Why DevOps Engineers need a tailored CV.
A strong background is necessary but not sufficient. The way your experience is expressed determines whether the ATS and the hiring manager ever see it.
ATS filters reject generic CVs
Most DevOps Engineer applications are filtered by applicant tracking systems before a human sees them. Systems score keyword alignment — not experience depth.
DevOps Engineer roles have specific keyword fingerprints
Each DevOps Engineer posting has a distinct set of required skills, tools, and methodologies. A tailored CV mirrors the exact phrasing recruiters and ATS engines search for.

DevOps Engineer CV questions, answered.
Which cloud certifications carry the most weight on a DevOps CV?
AWS certifications (Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer Professional) carry broad recognition; GCP and Azure equivalents signal depth on those platforms. CKA (Certified Kubernetes Administrator) is highly valued for container-heavy environments. Include certification level, issuing body, and expiry date. RoleFitCV ensures certifications appear in high-scoring positions when a JD explicitly lists them.
How do I write achievement bullets for infrastructure work?
Quantify reliability and efficiency: 'Reduced deployment frequency from weekly to multiple times daily via GitHub Actions pipeline', 'Achieved 99.97% uptime SLO for 12 consecutive months', 'Cut cloud spend by $180K/year by right-sizing EC2 fleet using Terraform'. RoleFitCV's achievement quantifier identifies which infrastructure outcomes in your history can be expressed this way.
How do I tailor my CV when DevOps, SRE, and platform engineer roles overlap?
The gap analyser identifies which lens each role applies — DevOps roles emphasise delivery pipeline and developer experience; SRE roles weight reliability metrics, error budgets, and post-mortems; platform engineering roles emphasise internal product mindset and developer self-service. RoleFitCV shifts the emphasis of your CV to match.
