This role sits at the intersection of beautiful interface design and functional low-code/cloud development.

  • Create wireframes, mockups, and interactive prototypes to visualize complex data structures and AI-driven workflows simply.
  • Establish design consistency and accessibility guidelines across all digital products built for the contract.
• Front-End Development & Integration:
  • Build highly functional applications using Microsoft Power Apps (Canvas and Model-Driven), custom components (PCF controls), and Power Automate workflows.
  • Extend low-code platforms with traditional front-end code (HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript/TypeScript) to deliver tailored, premium user interfaces.
  • Collaborate closely with data developers to seamlessly bind backend Azure SQL data and AI endpoints to the front-end user experience.
• Accessibility & Compliance:
  • Ensure all designs and developed interfaces strictly comply with federal Section 508 accessibility standards.

Qualifications

• Minimum of 8–10 years in front-end software development or UI/UX design, with at least 3 years working inside the Microsoft Power Platform ecosystem.

• Advanced hands-on experience building custom, high-fidelity applications inside Microsoft Power Apps and Power Automate.
• Strong proficiency in modern front-end technologies including JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML5, and CSS/SASS.
• Experience with modern prototyping tools (e.g., Figma, Adobe XD) to build and present UI concepts.
• Proven experience building compliant, accessible interfaces for federal or public sector applications.
• Ability to clear a federal background investigation to obtain a DOI Public Trust clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience supporting the Department of the Interior (DOI) or other federal agencies.
• Experience designing interfaces specifically meant to display complex data visualizations, dashboards, or AI/ML search results.
• Microsoft certifications (e.g., Power Platform Developer Associate, Power Platform Functional Consultant).
