Find Backend Engineer Jobs in the Chicago Area

Backend Engineers are web development specialists who create and maintain the technology that powers the server, database and application of a website. These engineers make sure all the components are in place to enable the frontend, client-side of the website, which is the side with which customers and other individuals interact. Backend Engineers often have a background in computer science and need to be adept with the necessary software.
