The Railroad Commission of Texas regulates Texas's energy sector across oil, gas, pipelines, surface mining, and alternative fuels. A 16-person engineering team is actively migrating Oracle infrastructure to SQL Server and upgrading Esri geospatial systems—a shift toward cloud-native Azure services (App Service, Data Factory, SQL) while retiring legacy on-premise databases. The accelerating 35-role hiring push (dominated by mid-to-senior engineers) reflects the scale of legacy system modernization against tight regulatory compliance deadlines.

The Railroad Commission of Texas is the state agency responsible for regulating the energy industry within Texas, overseeing oil and gas operations, pipeline safety, surface mining, and alternative fuel development. The agency operates across multiple regulatory domains: well management (including a large plugging program for orphan wells under federal IIJA funding), pipeline safety evaluations and damage prevention, and UIC (underground injection control) KPI reporting. The organization maintains jurisdiction over an extensive pipeline network and manages compliance across thousands of wells. Headquartered in Austin, the agency employs 1,001–5,000 staff across engineering, operations, legal, and support functions.
Primary stack: ArcGIS, Salesforce, Azure (DevOps, SQL, Storage, App Service, Data Factory), SQL Server, Power BI, .NET, Python, JavaScript, and Oracle. Currently migrating off Oracle to SQL Server and upgrading Esri infrastructure.
Active projects include state-managed plugging programs for orphan wells, Oracle-to-SQL Server data migration, Esri server upgrades, UIC KPI reporting, pipeline safety evaluations, and plugging operations under federal IIJA funding.
