Your CV already shows both: card processing at 40k transactions a minute. Tailoring puts those facts in the ad’s words.
The job ad
Senior Backend EngineerPayments company · Amsterdam
Scale our payment platform. Strong Kotlin, experience with event-driven systems and Kafka, and a record of reducing latency on high-throughput services.
Your bullet
Rebuilt the settlement pipeline for our card processing service (40k transactions a minute) using Kafka; p99 latency went from about 840ms to 120ms.

Cover letter
Senior Backend EngineerWritten from your CV and the job ad
Your payment platform needs lower latency on high-throughput services. At my current company I rebuilt the settlement pipeline on Kafka and cut p99 latency from about 840ms to 120ms, at 40k transactions a minute.
I also led 18 services onto an event-driven architecture in Kotlin, the stack your team runs.
I’m available for a first conversation this week.
Jullie betaalplatform heeft lagere latency nodig op high-throughput services. Bij mijn huidige werkgever heb ik de settlement-pipeline opnieuw gebouwd op Kafka en de p99-latency verlaagd van ongeveer 840 ms naar 120 ms, bij 40.000 transacties per minuut.
Ook heb ik 18 services overgezet naar een event-driven architectuur in Kotlin, de stack waar jullie team mee werkt.
Ik ben deze week beschikbaar voor een eerste gesprek.

A few years ago I moved from India to the Netherlands as a software engineer. I had the experience, the skills and the projects — and recruiters weren’t even seeing my CV.

Questions people ask before they upload.
Will it invent experience I don’t have?
It’s built not to. It rewrites what you give it and shows you the skills a role asks for that your CV doesn’t mention — you decide whether to add them.
Are the country formats really free?
Yes. All 11 country formats and 3 ATS templates are on the free plan. Pro adds unlimited tailoring and cover letters, 14 more templates and Find Jobs (beta), a job feed that flags visa sponsorship mentions.
What happens to my CV once I upload it?
It’s stored encrypted in the EU (Sweden), never sold and never used to train models. Delete your account and it’s permanently deleted, not just flagged.
Is LumiCV a recruitment agency? Will you find me a job?
No. It’s software you use yourself. It shows live listings scored against your CV, rewrites your CV for each posting and tracks your applications. You choose the roles and you apply. LumiCV isn’t a recruiter, staffing agency or immigration consultancy, and it doesn’t contact employers or sponsor visas.
What can I upload to start?
A PDF or DOCX file up to 10 MB. It becomes editable sections, not a blank form — or you can build from scratch.
Will tailoring overwrite my CV?
No. Each tailored version is a separate copy. Your base CV is never touched, and version history lets you go back.
Do I have to apply in the local language?
Usually not — English is normal at international employers in Amsterdam, Berlin or Dublin. Where it isn’t, the translator covers 27 languages and keeps your layout.
What does “parse-tested” mean?
We render every template to PDF and check that a text parser reads each field back in the right order, with nothing dropped. Exports are real text, never images.
Can I cancel Pro any time?
Yes, from your billing page. You keep Pro until the end of the period, then return to Free. Cancel during the 7-day trial and you’re never charged.
Your experience is fine. Give it the right format.
