The Power Platform Developer designs, develops and maintains custom applications and automated workflows while adhering to established governance standards, security requirements, and performance best practices.

This role works within the enterprise’s Power Platform framework (e.g., environments, DLP policies, and ALM processes) in partnership with platform administrators and IT.

• Develop and maintain Power Platform solutions:
  Implement custom business applications using Power Apps (canvas and model-driven) and automate workflows with Power Automate, leveraging Dataverse and other data sources to streamline business processes.
• Collaborate with stakeholders:
  Work with business users to gather requirements and translate functional needs into technical specifications and Power Platform solution designs. Ensure clear communication and manage expectations throughout the development lifecycle.
• Ensure governance and best practices:
  Develop solutions in accordance with the Company’s Power Platform governance standards and Center of Excellence guidelines. Configure apps and flows to align with established data loss prevention (DLP) policies, security roles, and environment usage rules as required.
• Application lifecycle management:
  Package and deploy Power Platform solutions across development, test, and production environments using established ALM processes and deployment pipelines (e.g., Azure Dev Ops and/or the Microsoft ALM Accelerator where applicable). Maintain versioning and release notes, and coordinate deployments with platform administrators as needed.
• Performance and quality optimization:
  Identify opportunities to improve the performance and reliability of Power Platform applications and flows. Optimize apps (e.g. by refining formulas or data calls) and workflows to ensure responsive, high-quality user experiences. Monitor solution performance and proactively address any issues to maintain high availability.
• Integration and data management:
  Integrate Power Platform solutions with enterprise systems and data sources (such as Microsoft 365 services, APIs, or Azure services) as needed, ensuring proper data handling and compliance. Where appropriate, utilize existing connectors and integration patterns; experience with custom connectors or Azure Functions is a plus.
• Support and maintenance:
  Monitor released Power Platform solutions and provide ongoing support. Troubleshoot and resolve production issues or bugs in a timely manner to minimize downtime. Work closely with IT support teams and platform administrators to ensure solutions remain functional, secure, and up-to-date (including periodic Power Platform updates).
