[Chicago] Job: Python guru Lead Engineer/Architect for a Social Good Analytics Startup

[John Kyle Cronan]

Just wanted to say that Rayid was my boss when I worked with the Obama
campaign last fall, and it was my pleasure and honor working with him. He's
really generous with his truly vast knowledge of analytics. Edgeflip has
got a great team going. So this is the real deal, where the people running
the biz really know what's up!
