Building an ATS-Proof Developer Resume in 2026

List languages, frameworks, and tools explicitly. Don not hide them in project descriptions.

Use the PAR format: Problem, Action, Result. Include metrics wherever possible.

Link your GitHub profile and portfolio prominently. Many tech recruiters check these first.

For experienced devs (3+ years), put experience first. For juniors, lead with education and projects.

Include keywords from the job posting: specific technologies, methodologies (Agile, Scrum), and tools.
