Developer Career Kit — Resume, Cover Letter, Portfolio

Most developer resume templates are either an over-designed mess of icons and skill bars, or a wall of grey text a recruiter skims in six seconds. This kit is neither. It gives you four job-search documents built in one restrained editorial-tech system — the same look Linear, Vercel, and Stripe use — so your application reads like it was made by someone with taste.

What You Get

Four editable Canva templates, all sharing one type scale, a single indigo accent, and generous whitespace:

• Developer Resume — Two-Column — a left rail for summary, skills, and certifications beside a main column for experience and education. Best when you have projects and roles to show off.
• Developer Resume — Single-Column (ATS) — a linear, single-column flow that applicant-tracking systems parse cleanly, so you never get filtered out before a human reads it.
• Developer Cover Letter — a one-page letter with an indigo name and subject line, near-black body, and a Contact footer. Placeholder-driven and reusable for every role you apply to.
• Developer Portfolio One-Pager — a projects sheet with PROFILE, TECH STACK, and OPEN SOURCE on the left and SELECTED PROJECTS plus EXPERIENCE on the right. Each project block prompts you for the name, stack, link, what it does, and an impact number.

How to Use

No software to install and no Canva Pro required. Open the PDF inside the download, click any template link, and press Use template — a private copy lands in your own free Canva account. Replace every bracketed placeholder like [Your Name] and [Project Name] with your details, then export to PDF and send. Your edits never touch the original, so each template is reusable for your next application too.

Who This Is For

Software engineers and developers job-hunting who want a resume that looks designed, not generated; bootcamp grads and juniors who need an ATS-safe format that still stands out; and anyone tired of fighting a bloated template just to move one line. If you write code for a living, this kit was built for you.
