Tech and Software Engineer CV Templates
Technical recruiters scan for your stack first and your impact second. These templates move skills higher, give projects their own space, and lay technologies out in columns so they are easy to find.
They pair engineered-looking typefaces such as IBM Plex Sans and Roboto with a restrained accent colour. They also keep dates in a margin option for those with long histories.
Whatever you pick, list the technologies you have genuinely used in the last few years, and tie each to something you built or improved.

Questions
Should skills come before experience on a developer resume?
Often yes for early and mid-career roles, because it helps a recruiter match your stack quickly. The Engineer and Data Scientist templates do this by default.
Do I need a projects section?
It helps if you are early in your career or changing fields. For experienced engineers, strong experience bullets matter more.
Are these ATS-friendly?
The Engineer template is rated ATS excellent. Sidebar tech layouts look distinctive but are better for direct applications.
