Full stack roles often show up in small teams, where one person can take a feature from the interface to the database. That takes autonomy and the ability to handle several contexts without losing clarity.
When you apply, be specific about your strengths. Saying you have more depth in frontend or backend and can work on the other side is more credible than presenting yourself as an expert in everything.
