Hi everyone,

I am a software engineer with 7+ years of experience building backend systems and APIs. I mainly work with Go and Node.js, and I focus on high-load systems, microservices, and distributed architectures. I also have experience working in a Big Tech company (Yandex).

I am currently applying for roles in the US market for the first time, and I would really appreciate feedback on my resume. I want to better understand how it is perceived in the US market and what I can improve.

I would especially appreciate feedback on:

  • clarity and strength of my achievements
  • whether my experience level is correctly perceived
  • any weak or unclear parts
  • ATS optimization and formatting

I also have a question about English level. My current level is around B1 (conversational). Do you think this is enough for backend roles in the US, or could it be a serious limitation in interviews or daily work?

Thank you very much in advance for any feedback!

Any feedback is appreciated, especially from US-based engineers or hiring managers.
