Job description

Job Title: SPFx Developer/ Lead Developer - Power Platform

Location: Pan India

Role Summary

We are looking for a hands-on SPFx Lead who can own the technical delivery of custom solutions while guiding a small team of developers. You will stay close to the code, set the standards the team follows, and be the go-to person for the tricky problems that juniors escalated. This role sits between pure development and technical management, so you are expected to still build, review, and unblock.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the design and build of SPFx web parts, extensions, and Adaptive Card Extensions, and own the harder or more sensitive components yourself.
• Break down requirements into workable tasks, assign them across the team, and track technical progress against delivery timelines.
• Run code reviews, enforce coding standards, and own the ALM setup (PnP, gulp, CI/CD, App Catalog deployment).
• Mentor developers, and provide the technical KT and hands‑on guidance they need to ramp up.
• Act as the technical point of contact for functional leads and client stakeholders on solution feasibility and estimates.
• Own L2/L3 escalations for SPFx and Power Platform solutions in production, and drive root‑cause fixes rather than workarounds.
• Coordinate Power Platform work (Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse) alongside the SPFx stack so solutions hang together end to end.

Must-Have Skills

• Deep SPFx development with React, TypeScript, and the full Node/gulp toolchain, including performance and packaging concerns.
• Strong SharePoint Online architecture knowledge and mastery of PnPjs and PnP PowerShell.
• Solid Microsoft Graph, SharePoint REST/CSOM, and Entra ID app registration/permission experience.
• Power Platform delivery experience across Power Apps and Power Automate, ideally with Dataverse.
• Proven experience leading a small development team and running code reviews.
• CI/CD and Git-based ALM discipline.

Good-to-Have Skills

• Copilot Studio, Power Pages, or Power BI exposure.
• SharePoint on‑premises (2019/SPSE) for hybrid or migration contexts.
• Experience estimating and scoping work for proposals or SOWs.

Experience & Qualifications

• Typically 6 to 9 years, with at least a couple of those in a lead or senior developer capacity.
• Certifications such as MS-600, PL-400, or PL-600 are an advantage.

Soft Skills

• Comfortable being both the technical authority and the person who unblocks and mentors.
• Clear communicator who can translate between developers and non‑technical stakeholders.
