Universal industrial application platform for SCADA, IIoT, and MES
Inductive Automation builds Ignition, a cross-platform industrial software stack that consolidates SCADA, HMI, IIoT, and MES workloads into a single runtime. The tech foundation (Java, Kotlin, React, Kubernetes, Docker) reflects a mature, polyglot engineering org; current hiring is heavily weighted toward senior engineers and sales roles, with active work on custom UI extensions, integrator network expansion, and advanced reporting—signaling a shift toward deeper platform customization and channel-partner scaling.
