• What does a back-end developer do?

  Back-End Developers are the magic behind the scenes of a website. They build and maintain the technology that enables the user-facing side of the website to exist. While the user doesn’t see the back-end or interact with it, the back-end is always running in the background, delivering functionality and a desktop-like web experience. 

  If you like fixing things, thinking logically or solving complex problems, this is a great career path for you.

• What type of companies hire back-end developers?

  Back-end developers play a critical role in web development teams and are needed in nearly every industry, every business and for every function. They help build, design and develop technology. The demand for this skillset has grown immensely over the last year and will continue to rise as new technologies emerge. 

• What jobs will this prepare me for?

  There are multiple branches of software engineering you can specialize in, and each one comes with a unique set of responsibilities.

• What is the difference between back-end and front-end developers?

  Front-end development is like the exterior of a house; the paint, the layout, design elements, or anything that a person can see. Whereas, back-end development is like the electric supply, the construction, the foundation, or anything which a person cannot see, but is critical for the house to exist. 

  In tech, it’s a lot like that. Front-end developers manage the visible parts of the website while back-end developers build, fix and maintain the aspects of the web application that are not visible to users. It’s the combination of these skillsets that make a website look and function in the best way possible.

• Why start a career in back-end development?

In 2020, there were more than 1.8 million jobs in the U.S. alone*.
