Format your credentials according to the strict single-column standard preferred by Citadel, Jane Street, and top tech recruiters. Edit live and export a crisp 1-page PDF.
Citadel, Jane Street, and Two Sigma parse resumes through automated applicant tracking systems. Multi-column layouts, graphics, and icon tables corrupt text extraction. A clean single-column serif or sans layout guarantees 100% parser fidelity.
Never list generic responsibilities. State the specific achievement, the metric, and the engineering method: e.g., “Optimized order router in C++20, cutting wire-to-market latency by 35% to 420ns.”
Differentiate yourself from generalist web developers by highlighting low-latency systems (C++20, lock-free, cache profiling), stochastic mathematics, and competition credentials (Putnam, USAMO, ICPC).
