Hey David,
I happen to be a baseball-fanatic technology recruiter (I’ll likely be at the meetup in Chicago this week)… I can’t personally help you with that opening because I’m in the Chicago market rather than NYC. As I’m sure you’re aware, it’s a tough job to fill. I have no idea if you’re open to working with a recruiter but — should you become open to it — the top headhunter in my company happens to work in the NYC market. You’re welcome to drop me a line if you’re interested? Not exactly sure how to get you contact info here but I’ll check back.
*Full-time telecommuting available under the right circumstances.
The Chicago market might still be relevant.
True enough, thanks!
I’m probably going to submit my information for this tonight. I’m a software engineer who has been focusing on mobile development, and web development (though not necessarily mobile web) for the last couple of years and this sounds like a lot of fun. Lots of pretty cool technologies listed there.
I have 2 or 3 friends in my network that meets your requirements for the specified job. I will try to forward this post like to them so that they can contact you as soon as possible.
