I dunno from web stuff, really, but none of that sounds like rocket surgery ( because I don't know what I am talking about, you see - this always makes everything easier ). Of the list, "scaling the backend" sounds the riskiest because the tools landscape is very fragmented. Then again, a person with whom I went to college is a recognized expert on Oracle performance. I find it keenly interesting that such a role even exists. I look at startup-ey, Webby looking job postings and it's like the qualified people drew to several consecutive inside straights just to have the right buzzwords on their resume. And it's a different set of inside straights than it was six months ago. And it's different yet from firm to firm. See there how easy it is when you don't know what you're talking about? :)
