Tech recruiters and hiring managers skim hundreds of resumes and they are allergic to decoration. What they look for is signal: the stack you actually shipped with, the scale you worked at, and measurable outcomes. A cluttered or over-designed resume buries that signal, and heavily styled layouts often parse badly in the ATS portals most tech companies use.
These templates keep the signal high. The single-column picks are the safest for big-company portals; the sidebar options give your skills and tools a dedicated rail that engineering managers can scan in one pass. Every one downloads as a clean, text-first PDF.

Which resume template is best for software engineers?
For applications through portals at large companies, a single-column template like Minimal is the safest because parsing is flawless. If you are emailing your resume directly or applying at startups, a sidebar design like Vertex or Iris lets you surface your stack prominently without hurting readability.
Should a tech resume include projects?
Yes, especially early in your career or when switching stacks. Two or three projects with the problem, the technology, and a measurable result carry more weight than a long skills list. Every template here supports a projects section you can reorder or hide per application.
