Back End Developer

 What is a Back End developer?

A Back End dev uses a set of Back End developer languages to bring the Front End language of a developer to life. While a Front End dev creates the user experience within a browser, the Back End dev is creating the logic that makes those requests a reality. In some ways, a Back End dev is creating the brains and logic of the website.


What is a Back End developer? A Back End dev uses Ruby, Python, PHP, SQL, and other Back End programming languages to develop and maintain the Back End logic of a website.


Back End devs can be more technical and organized, but they are still a part of a larger team. While they need to know how to create the logic that efficiently pulls the data to fulfill a request, they also need to communicate their needs and potential limitations to the Front End dev. They are also responsible for maintaining this logic system. Back End devs are working with databases, servers, an application programming interface (API) that creates a structure for component interaction and the integration of all these processes.



Back End devs are using Back End programming languages such as Ruby, Python, PHP, Java, Microsoft’s .Net framework, and data management tools like SQL and MySQL to satisfy a user’s request. In the previous example with Amazon, a user’s request starts a chain of both seen and unseen events. A user enters a search term that then leads to thousands of results all in under a second. The user experiences everything a Front End dev created while enjoying the benefits of rapid information retrieval using logic created by a Back End dev. If a user clicks a button to go to a new page, or if a website has an infinite scroll feature, the Back End dev is responsible for making sure the user gets to the right page.


Back End devs are in high demand because of the technical nature of the role. It’s not as glamorous as Front End development, but Back End development is essential. The average annual salary for a Back End dev is $114,255 on Glassdoor and $126,601 on Indeed. Salaries can differ based on location, industry, and experience.


Key takeaway → A Back End dev develops and maintains the server-side logic of a website. They use multiple Back End languages including Ruby, Python, and PHP along with database management tools like SQL and .Net.
