Backend developer resume example

A backend developer resume has to show more than a list of languages. This example connects the stack to the results: requests per second, latency, uptime and the money a better architecture saved.

Writing tips

Put the stack where it is easy to scan

Group skills by language, databases, infrastructure and tools. Recruiters compare them with the job description in seconds; engineers read them later.

Describe load and scale

Requests per second, data volume, number of services or users: they tell the reader what level of problems you have already solved.

Show one decision you made

A migration, a new caching layer, a split of a monolith. Say why you did it and what changed, not just what you used.

Link to code if you have it

A GitHub profile with a couple of maintained projects or meaningful contributions is often read before the interview.
