Architects Managing the Power of Data: Backend Engineers
The Backend Engineering program trains experts who build the invisible but most critical part of web applications. It offers an ideal education for those who want to design secure, scalable and high-performance systems.
About The Backend Engineer Program
Backend Engineering covers a wide range of technical areas from database management to API architectures, server-side programming to microservices. Students are introduced to popular backend technologies, while being equipped with the fundamentals of databases, services, authentication systems and distributed structures.
Throughout the program, students are exposed to applications based on real-world scenarios, performance- and security-oriented project work to meet the basic needs of enterprise systems. This education trains engineers who not only write code, but also manage the system they write in a sustainable, optimized and secure manner.
In addition, the program offers a well-rounded development covering software architecture, debugging, testing processes and version control systems. Graduates can either work as backend developers in large-scale companies or start their own projects as freelancers or entrepreneurs.
