Well, what do you want to be working on?

If you want to go back to systems development, you can try to take a backdoor route by getting a job at a hardware company doing services development and gradually switch over to a systems development role. There are IoT companies, there are industrial and business equipment manufacturers who make things that need to be cloud enabled (e.g. barcode scanners), there are small consumer electronics companies (e.g. Sonos), etc. They're rare but non-web jobs are out there.
