SCADA Data Specialist

As a SCADA Data Specialist, you will report to the Integration Lead and play a key role in developing scalable, cloud-based solutions that optimize artificial lift performance in the oil and gas industry. In this position, you’ll serve as the bridge between field-level SCADA systems and our advanced analytics platforms, helping to shape the future of data integration and real-time decision-making.

You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams to blend SCADA data into our cloud architecture, enabling powerful insights and automation through open platform technologies. From building and refining ETL/ELT pipelines to exploring new protocols and streaming architectures, your work will be instrumental in pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in energy optimization.

Beyond technical execution, you’ll help cultivate a culture of experimentation, agility, and continuous improvement. We’re looking for someone who thrives in the Cloud, embraces open standards, and brings curiosity and initiative to the table.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Work both independently and collaboratively to deliver high-impact products to market
• Act as a key member of the data integration team, blending SCADA data and transferring it into scalable, cloud-based architectures using open platform technologies
• Design, build, and maintain robust data lake infrastructure and ETL/ELT pipelines
• Prioritize open standards and open-source solutions before evaluating proprietary tools
• Partner with software and data science teams to develop scalable, cloud-native processes for experimentation, analysis, and commercial deployment
• Drive innovation by prototyping new ideas, experimenting quickly, and incorporating fast feedback loops
• Live, breathe, and build in the Cloud
• Apply Agile methodologies—SCRUM, Kanban—to move fast and iterate efficiently

QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Software, or Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
• 2+ years of hands-on experience with SCADA and HMI systems—experience with Ignition, Cygnet, or XSPOC is a plus
• Strong understanding of SCADA communications, including client/server protocols (OPC, Modbus, TCP/IP), polling strategies, architecture, and networking technologies
• Proficient in SQL and scripting languages such as JavaScript, TypeScript, or Python
• Familiar with open communication protocols like MQTT/SparkplugB
• Experience with message queuing and stream processing tools such as RabbitMQ, Kafka, or Amazon SQS
• Knowledge of ETL/ELT best practices for scalable data integration
• Collaborative team player with experience working in Agile, cross-functional environments
• Experience using Jira and Confluence to manage tasks, track progress, and document technical workflows

• It’s in your nature to be efficient and do it really well, while you always deliver on what you promise. 
• Your strengths come from collaborating with others.
• You thrive on both technical challenges and the opportunity to develop and empower the people around you.
• Continuous learning and improvement are part of your mantra.
