Job Description
Role purpose: Clients are rapidly exploring AI-assisted experiences and automation. You’ll prototype and iterate multiple proofs of concept (POCs) using Microsoft Copilot Studio and Power Platform with proper ALM, testing and governance. You’ll guide developers day-to-day, liaise with product owners, and keep delivery moving — all while staying deep in the code and configuration.
Key responsibilities
* Design, build and iterate POCs with Copilot Studio and Power Platform (topics, orchestration, connectors, prompts, security); validate value quickly with stakeholders and progress winning POCs toward production-ready solutions.
* Have in-depth understanding of SharePoint / M365 (lists, libraries, site structure, permissions) and guide use case development.
* Own technical quality in a light-touch lead capacity: set standards, perform code/solution reviews, mentor developers, and unblock delivery — without heavy line management overhead.
* Apply ALM and DevOps for the Power Platform (environments, pipelines, solution packaging, deployment, versioning).
* Implement testing strategies and non-functional requirements (performance, security, accessibility).
* Integrate with APIs/third-party services; contribute to patterns for secure connector usage and custom connector development.
* Work in Agile client teams, partnering with Product Owners to refine requirements and sequence work.
* Document and knowledge-transfer: produce pragmatic documentation and handover materials for client teams.
Qualifications
* Hands-on expertise with Power Platform: significant experience (generally 5+ years) delivering solutions with Power Apps and Power Automate.
* Copilot Studio experience building copilots (topics, generative answers, actions), connecting to data and services, and applying responsible AI & security controls.
* SharePoint configuration proficiency (lists, content types, permissions, governance) and integration with Power Platform.
* ALM & DevOps: environment strategy, solution layering, pipelines (e.g., Azure DevOps) for CI/CD, and backlog/work tracking.
* Testing mindset with tools and approaches suited to Power Platform solutions.
* Understanding and application of non-functional requirements (performance, security, resilience, accessibility).
* Agile delivery & stakeholder skills: clear communication, requirement refinement, and pragmatic decision-making in client squads.
Nice to have
* Development fundamentals with Microsoft stack (.NET/C#/TypeScript), API integration, and data stores (Dataverse, SQL, SharePoint).
* Dynamics 365 (CE) experience.
* Microsoft certifications (e.g., PL-900/100/200/400/500/600).
* Power BI exposure (reports, embedding) and Azure Integration Services (Functions, Service Bus, Logic Apps).
