So, my company is not in the Chicago area but we are a startup with a decent web presence (ecommerce/pharmacy/brick and mortor shipping/data science) and we have a whole back end team. I'm the manager of the front end engineering team (50% swift/Java, 50% JavaScript very little html/css since we use react.js and are porting existing ext.js) and the backend team writes a ton of rest api's, message queue processors, scheduled processes, and integrates with a bunch of third party api's. We also have a healthy and growing data science team. Point being don't write off a place just because it looks mostly web based. As a side note if you want to move to Portland Maine, contact me I might have a cool place for you to work. :)
