The market is though, but you should be getting at least phone screens. I suspect that maybe there's something that could be improved in your market positioning. I have a similar amount of experience as you, and generally, ageism hasn't been a problem. Start with the basics, have someone review your resume, no need for a professional, you probably can find a few people amongst your friend able to take a look and give a few suggestions. Ex-manager, ex-colleagues, even a former recruiter that was particularly cool and you really liked. Recruiters sometimes get confused with resumes from people who can work in multiple languages and frameworks because they are not programmers. They won't understand that someone who worked with node will have an easier time understanding asyncio in python, that the way packages work in Go kind of remember the way you can write partial classes in different files in C#. They scan your resume trying to fill up a map where the keys are technologies and the values are years of experience, so, either you tailor your resume for each kind of opportunity or (better) send a cover letter expanding on your experience with the tech stack from the requirements. Also, remember that now it is a buyer's market. You need to pro-actively apply for positions to keep your pipeline full. Long are the times where you just went to sleep, to wake up in the next morning and having 6 or 7 contact requests from recruiters in your linked-in.
