A mobile engineer with five years' experience, applying for a senior role on a field-service app
Dear Ms Lindgren,
Last year I cut the crash rate of the Routefield driver app from 2.1% of sessions to 0.3%1 by rewriting how it syncs when a phone goes offline. Your listing for a Senior Software Engineer says engineers in the field lose work when the signal drops, which is why I am writing.
I have spent five years building TypeScript and React Native apps, the last three on the team that owns Routefield's driver app. Alongside the sync work I led our move from one release a month to a release every week, with staged rollouts and automatic rollback. In the fourteen months since, no failed release has reached more than one driver in twenty3.
Your stack is React Native, TypeScript and PostgreSQL, the same three I work in every day2. I also review about ten pull requests a week and mentor two junior engineers, one of whom now leads our on-call rota.
Fernhill's public engineering notes on offline-first design were the most useful thing I read last year, and I would like to work with the people who wrote them.
I would be glad to walk you through the sync rewrite in detail. I am available any day after 3 pm.
Yours sincerely, Mateus Carvalho

- 2The team's stack is taken from the listing and the match is stated in a few words, without listing every technology on the resume.
- 3An outcome the business cares about, which says more than a description of the code that was written.
