Location: New York City and NYC metropolitan area
Remote: Probably not, but if it was a really good match, I would consider it
Willing to relocate: No (I would not relocate without working remotely first for some months. I would consider it if things were going well, but the only place I would relocate to is the SF Bay area)
Technologies: Android programmer. Standard Java/Dalvik side, but also extensive NDK (C/C++) work. Lots of work porting C, C++ and Java programs and libraries over, including OpenGL and OpenGLES (not Objective C though).
Not my main focus, but I am good with SEO or whatever it is called for Google Play as well. I am currently bouncing between #8 and #9 for the word "books" in the USA ( https://play.google.com/store/search?q=books&c=apps ), I was #2 once upon a time, but Amazon, Nook, Audible and other well-funded companies have pushed me and my little old book app down to #8/#9. I'm pretty good at this Play SEO stuff - the book app was downloaded over 6 million times, and its ad budget has only ever come out of its profits.
Lately I have been doing the server-side work REST/database work for the Android apps as well. I used to do this stuff in Perl, and have been using Python more recently. People keep pulling me back to Perl though. Android is my main focus though.
Also my former career was as a Unix systems administrator going back to the dot-com days, so I can set up a VPS in my sleep (I have set up EC2 instances as well), or if needed, even an actual server! Plus set up standard services - RHEL/Debian/Ubuntu OS, Linux/Apache/MySQL/Python-Perl-PHP configuration, BIND/DNS, IMAP, Postfix/exim/qmail/sendmail, nagios, MySQL etc. Again, Android is now my main focus.
Résumé/CV: From 1997 to 2009 I worked as a Unix systems administrator in everywhere from high flying IPO'ing dot-com startups to investment banks and Fortune 1000 companies.
From 2009 on I have been concentrating on programming, and from 2011 on I have been concentrating on Android programming.

Preferences: The ideal would be you just were series A funded, for the interview I would be talking to a technical person and then other IT people to see if I was a technical/cultural/goal fit for the position, if you want I would talk to the designer or business logic people or whatnot. Then if it was going good, you'd say you strongly want to bring me in, and then I'd talk to HR or maybe the big boss or whatnot.
What I would not prefer is a Fortune 500 company or large company where hiring is a long, convoluted, bureaucratic process of me filling out forms and talking to HR for hours and giving them phone numbers of my last three former bosses etc. before ever talking to someone in IT about whether I'm a fit for the position or not. Or have some recruiter call me, and then they want me to come in to meet them even though there is no position they currently want to send me out to. I have no desire to waste my time on these types of things.
