Where's the option for "I'm a full-stack developer who does whatever is necessary to ship the product"?

I've been doing backend algorithms for the last few weeks. Before then, it was quantitative market research. Before then was Fireworks & HTML mockups and whiteboard brainstorming. Before then was filing patents on previous work. Go back to last summer and I was a frontend dev for GFiber, largely doing someone else's mocks. Late spring was more unstructured data mining & machine-learning stuff, and early spring was more Fireworks mocks, quick HTML demos, and product brainstorming.
