Tech CV Template (UK, 2026)

Technical skills prominently featured with tags

The Tech CV template features your technical stack as tagged skills near the top, then experience. It suits software engineers and data scientists, where a recruiter and an ATS both scan for specific languages, frameworks and tools before reading anything else on the page.

Tech layout

Best for: Software engineers & data scientists

Family: Specialized

Exports as: Classic PDF (single-column, ATS-parseable)

When the Tech template fits

Use Tech when the role names a stack and matching it fast matters: software, data, DevOps, security and platform roles. The tagged skills block gets your languages and tools in front of a keyword search immediately. For non-technical roles the tag block adds noise, and Classic or Modern read better.

How it is structured

A short summary naming your discipline, seniority and primary stack.
A skills block grouped by type (languages, frameworks, cloud and tooling) as scannable tags.
Experience with bullets that pair a technical action with a measurable outcome (latency, uptime, cost, scale).
Notable projects or open-source work with links, and education or certifications to close.

Will it pass an ATS?

The skill tags are styled text, not images, so an ATS reads every keyword, which is the whole point for a technical role. Vouch exports Tech through the Classic PDF layout: the tags become a clean comma-separated list in the file, so the parser gets the same stack a recruiter sees.

Making it work

List only tools you can be interviewed on, and keep the stack honest, because a technical interview will test it. In experience bullets, connect the technology to the result ("cut p95 latency 40% by moving the read path to Redis") rather than listing what you touched.

Build a Tech CV without starting from a blank page

Vouch interviews you about your experience, then writes each section in your own words and lays it out in the Tech design. It never invents anything you did not say, and it exports a clean, single-column PDF an ATS can read.

Frequently asked questions

Should I list every technology I have used?

No. List the ones relevant to the role and that you can defend in an interview. A padded stack invites questions you cannot answer and buries the tools that matter. Group them so a reader sees your core languages first.

Where do side projects and open source go on a tech CV?

In their own short section with links, below experience but above education for most engineers. They are strong evidence early in a career or when moving stack, so give them real estate and a one-line note on what each demonstrates.
