Job Openings

We are a solutions and software company that addresses a variety of energy conservation, operations, and billing problems for large commercial/institutional facilities. We're a small, young company with a product that kicks butt and has been in production for four years. We have customers that you've actually heard of, understand their business problems (sometimes better than they do), and keep getting increasing amounts of industry recognition and validation.

We have multiple contract positions currently open, each with the potential for additional follow-on work or conversion to full-time positions. Please review the descriptions below, and apply only if you have the requisite background. This is a chance to work on something that really matters, helping to deliver solutions to today's energy crisis, rather than working for yet another software company. Direct applicants only, we’re not interested in outsourcing or accepting applicants from agencies. Local candidates only.

Data Collection Czar / .Net Programmer

Our business runs on data—just take a look around the Web site. We collect thousands of data points, every 15 minutes, from our customers' building automation systems, meters, and a few other sources. We're looking for someone who can own the data collection function. This includes new customer installations, working with customers' IT departments to establish remote access, establishing data collection from their systems into our SQL Server database, and maintaining the data flow. You need to understand that while this requires strong technical knowledge, this is a business function. Data is the lifeblood of the company and you're going to control the blood supply..

We're an all-Microsoft development shop, so the more fluent you are in Microsoft's tools, the better. A strong understanding of SQL Server (although you don't need to be a database designer, we've done that already) is a must.

"Must Have" Experience
  • Data collection/communications technologies: OPC, BACnet, Modbus, etc.
  • Networking, IP, COM, VPN, firewall, and solid knowledge of how corporate networks and security works
  • Customer communications skillss
  • C#
  • Visual Studio
  • XML, HTML, JavaScript
"Highly Desired" Experience (i.e. puts you at the top of the list)
  • OWC
  • ADO.Net, ASP.Net
"Nice to Have" Experience
  • SharePoint
  • Drums, keyboards, or vocals (we already have two guitarists & a bass player)

You will interact with our CTO, head of development, and development staff, but will largely work independently. To start, this is a 3-4 month contract. (Being a musician doesn't really affect your chances of being hired, but adds a dimension of fun.)

If you have a strong understanding of data communications, SQL Server and .Net, a meticulous and logical approach to solving problems, fit in well and work well independently, then please respond ASAP to resumes@intdatsys.comm. This is an opportunity to test your mettle and be in charge of your own future.
