About the job
Terabase Energy is looking for a Senior Software Developer with expertise in SCADA and Ignition platforms. This remote role, based in Farmington, New Mexico, focuses on designing and scaling software architecture and automation processes that drive the SCADA platform. The position oversees the full Ignition and Gateway software stack, including tag naming conventions, UDT structures, and the Perspective development framework. Managing version control and automated deployment is a central responsibility.
This developer builds reusable templates, standardizes data structures, and automates workflows to reduce manual engineering. The goal is to improve consistency and speed up project execution. Collaboration with SCADA Engineering is essential to ensure that project screens and customer-facing visualizations meet engineering standards and requirements.
Main responsibilities
- Lead architecture for Ignition and Gateway, setting scalable and maintainable standards across SCADA products and projects.
- Define and enforce tag naming conventions, UDT structures, dataset formats, and reusable software templates for consistent execution and data organization.
- Enhance the Perspective creation framework and development process to support efficient and high-quality visualization work.
- Establish and manage the version control repository strategy, including branch structure, release processes, code reuse, and development workflows.
- Develop and maintain automated deployment processes for Ignition, streamlining configuration and improving rollout quality and speed.
- Create frameworks and automation tools to process inputs (such as drawings, device lists, and tag lists) that generate UDTs, project configurations, and core SCADA elements.
- Maintain dataset structures and software models to support SCADA applications, reporting, integrations, and broader automation goals.
- Work closely with SCADA Engineering to align project execution with HMI screen designs and customer requirements.
- Contribute to the development of cloud SCADA and asset management features to expand product capabilities after initial deployment.
- Mentor and train junior developers and engineers on software frameworks, repository structures, coding standards, and development best practices.
- Support field and project teams by troubleshooting, improving frameworks, and resolving project-specific software issues as they arise.
