Russian term or phrase: верстальщик
Based on one of my past Kudoz questions, for the purpose of my translation вёрстка means HTML markup
(see http://www.proz.com/kudoz/russian_to_english/internet_e_comm...

So верстальщик is the person doing this work. What would the profession of someone who does this work be called? I have thought of "HTML validator" but my searches indicate that this term is only used for a machine that does this, not a person. It's not referring to a Web designer as this is already listed separately in the text.

The context:
Именно контент лежит в основе технических заданий для веб дизайнера, верстальщика и программиста.

I've just got my hands on more useful information, this time straight from the source. I'll add a note here rather than posting a brand new answer.

In the software development company I work for, this job is done by Front-end Developers. This term is more accurate and specific than simply Web Developers, whose job may and typically does include more than верстка.

Interestingly, the alignment of the English and Russian Wikipedia pages for these terms confirms that they are (almost) equivalent:

https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Вёрстка_веб-страниц

While HTML markup is what this person is tasked with daily, 'front end developer' is what their job title would probably say.

Explanation:
This is the term used by ABBYY in some bilingual materials they once sent me, for what it's worth. But I think several of the other options proposed are fine. As Mikhail says, they're borrowed from the printing industry.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi Mikhail, I don't think it's referring to DTP but rather to websites. I was thinking of HTML developer or HTML coder as possible job titles, but I'm not totally sure.

Asker: Thanks Mikhail for this great new information! I asked the client about верстальщик and he said that this person's job is HTML markup specialist. I have also heard front-end developer used in English. I'm not sure which of this terms would be easier for an average audience (not IT experts) to understand.
