# Engineering Manager Resume Tips + Automated Matching

## The EM balancing act

Engineering Managers need to show both technical depth and people leadership. Too much code talk and you look like an IC. Too much management talk and companies wonder if you can earn the team's respect.

## Resume tips for EMs

- **Lead with team outcomes** — "Grew team from 4 to 12, shipped 3 major features"
- **Show technical context** — mention the tech stack without getting into implementation details
- **Highlight hiring and mentoring** — companies value EMs who build great teams
- **Include process improvements** — agile adoption, CI/CD, incident response

## The matching challenge

EM roles vary wildly: some want a coding manager, others want a people-first leader, and some want both. A generic resume won't connect with any of them strongly.

[Gurify](https://gurify.com/) scores each EM role against your actual experience and generates a tailored resume that emphasizes the right aspects for each specific position.
