\textbf{\color{accent}Re: Senior Software Engineer position}

\vspace{10pt}

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to apply for the Senior Software Engineer role at Company Name.
Over the past eight years at Stripe and Airbnb, I have built distributed
systems for payments and infrastructure -- areas I understand to be central
to your team's roadmap.

At Stripe, I led the migration of the billing service from monolith to
microservices, cutting p99 latency by 42\% and enabling faster independent
deploys. I also designed a rate-limiting layer now handling 2.4M RPS at peak.

Beyond individual contributions I care deeply about mentorship. I have mentored
four engineers, two of whom have been promoted within 18 months. I would bring
that same commitment to Company Name.

I am specifically drawn to your recent work on Project Y and your public
engineering blog post about infrastructure scale-out. I would welcome the
chance to discuss how my experience could contribute to that work.

Thank you for your consideration.
