What makes a software resume match
- Name the exact languages, frameworks, and cloud services from the job description inside project and job bullets, not only in a skills list.
- Show scale: requests per second, users, data volume, latency, uptime, or cost saved.
- Keep GitHub and portfolio links as plain text at the top so parsers and recruiters can both use them.
How the match works
- 1. We read the job description and list its requirements, marking each as required or preferred.
- 2. We look for each requirement in your resume and quote the line that proves it.
- 3. A match only counts if the quote is really in your resume. Required skills count double.
Frequently asked questions
What skills do solutions architect job descriptions ask for?
In the 53 postings we analysed, the most common were AWS (46% of companies), Python (36% of companies), Java (32% of companies), Kubernetes (29% of companies), Azure (25% of companies). Match these against the specific job description you are applying to, because each employer weights them differently.
How much experience do solutions architect jobs require?
Postings that state a minimum ask for a median of 10 years. 0% accept a year or less, and 100% ask for five years or more (based on 39 postings that stated a number).
Are solutions architect jobs remote or in office?
Of postings that specified it, 74% were office-based, 2% hybrid, and 18% remote.
How does the job description match score work?
We pull the requirements out of the job description you paste, mark each one as required or preferred, and look for evidence of it in your resume. Only quotes that actually appear in your resume count as a match. The score is weighted so required skills count twice as much as preferred ones.
Should I add every missing keyword to my resume?
No. Add a skill only if you have genuinely used it, and show it inside a bullet about real work rather than only in a skills list. Recruiters and screening tools both treat unsupported keywords as padding.
