Why Axis

Made for numbers
like p99 and uptime.

Engineering hiring managers look for scope and results. Axis gives every role room for three or four measured outcomes and keeps them easy to scan.

Impact first

Each bullet leads with the change. The sample cuts p99 latency from 840 ms to 210 ms.

Selected projects

Open-source work and internal tools get their own section, with a line on the stack.

Page two for the rest

Talks, certifications and languages continue on the same grid.

What you get

Everything for one application,
and the next one.

Is it right for you?

Honest about who it suits.

A good fit if you

  • are a backend, platform, full-stack or mobile engineer
  • have five or more years and real numbers to show
  • have projects, talks or certifications worth listing

Look elsewhere if you

  • are early in your career and fit on one page (try Gallery)
  • work in product design or research (try Gallery)

Made for real hiring

Easy for people and for software.

Many companies run resumes through applicant tracking systems before a person sees them. Axis is built to survive that step.

  • Text is real text, not pictures of text
  • One reading order, top to bottom within each column
  • Standard headings for each section
  • No text boxes floating over the page

Tip: apply as a PDF unless the job post asks for Word. The guide shows how to save one that keeps its text selectable.

Before you buy.

Still unsure? Write to hello@vesperpaper.com and a person will answer.

Is a photo expected for engineering roles?

Usually not in the US and UK, so the photo is easy to remove and Skills moves up into its place. In much of Europe a photo is common.

Where do links to GitHub go?

Your profile goes in the contact line at the top, as in the sample. For a project, add its repository to the short line under the project name.

What do I do after I pay?

You get an email with download links for the Word files and links to the Google Docs versions. Open one, replace the sample text with yours, and save as PDF.

What if something does not open properly?

Write to hello@vesperpaper.com. We will fix the file or refund you. Since these are digital files, we can't take them back otherwise.

Can I use it for other people or sell it?

The personal license covers your own documents. Please don't resell or share the files, or use them to make documents for clients.
