About the Foster template
The Foster software engineer resume template puts your stack up front, where a technical screen looks first, with monospace metadata accents that give it an unmistakably engineering feel. The bullet guidance is written for developers: shipped outcomes, scale, and the exact technology keywords recruiters and ATS filters search for.
It stays ATS-safe underneath the styling, so your keywords are read as text rather than lost in graphics. Edit it free in Google Docs, or open the included Word and Pages file. One page, free fonts, and a Quick Start guide included.
Your purchase also includes a matching cover letter and a references page, built into the same document and styled to match this template exactly, so your whole application looks like it belongs together. Keep the pages you need and delete the rest.

Why it passes ATS
- Built on a real document grid, not text boxes or images, so parsers read every line

- Selectable, machine-readable text throughout — nothing important baked into graphics
- A clean, logical reading order that survives the copy-paste an ATS runs on your file

Where do I list my tech stack on the Foster template?+
The layout leads with a dedicated skills section so your stack sits near the top, where technical recruiters and keyword filters look first. The guidance shows you how to group languages, frameworks, and tools for the cleanest scan.
Does this include a cover letter and references?+
Yes. Every template comes with a matching cover letter and a references page built into the same Google Doc as the resume, styled to match it exactly. They're included at no extra cost — just keep the pages you need and delete the rest before you export.
Are these templates ATS-friendly?+
