AFAICT this means one of two things: 1.) a career spent (thus far) in a single, preferred backend language 2.) a career spent on the frontend with an increasingly backend-relevant set of skills (hopefully)

In none of the cases I've encountered thus far does this seem to describe a cross-cutting set of backend or frontend relevant skills. that is, JavaScript seems to be the commonality in something I'm struggling to express kindly. Perhaps this was once PHP's role?

It could all be branding!!!! That said, nobody who professes to be a "JavaScript engineer" seems down with either real-world frontend device constraints or the complex tradeoffs in service design that arise from the CAP theorem.

The folks who have facility with these problems seems to call themselves "web developer" or "frontend engineer" (on the client) or something other-language-aligned on the server (even if they spend all day in JS/TypeScript).

It’s basically “I started because I wanted to wiggle buttons using jQuery but time has moved on and now I can write web apps and backends. Neat!” (Certainly my case 4-5 years ago)

ooohhh, don't get me started. I have done screening interviews for clients in the past. 0 candiates were JS developers. I start by asking "describe the critical rendering path" - followed by - "uh.......[make up something]...jQuery"
