SWE Backend + DSA Interview Prep Checklist

Land your next Backend/SWE role with a structured, no-fluff prep checklist.

This isn't another random list of topics — it's a complete, checkbox-style roadmap covering everything interviewers actually test for backend and SWE roles, organized so you always know what's next.

What's inside:

• ✅ Operating Systems (processes, memory, concurrency, scheduling)
• ✅ Computer Networks (HTTP, TCP/UDP, DNS, REST, security basics)
• ✅ System Design (scalability, caching, sharding, messaging, architecture patterns)
• ✅ DBMS (SQL, indexing, transactions, ACID, SQL vs NoSQL)
• ✅ Backend Tech Stack (Python/FastAPI/Django, auth, testing, Docker, Git)
• ✅ API Types & Databases (REST, GraphQL, gRPC, SQL/NoSQL options)
• ✅ Reliability, Security, Observability, Message Brokers
• ✅ OOP & Design Patterns, Architectural Patterns
• ✅ Full 180-Day DSA Checklist (arrays, trees, graphs, DP, and more) with a clear "Do Not Need" section so you stop wasting time on topics interviewers skip

Why this works:

Most candidates prep randomly and miss core CS fundamentals interviewers love to ask. This checklist gives you a single source of truth — print it, check off topics as you go, and walk into interviews knowing you've covered the full syllabus.

Format: PDF, printable, checkbox-style, instantly downloadable after purchase.

Perfect for: SDE/Backend interview prep, campus placements, referrals, and anyone targeting product-based companies.
