There is something inside of me trying to process the parade of resumes I'm seeing that say someone is a "JavaScript Engineer"

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).
