My current job is rather jack-of-all-trades -- my company just hired its
tenth employee and I'm one of five developers.  We don't have any
sysadmins, so all devs do double-duty or more (I also do a lot of
front-line support, as do most of the devs).  The skills needed for a
developer in my company include:

Python
Linux sysadmin
SQL
HTML
JavaScript
Java

The HTML and JavaScript are mostly embedded in our ancient and somewhat
homebrewed web templating system.  There's also some ColdFusion.
Overall, to the extent that I spend my time programming rather than
support or QA or sysadmin or docs -- it's about 70% Python/SQL, 20%
templating, and 10% other stuff.
