Started out my first job as a frontend engineer with the devops mentality of "being frontend engineer means delivering the best frontend product as possible, including browser app, desktop app, Unity and Unreal Engine library".
I raised up to architectural role in 8 months. I mastered frontend while learning the fundamentals of backend, infra, management, and other fields that I haven't mastered yet.
Being frontend dev at heart, I will asks the engineer manager for engineers that masters the problem my team is facing, preferably with the same devops mindset. Having everybody having different mastery but the same devops mindset is the best scenario possible for an engineering team.
I think it's a misnomer to set the skillset of "frontend developer" to only html, css, javascript.
Frontend developer's skillset should be Information Architecture, User Interaction Design, and User Interface design.
If a company wants to hire engineers with more specific skillset, they should present it as "Software Engineer - Frontend - HTML CSS".
I do have met some people having the same expectation and I feel that they can still broaden out their skill to either UI/UX design or non-presentational layer of javascript.
