Jake's Resume is one of the most widely used LaTeX résumé templates, especially among students and software engineers: one dense but readable page, with dates and places lined up on the right and nothing a recruiter has to hunt for. It was written by Jake Gutierrez, building on Sourabh Bajaj's résumé, and is shared under the MIT License, which stays at the top of the file.

Every entry goes through a few small commands (\resumeSubheading for a job or school, \resumeItem for a bullet), so adding a role means copying three lines and the spacing never drifts. The PDF keeps a real text layer, so applicant tracking systems can parse it.

Edit it in your browser, recompile to watch the page update, and send an edit link to a friend when you want a second pair of eyes.
