Common mistakes on resumes for this role
- "Familiar with AWS" with no services named — S3, EC2, RDS, Lambda are the actual signal, not the acronym.
- No infrastructure-as-code mention. The absence of Terraform or CloudFormation reads as manual, click-ops infrastructure in 2026.
- Incident and on-call work omitted even though it's core to the role and a strong differentiator.
- Bullets describe setup work ("configured CI/CD pipeline") with no before/after — deploy frequency, downtime, MTTR.
Weak vs. strong
Weak Managed CI/CD pipelines and cloud infrastructure.
Strong Migrated deploys to a Terraform-managed GitHub Actions pipeline, cutting release time from 45 minutes to 6 and eliminating manual rollbacks.
