I'm right up your alley in the sr. dev position, can you name the company here or through PM? Private or VC funding? Not actively looking for a job but you never know.

I gave you my email address if you have more questions

Company is self sufficient (very profitable) and only took a small amount of private angel funding when it first started a couple years ago.
