> You’ll use the latest web standards in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and modern technologies and frameworks like Typescript, React, GraphQL, Apollo and Ruby on Rails, to develop large front-end web applications and websites that scale and perform well on all devices.

If I read this, I'd think that I'm going to be doing "modern front-end", which is usually a React SPA connected to a back-end API via REST or GraphQL. The inclusion of GraphQL and Apollo on this list does mean that I'd be surprised if my work was primarily server rendered ERB templates.

I think there's a bit of a bias here because many people on HN don't like modern front-end. Yes, yes, ERB templates are just fine. But they're not the same as a modern JS stack and if you're looking to gain expertise in a JS stack, they're clearly not helpful.
