It depends! ... How much of your technical work is actual software development? What marketable skills have your acquired using your side project? Do you enjoy being a Sales Engineer or would you rather be a full-time developer? Are you prepared to take a salary reduction while you rebuild your profile as a developer? Small companies and startups also need sales engineers - is that an option for you? It is not your "official" titles but the demonstrable value you bring to your potential employer that counts. There many incompetent people out there with fancy titles - I wouldn't be wanting to hire any of them.
