Become an AI Backend Engineer
Build AI Systems Like Infrastructure, Not Magic
Master production-ready backend systems first, then apply that knowledge to AI. You should build systems that scale to a million users before adding AI, because AI is just another infrastructure layer. You'll ship real code, present your work, and get certified.
- Ship production code every week, no toy projects
- Present and defend your system like a senior engineer

AI Is Changing Backend Engineering
Are You Ready, or Getting Left Behind?
Every company is adding AI. Job descriptions now require "AI experience." But most backend engineers are stuck:
"AI feels like magic."
You can call an API, but you can't architect an AI system.
"Tutorials don't translate."
You've followed RAG tutorials, but production is completely different.
"I don't know what I don't know."
Cost controls? Memory systems? Human-in-the-loop? Where do you even start?
"I can't prove my skills."
No portfolio. No projects. Nothing to show in interviews.
The longer you wait, the more junior engineers with AI skills will pass you by.
Introducing the AI Backend Engineer Bootcamp
6 weeks to go from "AI feels like magic" to "I build AI infrastructure."
This isn't just another AI course. You need to be strong in building production-ready backend systems before applying that knowledge to AI. For us, production-ready means building and managing systems that scale to a million users.
We treat AI as infrastructure, not magic. You'll learn to control, observe, and operate AI components the same way you manage databases, caches, and queues. The same principles that make backends scale make AI systems reliable. No shortcuts. Real engineering.
- Production-focused: Every week you ship real, working code
- Defense-gated: You present your system and defend your decisions
- Cohort-based: Learn alongside peers, not alone

Is This Bootcamp Right For You?
This is for you if:
- You're a backend developer with 1-3 years of experience
- You've shipped at least one production backend service
- You're comfortable with Node.js, databases, and REST APIs
- You want to add AI infrastructure skills to your toolkit
- You can commit 15-20 hours per week for 6 weeks
- You want proof of your skills, not just another certificate
This is NOT for you if:
- You've never built a backend service before
- You're looking for a quick certificate without real work
- You want to learn prompt engineering (this is backend engineering)
- You can't commit the time (15-20 hrs/week is non-negotiable)
- You're looking for ML/model training content
