Your responsibilities:
Architecture & Design
•Define target and transition architectures for Power Platform solutions across canvas & model-driven apps, Power Pages, Dataverse, custom connectors, and Copilot Studio bots.
•Establish reference architectures and reusable patterns for role-based security, data design, integration, eventing, and observability.
•Lead architecture reviews, threat modeling, and solution design approvals; produce HLD/LLD, sequence diagrams, deployment topologies, and data models.
Integration & Data
•Architect secure integrations with Azure services (Functions, Logic Apps, Service Bus, API Management, Event Grid), M365, and line-of-business systems via custom connectors.
•Optimize Dataverse schema, relationships, and performance; manage large datasets, virtual tables, and row-level security.
•Ensure data quality, telemetry, and Power BI analytics alignment with semantic models and governance.
Delivery Leadership
•Guide fusion teams (citizen devs + pro devs) with standards, code reviews, and hands-on coaching.
•Work with product owners to translate business outcomes into platform capabilities and technical backlog items.
•Manage solution risk, cost, timeline, and NFRs (scalability, performance, reliability, supportability).
Platform Enablement & CoE
•Establish and evolve the Power Platform CoE: standards, accelerators, templates, guardrails, and training paths.
•Drive adoption, evangelize best practices, and manage demand intake with transparent prioritization.
•Maintain platform roadmap and lifecycle (feature evaluation, preview tracking, deprecation planning).
Operations & Support
•Define support model, SLAs, and runbooks; ensure robust monitoring/logging (Azure Monitor, Dataverse telemetry, Application Insights).
•Govern service accounts, connectivity, license posture, and cost optimization.
•Own incident/problem management for platform-related issues and coordinate with vendor support.
