Resume keywords

Cloud Engineer resume keywords

The cloud platform and its certification, then infrastructure-as-code and automation. These are the terms recruiters search the ATS for, written the way postings write them.

Tools, systems and languages

  • Amazon Web Services
  • Microsoft Azure
  • Terraform
  • Kubernetes
  • Linux
  • Python
  • AWS IAM

Skills and methods

  • CI/CD
  • Networking

How to use them

  • Use the posting's exact wording. If it says a term one way, write it that way at least once.
  • Give the platform and the scale: "managed Intune for 1,200 devices"
  • Name networking fundamentals you used: DNS, DHCP, VPN, VLANs
  • List certifications with their full names
  • Only list what is true for you. A keyword you can't back up in an interview costs more than it gains.
