Funny you mention that; over the weekend I had the insane idea of implementing my CV as a Flask API that returns JSON because I was bored and thought it'd be a funny weekend project "Resume as a Service"; wouldn't submit it as a resume but I have thought about tossing it at a hiring manager if during an interview they asked for code samples.
Hi there, I haven't use that much of softwares for that purpose but one I kept using for a long time since I discovered it some years ago is resume.io which suits my needs as I had to make two CV in the past. If you do not want to go in a whole development of your CV I highly recommend it. It is a paid service but really worth the money.
Now I just keep a GitHub private repository with all my CVs that I made in HTML, CSS (MaterializeCSS) & JavaScript (Elm). It is just easier for me to update it since I do web development as a daily basis.
I build software and work with software teams to improve workflows, communication, and best practices. If you'd like to work together, please get in touch!
I use Notion.so for this (and for dozens of other things). When I'm sending out a new version, I'll just make a copy and tailor it a little bit. That leaves me with an archive that I can look through later when a similar job comes up.
I see a few comments here mention using web dev tools to create PDF/HTML documents. Personally, I like using Notion because I don't need to worry about other things like how to structure a JSON file, or the best way to deploy a different version for a different job. It's simple, and it looks good. Employers are only going to spend a couple minutes looking at it anyway - if they want to get a sense of my programming skills, they can look at my github profile or projects I have linked to.

I recently used jsonresume and was quite happy with it. You can enter your data in json and then choose from existing templates or create your own :)
Although it lacks quite a few customization features.

I have a git repo setup with branches for each application I send so I can see the versions :)
I use canva.com. Easy PDF export and customization. Super userfriendly and it's free.
