[TriLUG] old, but following up -- Re: Jobs in HPC and AWS design at Syngenta

[Mark R. Biggers via TriLUG]

Hi Sean:

You and I were emailing about these jobs, a few days before I did my 2nd trip

Were you able to and how did the Positions get filled?

Hope all is OK, I sometimes check things on Facebook....

Best,
----mark
