Man, there're so many opportunities to reverse engineer the front-end. One example is the web scraping of a SPA without using a browser. Let's say [reverse-engineering Google Maps pagination][1][2].
People on /r/webscraping are constantly asking about web scraping of JS-rendered websites. As a front-end engineer, you have the experience of front-end debugging and using the browser dev tools.
