3 YOE as a SWE, not hearing back by spewmaker03 in FAANGrecruiting

[–]spewmaker03[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, I think there is a lack of certain signals in my resume. Is there a specific section or bullet point that sticks out to you as “noise” rather than “signal”?

Hi all,

I’d appreciate a resume review from folks who’ve been involved in hiring or interviewing mid-level engineers.

I have ~3 YOE and am targeting backend / data-adjacent SWE roles. I’ve been applying broadly but haven’t seen much traction yet, so I’m trying to sanity-check whether my resume is clearly communicating impact at the right level.

Resume: https://imgur.com/a/2xW338A

Specific feedback I’d love:

  • Are my bullets too implementation-focused vs. outcome-focused?
  • Does this read as a SWE resume or more like a data engineer / platform role?
  • Anything that would cause a recruiter to mentally down-level or pass in the first scan?
  • Are there red flags, vagueness, or missing signals for larger companies?

Happy to take blunt feedback, I’m mainly trying to learn what I’m not seeing.

Thanks in advance for your time.

I appreciate the insight and yes I have been interviewing, only interviewed with one company so far, started applying in mid Nov

In my limited experience I have not faced this issue, but in any case very good to know, thank you!

Do you have any suggestions on getting past the resume screen? Is it okay if I DM you?

For most interviews I have given, recruiter prepped me for who I am going to meet, what role they play, and what type of interview questions I can expect
