Who the Software Engineer ATS template is for
If you are among software engineers, data professionals and IT candidates with deep tool and stack lists, Software Engineer ATS is designed for exactly that. High-ATS technical template with expandable skills matrix and project showcase. Engineered for software engineers and developers.
Why this layout works
A dedicated technical-skills block that stays scannable even when the stack list runs long, without pushing experience onto a second page.
ATS performance
Software Engineer ATS scores 96/100 in NextCV's ATS analyser — among the highest-parsing layouts available, with effectively no structural elements that trip automated screening.
At 96/100 it is the highest-scoring of the 2 technical templates in NextCV — 4 points ahead of Technical Professional at 92. Across all 29 NextCV templates it ranks second for ATS parsing.
Pricing
This is one of NextCV's free templates: unlimited edits, unlimited PDF exports, and nothing stamped across the page.
Tip for the Technical format
Group skills by category (languages, frameworks, cloud, tooling) rather than one long comma-separated line — recruiters scan for a specific term.
Run the ATS check before you send it — the analyser flags missing keywords against the specific job description you are targeting.
