Get your blockchain developer resume past ATS screening. Paste any job description below, get your keyword match score, and generate a tailored CV in 60 seconds.
These keywords appear most frequently in blockchain developer job descriptions. Missing even a few can drop your ATS score below the screening threshold.
Hard and soft skills that blockchain developer ATS systems look for
Common mistakes that cause blockchain developer resumes to fail ATS screening
List 'Solidity' as a standalone keyword in Skills - it's the primary ATS filter for Ethereum/EVM developer roles
Include 'smart contracts' AND 'smart contract auditing' - security awareness is an explicit ATS filter for senior roles
Add specific ERC standards you've implemented: 'ERC-20', 'ERC-721', 'ERC-1155', 'ERC-4626' - these are parsed as distinct keywords
Include 'Layer 2' and the specific chains: 'Optimism', 'Arbitrum', 'Polygon', 'zkSync' - L2 experience is increasingly required
Add 'DeFi', 'DEX', 'AMM', 'lending protocol' if you have that experience - sector-specific keywords boost ATS scores for Web3 protocol roles
Include 'Foundry' - it has overtaken Hardhat as the preferred testing framework and appears in modern smart contract JDs
Core ATS keywords: 'Solidity', 'smart contracts', 'Ethereum', 'EVM', 'Hardhat' or 'Foundry', 'OpenZeppelin', 'Web3.js' or 'Ethers.js', 'ERC-20', 'ERC-721'. Sector keywords (weight depends on the role): 'DeFi', 'NFT', 'DAO', 'AMM', 'lending protocol'. Security keywords for senior roles: 'smart contract audit', 'reentrancy', 'access control', 'formal verification'.
Yes. Foundry has rapidly gained adoption for its speed in testing and fuzzing, while Hardhat remains dominant in production codebases. Many teams use both. Listing both signals versatility and awareness of the ecosystem. In Experience bullets, show what you tested with each: 'wrote 200+ Foundry fuzz tests catching 3 edge cases before mainnet deployment' is stronger than just listing the tool.
Name the protocol type and scale: 'built AMM with $8M TVL', 'integrated Aave flash loan arbitrage strategy', 'deployed yield aggregator across 5 liquidity pools'. Use DeFi vocabulary as ATS keywords: 'AMM', 'TVL', 'liquidity pool', 'yield farming', 'lending protocol', 'flash loan', 'oracle integration'. Include specific protocol interactions: 'Uniswap V3 integration', 'Compound V3 lending', 'Chainlink price feeds'.
Only if you're targeting multi-chain roles or Solana-specific positions. Solana roles require Rust and Anchor framework - it's a completely different paradigm from EVM development. Most blockchain developer JDs specify EVM (Solidity) or Solana (Rust) - not both. If you have both, list them separately in your Skills and indicate which chains you've deployed to production. This differentiates you significantly for multi-chain protocol roles.
Very important for senior roles. Even if you're not a dedicated security auditor, listing 'smart contract security', 'reentrancy attack prevention', 'access control patterns', and 'OpenZeppelin security library' shows maturity. For audit-specific roles, add 'Slither', 'Echidna', 'MythX', and 'formal verification'. Quantify any audit work: 'audited 4 DeFi protocols totaling $50M TVL, identified 2 critical and 7 medium vulnerabilities'.
