How to write a devops engineer resume

  1. Use DORA metrics: deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate and recovery time.
  2. Show cost impact — cloud savings are one of the most persuasive numbers on a DevOps resume.
  3. List certifications (AWS, CKA, Terraform) in their own section; ATS filters often look for them.
