Job description

Job Description Senior Ignition Developer (Industrial Data & SCADA Systems) Location: Greater Houston Area (Remote with occasional in-person for meetings/collaboration) Employment Type: Full-Time Overview A growing systems integration firm is expanding its industrial software team and is looking for a seasoned Ignition developer who can operate at a high level across design, build, and deployment. This role isn't tied to sitting at a client site day-to-day-you'll be part of a centralized engineering group driving large-scale internal initiatives for a major oil & gas portfolio. The environment is flexible.

Most work is done remotely, with periodic meetups at the Houston office for planning sessions, design reviews, or team events. If you prefer a mix of heads-down development and occasional face time, this setup works. This is not a "configure screens and move on" position.

You'll be building systems that people rely on to make real operational decisions in real time. What You'll Actually Be Doing Architecting and building Ignition-based applications from the ground up, not just maintaining legacy projects Creating intuitive HMIs and operational dashboards that translate complex process data into something usable Connecting plant-floor equipment (PLCs, RTUs, edge devices) into unified SCADA environments Writing and optimizing scripts inside Ignition to automate workflows and handle data processing Designing alarm strategies and data historian structures that don't overwhelm operators Improving performance of existing systems-faster load times, cleaner data flow, less noise Supporting deployments during commissioning phases and stepping in when things don't behave as expected Working alongside controls engineers, IT teams, and operations stakeholders to bridge the gap between OT and IT What You Need to Bring Solid background in SCADA or industrial application development (typically 3-7+ years) Real hands-on experience with Ignition (Vision, Perspective, or both-not just exposure) Working knowledge of industrial protocols like OPC UA, Modbus, MQTT, or similar Comfort working with relational databases and writing SQL queries (SQL Server, PostgreSQL, etc.) Ability to troubleshoot live systems without creating bigger problems in the process Experience supporting production environments where downtime actually matters What Sets You Apart You've built Ignition projects from scratch and can explain your design decisions You understand the difference between "it works" and "it works reliably at scale" You've worked in oil & gas, energy, or other heavy industrial environments You're comfortable owning pieces of a project without needing constant direction Work Environment & Flexibility Remote-first, with occasional trips to the Houston office for collaboration No permanent on-site client assignment-this is an internal engineering role Flexible scheduling as long as deliverables and team coordination stay on track.
