I'm a co-founder at Catch, EN is the Goliath we are battling who gets a heck of a lot of press.
We are looking for hackers to join our team in SOMA. We have a bunch of ex-Metaweb and Googlers hacking on Android, iOS, JS (Google Closure), Python (Pylons), and MongoDB.

I was one of the founding employees and will happily answer questions or w/e -- you can post a reply or email [email protected]

The hardest part about landing a startup job right now is choosing which one to go with =)
Seriously, there are so many interesting startups popping up lately but, if the uptick in cold calls and emails are an indicator, apparently not so much of the necessary talent.
There are currently a lot of developers on the market in NYC but from the interviewing I have been assisting with, it seems to consist mostly of "lifers" (the 9-5 devs that are happy to just plod away on some big project, adding features or fixing bugs). I do not mean that in a condescending way; there is definite value in their work but it is simply not what a startup needs.

We have a crazy amount of users on Android. =)
