[Hiring] Senior Lead Power Platform Developer @Datafin IT Recruitment

Role Description

Our client is currently seeking a Senior Power Platform Developer. This role sits at the point where the Microsoft 365 estate, the Power Platform, and conversational AI meet. You will design and build business applications on Power Apps and Power Automate, and you will design and ship the agents that sit on top of them in Copilot Studio. They are looking for someone who thinks in terms of enterprise architecture rather than individual applications. The work involves:

• Deciding where a process belongs.
• Determining which parts of the Microsoft 365 and Azure stack should carry it.
• Understanding how data flows between them.
• Governance of the solution once it is live.

Building the solution is a large part of the job, but so is the reasoning that precedes it. Copilot Studio is a central skillset for this position, not a peripheral one. A meaningful share of their current pipeline work involves agents that act on enterprise data and trigger real business processes, and they need someone who has taken that kind of work into production rather than only through a proof of concept.

Qualifications

• Enterprise architecture
• Microsoft 365
• Microsoft Power Platform
• Power Apps, both canvas and model driven
• Power Automate, including cloud flows and desktop flows
• Copilot Studio, including agent design, knowledge grounding, actions and deployment
• Dataverse data modelling and security
• Power Fx
• Application lifecycle management and CI/CD for the Power Platform

Requirements

• Design and enterprise architecture
• Assess business processes and decide what belongs in the Power Platform, Microsoft 365, Azure, and what should not be built at all.
• Define environment strategy across development, test, and production.
• Design the data model, starting with Dataverse tables, relationships, business rules, and calculated columns.
• Define the security model, covering Dataverse security roles, business units, teams, column level security, and hierarchy security.
• Set and enforce data loss prevention policies, connector governance, and tenant level guardrails.
• Advise clients on licensing and capacity.
• Design, build, and deploy custom agents in Copilot Studio.
• Author topics and conversational flows.
• Ground agents in enterprise knowledge.
• Build actions that let agents do work.
• Implement authentication correctly.
• Deploy agents across the right channels.
• Test, evaluate, and improve agent behaviour over time.
• Apply responsible AI practice.
• Extend agents into Microsoft 365 Copilot where appropriate.
• Build canvas applications with well-structured Power Fx.
• Build model driven applications on Dataverse.
• Develop custom components with the Power Apps Component Framework.
• Design interfaces that people will actually use.
• Build cloud flows for approvals, integration, scheduled processing, and event-driven automation.
• Build desktop flows for robotic process automation.
• Develop custom connectors for internal and third-party APIs.
• Apply error handling, retry policy, concurrency control, and monitoring.
• Integrate solutions with SharePoint Online, Teams, Exchange, and OneDrive.
• Use Microsoft Graph where the platform connectors fall short.
• Integrate with Azure services.
• Manage solutions properly, including managed and unmanaged solution strategy.
• Build deployment pipelines using Power Platform pipelines or Azure DevOps.
• Maintain documentation that allows a client team to take ownership after handover.
• At Lead level, own the technical direction of an engagement.

Benefits

• Relevant Microsoft certifications.
• Experience establishing or running a Power Platform Centre of Excellence.
