[Hiring] Power Platform Tester @i4DM

Role Description

Our team is seeking a Power Platform Tester to join our fast-growing IT-project based consulting business. We need a team member who is ready to plan, execute, and automate testing of Microsoft Power Platform solutions that support the missions of our federal customers. This is a specialized role for a tester who knows the Power Platform inside and out — from canvas and model-driven apps to Power Automate flows, Dataverse, custom connectors, and the APIs that tie them together.

The successful candidate will be a detail-oriented, inquisitive problem solver who can quickly understand business requirements and translate them into thorough, repeatable test coverage. In this fully remote role, you will:

• Validate workflows and functionality across Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse, and Azure Government.
• Build automated tests with Power Apps Test Studio, Power Apps Test Engine, and Playwright.
• Verify that every user persona sees and does exactly what their security role allows.
• Provide product owners with clear, actionable reporting on quality and readiness for release.

You will work and collaborate on a team of project managers, business analysts, developers/engineers, and QA staff within an Agile environment. As a crucial member of our team, you will also be expected to interface with client representatives, including product owners, business owners, technical leads, and solution architects.

Responsibilities

• Validate requirements by testing workflows and functionality using Power Apps (canvas and model-driven), Power Automate, Azure Government, APIs, and Dataverse.
• Develop and execute test plans, test cases, scripts, and test results that provide actionable reporting to product owners and stakeholders.
• Execute testing activities for functionality, integrations, regression, and user acceptance testing (UAT).
• Record, build, and run UI tests for canvas apps using Power Apps Test Studio and Power Fx expressions.
• Create and maintain automated test plans using Power Apps Test Engine (YAML/Power Fx test plans, connector mocking) with Playwright and the Power Platform CLI.
• Use Playwright and/or Selenium for deeper UI, browser-based, and model-driven app regression testing.
• Test custom connectors and validate Dataverse Web API endpoints using Postman or other REST clients.
• Use Power Platform Monitor to debug apps in real time and inspect network calls, formula errors, and data flow behavior.
• Test Power Automate cloud flows, including triggers, conditions, approvals, error handling, and connection behavior.
• Perform role-based persona testing to validate security roles, business units, team and field-level security, and access requirements.
• Validate functionality and data integrity during migrations from on-premises systems to cloud services.
• Document, track, prioritize, and drive resolution of defects in partnership with developers and product owners.
• Validate solution deployments across development, test, and production environments.
• Verify that applications meet Section 508 accessibility requirements.
• Participate in Agile ceremonies, including sprint planning, backlog refinement, and sprint reviews.
• Develop and maintain test documentation throughout the software development life cycle (SDLC).

• Experience testing REST APIs, custom connectors, and Dataverse Web API endpoints using Postman or similar tools.
• Experience using Power Platform Monitor to troubleshoot app behavior, network calls, and formula errors.
• Experience with role-based persona testing and security access requirements.
• Experience developing and executing test plans for functional, integration, regression, and user acceptance testing.
• Experience documenting, tracking, and managing defects in tools such as Jira or Azure DevOps.
