Don't market yourself as a founder. Market yourself as a former employee of your own company. Rightly or wrongly, holding yourself out as a "founder" is going to give a hiring manager the impression that you're going to be difficult to manage. Also, they might believe that your focus is going to be on your own business and not theirs.
I'm going to be brutally honest, the market sucks right now. I haven't seen it this bad since 2008. I just started a new role after 18 months of looking. And the only reason I got it is because I had someone on the inside who fast-tracked my resume to the right people. I have nearly 20 years of experience in software development, btw. I used to have to block recruiters because they would never stop calling. Now? Those recruiters all gave up and became realtors.
