• Architect human‑in‑the‑loop automation that preserves appropriate review, approval, and professional judgment for legal and regulated workflows.
• Develop reusable solution patterns, reference architectures, and implementation standards to support scalable delivery.

• Design solutions that comply with firm policies and Microsoft 365 governance controls, including permissions, sensitivity labels, data loss prevention (DLP), and environment separation (Dev/Test/Prod).
• Partner closely with IT, Security, and Compliance to ensure solutions are production‑ready and meet security, privacy, and regulatory requirements.
• Prepare technical documentation, testing evidence, and release materials to support approval and deployment.

• Own technical quality for delivered solutions, including testing, validation, and issue remediation.
• Troubleshoot integration, data access, and workflow issues across Microsoft 365 services.
• Provide limited post‑deployment support and iteration for approved solutions.
• Support workflow‑specific user enablement through documentation, demos, and targeted guidance.
• Mentor and train a junior automation engineer over time, establishing clear build standards and best practices.

• 5‑7 years of experience in enterprise software engineering, automation, or solutions architecture.
• Demonstrated hands‑on experience with Microsoft 365 automation and extensibility, including Power Automate and SharePoint/One Drive.
• Experience designing and delivering solutions in regulated or compliance‑sensitive environments (e.g., law firm, professional services, financial services).
• Strong understanding of solution architecture principles, workflow design, and system integration.
• Ability to work independently as an individual contributor while collaborating with cross‑functional stakeholders.

• Experience with Microsoft Copilot and Copilot Studio or similar conversational/agent platforms.
• Familiarity with Microsoft Graph APIs, connectors, and identity/permission models.
• Working familiarity with Power Platform environment management and governance concepts (DLP, solution lifecycle)
• Exposure to data governance, privacy, and information‑management concepts in a legal or professional‑services context.
• Prior experience mentoring junior engineers or technical analysts.
