• Develop reusable templates, components, and connectors to accelerate future projects.
• Ensure accessibility, usability, and responsive design across devices.

Governance & Enablement

• Establish and maintain environment strategy, data-loss-prevention (DLP) policies, and solution-lifecycle management standards.
• Implement pipelines and ALM best practices in Azure Dev Ops / Git Hub for packaging, promotion, and rollback.
• Manage permissions and connectors to enforce least-privilege and compliance with SOX / ITGC controls.
• Provide guidance and training to “citizen developers,” helping them build responsibly within approved environments.
• Maintain a catalog of certified apps and flows with clear ownership and documentation.

Integration & Data Connectivity

• Collaborate with the Integration Engineer and Data Architect to ensure data consistency and reliable API connections between Power Platform and other systems.
• Implement robust error handling, logging, and telemetry for all flows and apps.
• Participate in release planning and regression testing to validate changes across integrated environments.
• Support the creation of “gold” datasets in Fabric / Power BI for standardized reporting.

Security & Compliance

• Partner with Cybersecurity and Infrastructure teams to apply secure-by-design practices in all apps and connectors.
• Ensure identity management aligns with Entra  and least-privilege access.
• Maintain audit trails for solution changes and deployments.
• Assist in periodic access reviews and evidence collection for audit readiness.
• Mentor junior and citizen developers, promoting code quality, reusability, and documentation.
• Stay current with Microsoft roadmap updates and recommend features that add measurable value.
• Lead periodic health reviews of environments, connectors, and DLP performance.
• Capture lessons learned from each project and update standards accordingly.

Education & Work Experience

• Preferred bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Systems, or related field; equivalent practical experience accepted.
