One-Page Tech Resume Format

Single-page LaTeX-style resume layout tailored for startup engineering roles.

This reference format demonstrates a dense, single-page resume layout optimized for tech startups and Y Combinator companies. It structures bullet points using a strict formula combining action verbs, specific technologies, and measurable outcomes. The layout prioritizes clear hierarchy, minimal whitespace, and concrete engineering metrics over decorative styling.

The framework

Template structure: Name + contact links (email, GitHub, LinkedIn) at top; Education section (institution, degree, dates, GPA, one-line course/field list); Experience section with company name, role, location and dates, followed by dense bullets. Bullets follow a pattern: verb + what was built + tech named (D3/visx, Nest.js, CQRS, LoRa, Pulumi, gRPC, CRDT, TipTap, ProseMirror, CRDT, KDTree, React, Postgres, Mongo) + quantified result. Example companies: DynamoAI, Union.ai, Synthesia, Alan AI. Notable metric bullets: CVE count reduced from 609 to 2; implemented agentic-evaluation framework using foundation open-source models.

What it's for

  • Format a software engineering resume to fit cleanly onto a single page
  • Rewrite experience bullets to emphasize tech stack tools and quantifiable impact
  • Tailor a technical CV specifically for early-stage and high-growth startup applications

Why it was saved

  • @drummatick, 3 July 2025: Shows concrete resume craft: one-page LaTeX layout (Jake's-resume-like template), and experience bullets that always name the tool/tech, the action, and a metric (e.g. CVEs 609 → 2, GPA 9.83/10).
