[Chicago] Cloud computing software developer at University of Chicago

[Brian Ray]

Looks like we accidentally released this to the list before Pierre
requested. That was our mistake. So just keep in mind that the club has not
reviewed the referral policy when applying. I will waive it this time in
case you are hired before they review. Go ahead and apply.
