[Hiring] Power Platform Engineer @NewGen

Role Description

Help cross-functional teams turn ideas into working Microsoft-based solutions, quickly. These teams come from different institutes and centers, and their use cases are typically in the medical research or public health space, for internal or external audiences. Most of them have no engineering resources of their own, so you will take a user story, shape it into a buildable requirement, and get a working prototype in front of them fast, using Power Platform as your primary toolset and the wider Microsoft 365 ecosystem around it.

Our Partner is looking for someone who can move quickly in small, focused blocks of time and make real progress each week. Collaborate with client leads, business operators, fellow consultants, and the Partner project team, while working closely with end client staff and scientists. This role offers the chance to make a measurable impact on scientific discovery and public health, build real tools that real teams use, not just demos that sit on a shelf, and operate at the intersection of health, data, and AI in a creative, mission-driven environment.

While this position is remote, candidates must be based in the US. They are also required to complete a full background check if selected.

Responsibilities

• Translate user stories from non-technical end client teams into clear technical requirements and acceptance criteria
• Rapidly build working prototypes in Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse, and Copilot Studio to validate use cases and accelerate stakeholder buy-in
• Hand off validated prototypes with documented requirements, business logic, and known limitations to the team responsible for production deployment and ongoing support
• Assemble creative builds across Microsoft connectors, custom connectors, and data pipelines, including SharePoint, Teams, and M365 Copilot
• Determine business logic with the people who will actually use the tool, and document the decisions behind it
• Find ways to add value beyond what was asked for, such as automation, reporting, or smarter routing, without overbuilding
• Implement safety guardrails in agentic workflows, including human-in-the-loop approvals, scoped data access, and clear escalation paths
• Deliver short 'knowledge sessions' so teams understand what was built and can keep using and extending it
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams across federal agencies and supporting partners

Requirements

• US Citizenship
• Must pass a background check
• Hands-on Copilot Studio experience building agents, connecting them to organizational data, and implementing approvals, scoped data access, and failure handling
• Deep, hands-on Microsoft Power Platform experience: Power Apps (canvas and model-driven), Power Automate cloud flows, and Dataverse. General low-code exposure is not sufficient
• Strong command of connectors: standard, premium, and custom connectors, plus HTTP and API integration when a connector doesn't exist
• Solution lifecycle management in Power Platform: environments, solutions, source control, and moving builds from dev to production
• Demonstrated rapid prototyping: comfortable going from a rough idea to a working demo in days, and clear about what to cut to get there

Desired Skills

• Microsoft 365 ecosystem
• SharePoint (lists, libraries, permissions, and as a data layer for Power Platform apps)
• Microsoft Teams (apps, bots, and workflows built into Teams)
• Microsoft 365 Copilot experience, including extending it with agents
• Power Platform governance: DLP policies, role-based access, and working within a Center of Excellence approach
• Experience in federal environments, including GCC tenants and alignment with NIST AI RMF and end client requirements
• Power BI, Azure integration (Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Foundry, Logic Apps), or Python and SQL for the cases where low-code isn't enough
• Accessibility (Section 508) awareness for public-facing or federal tools
• Background or experience in biomedical, bioinformatics, or life sciences
• Strong communication skills
