A software engineer's site for the job search, done in an evening

When you're job hunting, a personal site is a better CV: it has room for impact, context and the side projects that show how you think. FNJ's AI builder designs one around your experience and projects in an evening, so the rest of the week can go to interview prep. Export it, put it on your own domain and link it everywhere.

  • Next.js project
  • Static HTML
  • Push to GitHub
  • No FNJ runtime

The same sample at phone width. The builder designs every page at desktop, tablet and phone widths.

The sample, section by section

What a software engineer website needs

The sections the builder can design for you, and the job each one does. The starter prompt asks for these; add or drop any of them in your own words.

  1. 01

    Intro

    Your level, focus and what you're looking for.

  2. 02

    Experience

    Roles with impact bullets.

  3. 03

    Projects

    Side projects and open source.

  4. 04

    Writing and talks

    Links that show how you communicate.

  5. 05

    Skills

    Languages and systems, grouped.

  6. 06

    Contact and CV

    Email, LinkedIn, GitHub and a CV download.

Made for software engineers, not for everyone

Starter prompt

A prompt written for software engineers

It opens in the builder ready to edit. Replace the words in brackets with your own details, change anything else you like, then add a reference.

Reference to add

An engineer's personal site that felt credible and easy to read.

The builder takes a reference's look (layout, type, palette, spacing), never its words or images.

Use this prompt
Build a personal website for [your name], a [senior] software engineer looking for [backend / platform / product engineering] roles. Open with a short introduction stating my level, focus and what I'm looking for. Add an experience section with my last three roles (company, title, dates and three impact bullets each), a projects section with four side projects, a writing and talks section, a grouped skills section and a contact section with buttons for email, LinkedIn, GitHub and my CV. Professional and understated: a clean serif for headings, a readable sans-serif for body, a light theme with one accent.

How it works

  1. 01

    Describe your software engineer site

    Open the builder with the starter prompt, fill in your details and add a screenshot or link of a site you'd like yours to look like. A reference is required: it's what makes the design yours rather than a template.

  2. 02

    Watch it design every page

    The builder plans the pages, palette and type, then builds each page section by section on a canvas at desktop, tablet and phone widths while you watch.

  3. 03

    Refine it, then take the code

    Ask for changes in plain words or edit by hand, upload your own screenshots, then download a Next.js project or static HTML, or push it to your GitHub, and host it where you like.

What it costs: From $25/month, or $29 once for 50 credits that never expire. No FNJ hosting fee: you host the exported site. See plans

Software engineers: questions

Do software engineers need a portfolio website?
Not always, but a personal site gives you room for impact, projects and writing that a CV can't hold, and it's the link you control. If you build one, it should take an evening, not a month.
Can I link my CV as a PDF?
Yes: host the PDF anywhere (or add it to the exported project) and link a button to it.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. You host the exported site, so you point your domain at your host as usual.
How much does it cost for one personal site?
The one-time Site Pack covers it with credits to spare, and there's no monthly fee from FNJ for hosting because you host it.
