Data Engineer resume keywords
Pipelines, orchestration and the warehouse, named by tool, with data volumes. These are the terms recruiters search the ATS for, written the way postings write them.

How to use them
- Use the posting's exact wording. If it says a term one way, write it that way at least once.
- Write the method, not just the outcome: "ran A/B tests" rather than "improved conversion"
- Name the warehouse and the orchestration tool (dbt, Airflow) if you used them
- Quantify scale: rows, tables, dashboards, stakeholders served
- Only list what is true for you. A keyword you can't back up in an interview costs more than it gains.
