Dear Mr. Watson,

I am writing to express my interest for the position as full stack software developer at [Company X] in [City, State]. I was pleased finding the vacancy on [website.com] under section [Careers at] because I am convinced that my software developing skills can provide multifaceted technical solutions to the software platforms adopted by [Company X].

To shortly introduce myself, my name is [Name], and I have been developing websites and applications for around 10 years. Although I am not actively searching for a position, I heard from [Colleague name] about the availability for a devops position at [Company X]. I am thrilled about the prospect of working with the information-technology operations listed in the vacancy because it happens to be exactly the same experience that I seek for my career path.

During my 5 years’ employment at [Company Y], I was responsible for overseeing the development of innovative systems architecture via Django and Express Frameworks, HTML5, MySQL, CSS3/SASS, JavaScript/React and Elasticsearch. I was instrumental for modifying software to fix errors, allow it to adjust to new hardware, and to improve its performance, which resulted in $700k savings within a three-years timespan. For this result, I had to work closely with system analyses, engineers, business stakeholders and programmers to design systems and obtain information on project abilities and constraints, performance requirements and interfaces.

In the attachment, you can find my references and resume. It would be a pleasure to discuss [Company X] needs, and contribute to revenue generating web technologies that are compatible across numerous platforms, devices and browsers. For any questions, you can contact me via [Phone Number] or [E-mail address]. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best regards,
