Standout — sample LinkedIn visibility audit

Backend Software Engineer

Target: Senior Backend Engineer · Platform / Distributed Systems

42before89after

Before (42/100): Recruiter search can't tell what you build or how senior you are — the profile reads like a hobby bio, not a shortlist.

After (89/100): All three rewrites now carry the exact role titles, stack, and quantified outcomes a LinkedIn Recruiter boolean search filters on — so this profile surfaces for the senior backend and platform roles it was invisible to before.

Keyword-optimized headline

Before

Software Engineer at a fintech startup | Coffee lover ☕ | Opinions my own

After

Senior Backend Engineer — Go, Python & AWS | Distributed Systems, Payments Infrastructure & API Design | Scaling high-throughput services

Rewritten About section

Before

I'm a passionate software engineer who loves solving problems and building cool things. I've worked on a bunch of projects and I'm always learning new technologies. In my spare time I enjoy hiking and coffee.

After

Backend engineer with 6 years building high-throughput payments and platform services in Go and Python on AWS. I design distributed systems that stay fast and correct under load — event-driven pipelines, idempotent APIs, and observability that catches issues before customers do. Recently led a service migration that cut p99 latency 40% and halved on-call pages. I'm looking for a senior backend or platform role where reliability at scale is the point, not an afterthought.

Replaces a vague 'passionate engineer' About with the seniority signal and stack a boolean recruiter search actually matches.
Rewrites every experience bullet from duties ('worked on', 'helped') into quantified, keyword-rich outcomes (p99 −40%, 12M+ txns/day) recruiters shortlist on.
