Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Power Platform Developer to design, build, deploy, and maintain business applications across the Microsoft Power Platform and Dataverse ecosystem — spanning low-code (Canvas/Model-Driven), pro-code (Code Apps), and custom development (plugins, PCF). The role covers the full software development lifecycle (SDLC) — from requirements and development through security configuration, testing, and multi-environment deployment.

What You Will Do

Application Development

• Design and build Canvas Apps and Model-Driven Apps based on business requirements.
• Build Code Apps using modern web frameworks (React / TypeScript), integrating with the Power Platform SDK, connectors, and Dataverse while running inside the managed Power Platform environment.
• Develop and maintain Power Automate cloud flows (and desktop flows where relevant) for process automation and integrations.
• Develop custom business logic via Dataverse plugins (C#), custom workflow activities, and Power Fx formulas.
• Create custom components (PCF controls) where standard capabilities are insufficient.

Data & Dataverse

• Design and maintain the Dataverse data model (tables, columns, relationships, keys, business rules).
• Write and optimize queries against Dataverse using SQL / CDS (Common Data Service) query patterns, FetchXML, and the TDS endpoint.
• Manage data import/export, migration, and integration with external systems.

Security & Permissions

• Configure and administer Dataverse security — security roles, business units, teams, field-level security, and hierarchy security.
• Implement least-privilege access models and troubleshoot permission-related issues.
• Apply appropriate connector authentication and API permission handling for Code Apps.

SDLC & Deployment (ALM)

• Manage solution lifecycle (ALM) using managed/unmanaged solutions.
• Handle deployments across environments (Dev → Test/QA → UAT → Prod) through the SDLC.
• Implement CI/CD pipelines (Power Platform Pipelines, Azure DevOps, or GitHub Actions) with source control for solution components and Code App source code.
• Manage build/deploy processes for Code Apps (npm/Node build tooling,pac codeCLI), environment strategy, connection references, and environment variables.

Governance & Quality

• Follow coding standards, documentation practices, and testing (unit/integration/UAT).
• Support production incidents, monitoring, and performance tuning.

What should you have

• Bachelor’s degree in information technology, Computer Science, Business Administration, Agricultural Systems, or related field, or equivalent experience

Nice-to-Have / Preferred
