The Opportunity We are seeking a SharePoint Developer to build and maintain custom Microsoft 365 solutions, including SPFx web parts, Power Platform apps and flows, and API-based integrations that move data between SharePoint and downstream reporting systems. This is a hands‑on development role responsible for production code, CI/CD deployments, and translating business requirements into working software. The role is part of a small development team with broad scope across front‑end components, ETL pipelines, migrations, business partnership, and user experience.

The successful candidate will be comfortable shifting among varied technical assignments while maintaining governance, security, accessibility, and supportability standards.

• Build, test, and deploy SharePoint Framework web parts, extensions, and Adaptive Card Extensions using Type Script, React, and Fluent UI.
• Package and release solutions through Azure Dev Ops pipelines with automated linting, testing, and security scanning.
• Maintain and refactor the existing SPFx codebase; retire deprecated patterns, unsupported PnP versions, and legacy Fluent UI.
• Optimize bundle size, rendering performance, and load behavior on modern SharePoint pages.
• Develop and maintain canvas and model-driven Power Apps, Power Automate cloud flows, and Dataverse tables.
• Implement Power Platform application lifecycle management, including solution packaging, managed and unmanaged solution discipline, and environment promotion from development through production via pipelines.
• Build custom connectors when out-of-the-box connectors are insufficient.
• Instrument flows with error handling, retry logic, and alerting.
• Develop integrations using Microsoft Graph, SharePoint REST/CSOM, and third-party line-of-business APIs.
• Build scheduled and event-driven ETL processes using Azure Functions, Logic Apps, and Python or Power Shell to move SharePoint and Microsoft 365 data into reporting stores.
• Produce datasets and semantic models consumed by Power BI, and support report authors with reliable, documented sources.
• Implement Entra  registrations, certificate-based authentication, managed identities, and least-privilege Microsoft Graph permission scoping.
• Work directly with site owners across practice groups and administrative departments to gather requirements, propose solutions, and set realistic delivery expectations.
• Advise site owners on information architecture, metadata, content types, navigation, permissions, and content lifecycle within established governance standards.
• Provide training and documentation so business owners can self-manage day-to-day content without developer involvement.
• Challenge requests that conflict with governance, security, or maintainability standards and clearly explain the rationale.
• Execute migration waves from on-premises SharePoint, file shares, and legacy document management platforms into SharePoint Online and One Drive.
• Run pre-migration assessments, remediate blockers such as path length, unsupported characters, orphaned permissions, and checked-out files, and validate post-migration integrity.
• Rebuild classic customizations as supported modern equivalents.
• Use commercial migration tools, including Share Gate, AvePoint, Metalogix, and SPMT,…
