Application Analyzed (Ashby) Candidate: Jane Doe Job: Senior Backend Engineer Match Score: 84 Recommendation: Consider for roles focused on platform engineering or infrastructure leadership rather than backend engineering. Summary: Jane Doe is an experienced infrastructure engineering leader with a strong background in platform reliability and developer productivity. While he has significant leadership experience, his resume does not highlight specific backend engineering skills or experience that align with the job requirements. His expertise may be better suited for roles focused on platform or infrastructure management. View full report → https://swiftlynx.ai/r/ats-ashby-XXXX
