• Configure AI‑assisted workflows such as document processing, summarization, classification, and decision support.
• Support responsible AI practices, monitoring, and prompt management within governed enterprise environments.

Data & Database Integration

• Integrate Power Platform solutions with Azure SQL, SQL Server, and other data sources.
• Work with existing data models and assist in data transformations using SQL and Power Query.
• Collaborate with data engineers and senior team members on data-related requirements.

API & Custom Integration Development

• Implement integrations using custom connectors, APIs, and Azure Functions based on existing integration patterns.
• Support system‑to‑system integrations with internal and third‑party services.

Requirements & Solution Design

• Work with business stakeholders to understand requirements and implement technical solutions.
• Participate in solution design discussions and implement components based on approved architectures.
• Support testing, validation, and user acceptance activities.

Quality, Security & Compliance

• Test applications and workflows to ensure reliability and performance.
• Follow established security, governance, and deployment standards.
• Maintain documentation for applications, configurations, and integrations.

Documentation, Enablement & Support

• Assist with end‑user training, documentation, and post‑deployment support.
• Support solution handoff and knowledge transfer activities.

Qualifications

Required

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or equivalent practical experience.
• Hands‑on experience with Microsoft Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, Dataverse).
• Experience with SQL development and relational data concepts.
• Experience integrating APIs, web services, and external systems.
• Strong communication skills and attention to detail.
• Comfortable working in a client‑facing, delivery‑oriented environment.

Preferred / Nice to Have
