I am doing freelance work, so here's that perspective: you CAN actually find Node.js backend jobs. Rebuild APIs, create MongoDB/Node.js backends for mobile devices, things like that.
Of course, most will expect you to do a bit of a frontend, but most of Rails jobs will, too (from what I've seen), so you'll have to get on the train eventually. Small companies and small teams will mostly look for a mixed front/backend work though, yes.
