Strategic resume assembly for senior engineers.
One career library. Countless angles.
You build a single component library — your roles, bullets, skills, target lines, projects — and tag each piece with a priority per vector. A vector is a positioning angle like "Backend Engineering", "Security Platform", or "Engineering Leadership". When you select a vector, Facet's assembly engine automatically builds the highest-impact resume for that angle, respecting your page budget.
Senior engineers don't have one story — they have many. A single career can target backend infrastructure, security, platform engineering, or leadership roles. Traditional resume builders force you to maintain separate documents or manually reshuffle bullets every time. Facet eliminates that:
- Define once — write each bullet, skill group, and project once in your library
- Prioritize per angle — tag components as
must,strong,optional, orexcludefor each vector - Assemble instantly — select a vector and get a ready-to-send resume in seconds
- Stay within budget — the page budget engine trims lowest-priority content from the oldest roles first
The result is a resume that is always structurally sound, strategically targeted, and produced in a fraction of the time.
- Vector-based assembly — define positioning angles and get purpose-built resumes per target
- Priority system — four-tier priority (
must>strong>optional>exclude) with per-vector overrides - Text variants — write vector-specific phrasing for any bullet or target line, with automatic fallback to default text
- Live PDF preview — WYSIWYG preview rendered via Typst with bundled fonts and downloadable output
- Page budget engine — heuristic page estimation with intelligent trimming (trims lowest-priority bullets from oldest roles)
- Drag-and-drop ordering — reorder bullets within roles, persisted independently per vector
- Saved variants — snapshot your override state and switch between configurations per vector
- Multiple renderers — PDF (Typst), plain text, and Markdown (clipboard)
- Theme presets — multiple typographic themes with full control over fonts, spacing, colors, and layout
- Import / Export — YAML and JSON with strict schema validation and additive merge on import
- Fully local — all data persisted to localStorage, no account required

- Define your vectors — create positioning angles like "Backend Engineering" or "Security Platform"
- Build your component library — add target lines, profile summaries, roles with bullets, skill groups, and projects
- Tag priorities — for each component, set its priority (
must/strong/optional/exclude) per vector - Select a vector — the assembler builds the optimal resume for that angle
- Fine-tune — use manual overrides, text variants, and drag-and-drop to polish
- Export — download as PDF, copy as plain text or Markdown, or export your data as YAML/JSON
