DevOps Requisition:

Urban Airship is looking for DevOps/SysAdmins. We run a high capacity, fault tolerant, and horizontally scalable infrastructure. Urban Airship’s DevOps are involved in design and implementation of automation, deployment, and monitoring systems. We analyze system behavior to tease out performance gains and squash configuration issues. We help maintain healthy distributed databases, web servers, deploy the odd email/smtp server, run load tests, backup mission critical data, know when to use caching, write naming services, and are syslog masters. We’re looking to do more. Can you help us out?

Responsibilities:

Linux system administration, including configuration, troubleshooting, and automation.
Service configuration for dozens of interconnected applications on virtualized hosts, anything from web servers to databases to home grown services.

Python Engineer Take Home Project

Building Energy strives to help businesses and governments understand where energy usage occurs, and how to improve energy efficiency. Let’s look at some real-world data in a similar field; check out World Bank Data on Carbon Emissions. Click "Download Data" and select the format you want to work with, (CSV might be simplest).

Let’s build a simple application to read in this data from the commandline and sort the rows by a function applied across the columns of said rows.

We should be able to answer the following questions:

Sort countries according to the average change in carbon emissions per capita (ascending, descending, etc.).
