I think there are some big holes in the list of occupations.

Let's say you work in a place with a "microservices" architecture. You write in Java or Ruby or another language. Which occupation are you on this list?

Why is there a "backend web developer" but not "backend developer"?

What would be the front end in your example? You'd just be "a developer".

I tend to avoid jobs which self describe as backend as I have no interest in web development and my experience is if it is listed as "backend developer" that it's probably too geared towards web development for my tastes.

Well, "developer" is not even an option for occupation in this survey.
