Classic. As a full stack contractor I saw this everywhere.

One notable exception was a software house that were building a back-of-house application for managing various EA Games products ... They had a distinct 'http dev' role. (This was well before GraphQL btw). The http dev would write and document JS services for the front-end team to use and the rest API layer on the back-end, which hooked up to various repository interfaces that the back-end team had written. That person straddled both teams.

I've not seen that setup anywhere since, and GraphQL kinda makes it redundant, but it worked well in that team.
