Terminal — developer resume template

Markdown-style lowercase mono labels and arrow bullets. Plain text under the hood.

Terminal is one of 22 free résumé templates in PaperKit, the no-login résumé builder from CodeSierra. It is free to use and free to download as a PDF — no account, no watermark and nothing to pay — and it prints to A4 or US Letter. Terminal is single-column and ATS-safe, so an applicant tracking system reads it in the order you wrote it. You fill it in as a form with the real PDF rendering beside you, and switching to any other template carries your content across untouched.

Pick Terminal if…

  • You would rather your resume looked like a README than a brochure.
  • You are applying to engineering-led teams and startups.
  • You want the most machine-readable layout on the shelf.

How it stays parsable

  • One column, top to bottom — no sidebars or text boxes to reorder your history.
  • Section headings are real text, not images, so a parser can label your content.
  • No background graphics, so a scanner reads black text on white paper.
  • Dates and employers sit on the same line as the role they belong to.

Terminal works well for these roles

Each example comes with profession-specific bullets you can edit in place.

Questions about Terminal

Is the Terminal resume template free?
Yes. Terminal is free — no login, no watermark and nothing to pay at the download step. You can edit it in your browser and download the PDF straight away. Every PaperKit template is free the same way, in all four makers: there is no premium set and nothing to unlock.
Is Terminal ATS-friendly?
Yes. Terminal is single-column with semantic headings and no background graphics, sidebars or text boxes — the structure an applicant tracking system parses reliably. The editor also shows a live ATS score as you type.
Can I switch away from Terminal later?
Yes. Templates are a design layer over your content, so you can change template at any point inside the editor without retyping or losing a single line.
