Backend has quite a bit to do with managing data, aggregating it, modifying it, sanitizing it, etc. Because of that I’d recommend learning a bit of SQL. The Postgres manual is actually quite accessible and it had a huge impact on my career.
With Django you might not need to write SQL too frequently since you can use its ORM but knowing the underlying tool can help you understand and avoid things like n+1 bugs, SQL Injection security vulnerabilities, and it can empower you write efficient ORM code.
Best of luck in your transition!
