A complete, annotated resume for a mid-level DevOps/SRE engineer. Every section is broken down — from infrastructure-as-code to incident response metrics — so you can see what actually lands interviews.
Scroll down to see the full resume, then read why each section works.
Site reliability engineer with 4 years of experience designing and operating production infrastructure serving 140M+ daily requests. Currently on the edge reliability team at Cloudflare, where I reduced P1 incident MTTR from 47 minutes to 11 minutes and built the observability platform that monitors 2,400+ services across 310 data centers. Previously built the CI/CD and infrastructure automation stack for a 40-person healthcare SaaS startup from the ground up.
CI/CD: GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Argo Rollouts, Jenkins IaC: Terraform, Pulumi, Helm, Kustomize Monitoring: Prometheus, Grafana, ClickHouse, PagerDuty, Datadog Cloud: AWS (EKS, EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, IAM), GCP (GKE) Languages: Python, Go, Bash Certifications: AWS Solutions Architect Professional, CKA
Seven things this DevOps resume does that most infrastructure resumes don’t.
Casey doesn’t just list Terraform in the skills section. The resume shows a progression: from manually provisioned EC2 instances to a fully Terraform-managed EKS cluster, then to canary deployments with Argo Rollouts at Cloudflare. That arc tells a story of growing IaC sophistication that a tool list never could. Hiring managers aren’t looking for someone who knows Terraform — they’re looking for someone who knows when and how to use it.
“Improved incident response” means nothing. “Reduced P1 incident MTTR from 47 minutes to 11 minutes” means everything. The specific before-and-after metric shows Casey didn’t just participate in on-call rotations — they redesigned how incidents are handled. MTTR, uptime percentages, and SLA numbers are the currency of DevOps resumes, and this one spends them well.
“Set up CI/CD” is a task. “Took deployment frequency from biweekly manual releases to 40+ automated deploys per day” is a transformation. The DORA metrics framework (deployment frequency, lead time, MTTR, change failure rate) gives DevOps engineers a ready-made vocabulary for quantifying their work. Casey uses it throughout, and it makes every bullet instantly credible.
Building a monitoring dashboard is junior-level work. Choosing to unify metrics, logs, and traces on Grafana + Prometheus + ClickHouse — replacing 4 separate tools — is a senior design decision. Casey explains the why behind the observability platform, not just the what. That distinction separates a DevOps engineer who configures tools from one who architects systems.
AWS Solutions Architect Professional and CKA are genuinely valuable certifications. But they’re listed as a single line within the skills section, not given their own dedicated section with badge images. This signals that Casey lets the work speak first and uses certifications as supporting evidence, not a substitute for hands-on experience. That’s exactly how experienced hiring managers want to see them.
CI/CD, IaC, Monitoring, Cloud, Languages, Certifications. Each category maps directly to how DevOps job postings list their requirements. An interviewer can scan this in seconds and confirm fit. Compare this to a wall of “Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, Jenkins, Linux, Python, Ansible, Prometheus, Grafana” — same tools, but the categorized version shows that Casey thinks in systems, not checklists.
At MedBridge, Casey built the CI/CD pipeline “from scratch,” migrated to Kubernetes, handled compliance, and cut the AWS bill by 40%. At a startup, you don’t specialize — you own everything. That breadth is incredibly valuable, especially when the Cloudflare role then shows depth in a specific area (SRE, observability). The combination of breadth and depth is exactly what makes a 4-year DevOps engineer competitive for senior roles.
The weak version describes a job description. The strong version describes a before-and-after transformation. Same on-call rotation, completely different signal to the hiring manager.
The weak version is a personality description. The strong version is a capability statement with scale (140M requests), specificity (Cloudflare edge team), and measurable results (MTTR reduction).
The weak version is a keyword dump with soft skills that don’t belong on a DevOps resume. The strong version is categorized by function, names specific AWS services, and only lists tools that appear in the experience bullets above.
This exact resume template helped our founder land a remote data scientist role — beating 2,000+ other applicants, with zero connections and zero referrals. Just a great resume, tailored to the job.
