Dear Hiring Manager, I am writing to apply for the Software Engineer role at your organisation. Four years of building React/Node and Python applications — most recently as senior dev at a Cairo SaaS startup serving 500K+ users — give me strong end-to-end fluency. My current role has me owning the customer dashboard and the event pipeline, including a recent AWS Lambda migration that cut infra cost by 28%. Earlier, at an outsourcing firm, I delivered 14 client projects across React, Vue, and Django stacks. I am comfortable in English-only teams and able to work US Eastern or European business hours. I am open to remote-first roles with European or US companies, or hybrid in Cairo. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my experience aligns with your needs. Sincerely, [Your Name]
