How to write a Kotlin Developer resume
A strong Kotlin Developer resume shows the systems you built, the scale they run at, and the measurable effect on speed, reliability or cost. Put your most relevant recent role first and make every bullet show a result, not a duty.
Sections, in order
Summary
Experience
Projects
Skills
Education
Length: One page for most candidates; move to two only if every line is relevant.
Summary: Write two or three lines: your role, your strongest skills, and one result that proves them.
Skills to feature
Programming languages
System design
Cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure)
CI/CD
Testing and code review
Databases and SQL

Example bullet points
Rebuilt the checkout service in Go, cutting p95 latency from 900 ms to 180 ms for 2M monthly users
Introduced contract tests and staged rollouts, reducing production incidents by 45% in two quarters

Tips from recruiters
Group skills by category (for example "Languages: Go, TypeScript") so recruiters and ATS parsers find them quickly.
Link to a repository, demo or write-up for at least one project you can talk about in depth.
Name the stack inside each bullet; keyword matching happens at the bullet level, not only in the skills list.
Recommended templates
Classic (ATS-friendly): Jake's-style LaTeX classic: small caps and hairline rules
Tech (ATS-friendly): Developer style: mono headings and tags, sans body
Modern (ATS-friendly): Clean single column with accent headings and rules
