I think the distinction between all these terms is becoming annoying and unnecessary. A Web Developer or Web Engineer if you will, is the correct term for either Fron-End or Back-end. What used to be the "web designer" is a "UI/UX designer" nowadays which is fine I guess, but IMO a "web designer" that doesn't know at least HTML and CSS is no longer useful in the industry today. PSD2HTML is not the standard anymore. Don't worry about the job description, if you think you're skilled for the job just apply anyway and lie about the stuff you don't know but you think you can learn. The problem with these job descriptions is that they're written by HR people that just copy/paste keywords and call it a day. Just make sure to put as many keywords as you can (in a smart fashion), because most of the entries will be processed by a computer first before reaching an actual human, at least on big companies.
