Engineering Roadmaps

Step-by-step paths from beginner to hired, where every skill links to a real broken system you fix in a live cloud workspace. Pick your role.

Each roadmap breaks a role down into the skills that actually get you hired, in order - and every step links to a real broken system you fix in a live cloud workspace, so you learn by doing instead of just reading. The path runs from fundamentals to the senior-level work that sets candidates apart.

Frequently asked questions

How do I follow an engineering roadmap?

Work top to bottom: learn each skill, then immediately practice it on a real broken system rather than moving on. Hands-on reps are what make a roadmap stick and give you portfolio proof.

Are these roadmaps free?

Yes - the roadmaps are free to follow, and junior-level practice projects are free across every role.

Which engineering role should I choose?

Pick by the work you enjoy: infrastructure and reliability (DevOps and Kubernetes), building services (Backend), data pipelines (Data), breaking and securing systems (Security), or AI features (AI). Each roadmap shows the day-to-day.

Start with real work. Fix a real production system free in a live cloud workspace - every fix lands on your portfolio.
