Tech & engineering careers, screened the way engineers actually get hired.
Resume examples, interview guides, salary benchmarks, and career-path maps for software, data, security, cloud, and hardware roles — written by people who have run the loops.
Tech hiring is a screen behind a screen. A recruiter reads your résumé for 7 seconds, an ATS parser reads it in milliseconds, and then a hiring committee reads it against a leveling rubric that most candidates never see. Marqee's tech coverage is authored by former FAANG recruiters and staff engineers — Marcus Thompson (ex-Google, Meta), Omar Farouk (ex-Amazon, Shopify, Cloudflare), and Thomas Nakamura (ex-Netflix, Uber, Databricks). Every guide here is written to the leveling signals interviewers actually score against, not the platitudes that fill most career sites.
What the tech & engineering careers vertical actually covers
Tech & Engineering Careers at Marqee spans 12 US Standard Occupational Classification codes — from individual-contributor roles through director and executive levels. The guides in this hub are written to how each role is actually screened, interviewed, and leveled by the employers that hire the largest volumes.
Every résumé example lists the ATS keywords a parser looks for. Every interview guide lists the loops actually run. Every salary guide lists the real US band, the levers a recruiter can move, and the levers they can't. That specificity is what separates a guide that helps from a guide that fills space.
