Associate Manager - Power Apps — Power Pages & Dataverse

Avanade India

Associate Manager - Power Apps — Power Pages & Dataverse

Practice: Business Applications, Avanade India

Location: Bengaluru / Gurugram, India (Hybrid)

Experience: 9–15 years overall in application development, with strong hands‑on experience building applications on Power Apps and Power Pages, deep Dataverse knowledge and solid front‑end web development skills

Role Summary

Avanade India’s Business Applications practice is looking for a Power Apps Technical Lead to own the technical design and build of applications on the Microsoft Power Platform — with Power Pages and Dataverse at the centre of the role. This is a hands‑on lead position: you will set the technical direction, make the design calls, write the harder parts of the code yourself, and lead a team of developers through delivery.

The role is deliberately weighted towards Power Pages and front‑end engineering. We are looking for someone who is as comfortable with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Liquid as they are with a Dataverse security model — because externally facing portals are where those two worlds meet, and where most Power Platform projects run into trouble.

Key Responsibilities

As a Power Platform Consultant, you will be responsible for implementing solutions leveraging the Power Platform applications and services. Your day‑to‑day activities will include designing, developing, and deploying applications that meet client needs while collaborating closely with multiple teams to ensure seamless integration and delivery. You are expected to be a subject matter expert, managing and guiding the team to perform effectively, making key decisions, and providing solutions to challenges both within your immediate team and across multiple teams. Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Power Applications Canvas Applications and copilot studio agents is required. Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Power Automate Cloud Flows is recommended. Intermediate proficiency in Microsoft Power Apps, and Microsoft Power Applications Model‑Driven Applications is suggested. Drive the design and development of scalable and efficient Power Platform solutions that align with project goals and client requirements. Collaborate with stakeholders to gather requirements and translate them into technical specifications and actionable plans. Support and mentor team members by sharing expertise and fostering a collaborative environment to enhance overall team performance. Analyze complex problems and provide innovative solutions that improve processes and application functionality. Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives by identifying opportunities to optimize workflows and enhance user experience. Design and implement Power Apps Canvas Apps, Design and Implement Power Automate workflows. Integrating AI agents/Copilot capabilities with Canvas Apps and related Microsoft Power Platform solutions.

Required Skills & Experience

• 9–15 years of overall application development experience, with substantial recent delivery on the Microsoft Power Platform.
• Strong hands‑on experience building applications with Power Apps — model‑driven and/or canvas — taken through to production.
• Deep, demonstrable Power Pages (or Power Apps Portals) experience: web templates, Liquid, forms and lists, table and page permissions, web roles, authentication and external‑facing site delivery.
• Strong front‑end web development skills — HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (ES6+), responsive design and Bootstrap — with the ability to build custom UI rather than only configure out‑of‑the‑box components.
• Deep Dataverse expertise: data modelling, relationships, business rules, and a genuine command of the security model — roles, teams, business units, and row- and column-level security.
• Experience with the Dataverse Web API and REST integration patterns, including authentication and error handling.
• Server‑side development capability in C#/.NET — plug‑ins, custom APIs and custom workflow activities.
• Experience with Power Apps Component Framework (PCF) and TypeScript for custom control development.
• Solid ALM discipline: solution management, environment strategy, source control (Git) and automated or repeatable deployments.
• Proven experience as a technical lead — owning design decisions, running code reviews, guiding developers and being accountable for technical quality on an engagement.
• Ability to work directly with clients and functional teams, explain technical trade‑offs clearly, and push back constructively where needed.
• Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills across the full stack — browser, portal runtime, Dataverse and integrations.

Preferred / Good to Have

• Microsoft certifications: PL-400 (Power Platform Developer), PL-600 (Solution Architect) or PL-200.
• Experience with modern JavaScript frameworks (React, Angular or Vue) and build tooling.
• Experience delivering high‑traffic or public‑facing portals, including SEO, CDN and caching considerations.
• Familiarity with Azure services that commonly support Power Platform solutions — Azure Functions, API Management, Key Vault, Service Bus or Azure AD B2C for portal authentication.
• Experience with Dynamics 365 first‑party apps built on Dataverse.
• Accessibility experience — WCAG 2.1/2.2 conformance and assistive‑technology testing.
• Experience with automated testing for Power Platform solutions (unit tests for plug‑ins, UI test automation).
• Experience in a global delivery / SI environment working with distributed teams.
• Prior contribution to reusable components, frameworks or practice accelerators.Associate Manager
