Front-End Developer/Power Platform Developer

LMI Consulting, LLC; Washington (District of Columbia); Hybrid; USD 85,000 - 105,000; Full time

Job description

Overview

LMI is seeking a Front-End Developer/Power Platform Developer to build Microsoft-native analytics, workflow, and user-facing business solutions for Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) modernization initiatives. The role delivers Power BI dashboards, Power Apps, Power Automate workflows, SharePoint solutions, and lightweight applications with strong attention to usability, accessibility, data design, and maintainability.

This position follows a hybrid work model, with an expectation of approximately 25% onsite presence at LMI's Tysons headquarters or Washington, DC.

The Front-end Developer/Power Platform Developer is a hands‑on Microsoft‑platform builder responsible for turning business processes and data needs into usable, maintainable solutions. The role spans analytics and application development, so the successful candidate should be equally comfortable shaping a data model, building a workflow, designing a form, and improving the end‑user experience.

The position requires practical judgment about platform fit and governance. A strong candidate will know how to work within enterprise environments, avoid unnecessary complexity, design for accessibility, and build solutions that can be supported after handoff rather than relying on fragile personal configurations.

Because the platform can enable rapid development, this role must know when to slow down enough to establish sound structure. The developer should actively manage data design, permissions, environment strategy, component reuse, naming, documentation, and performance so rapid solutions do not become difficult to govern or support.

The ideal candidate is a hands‑on builder who can translate stakeholder needs into clean data models, workflow logic, forms, reports, and production‑ready low‑code solutions.

LMI is a new breed of digital solutions provider dedicated to accelerating government impact with innovation and speed. Investing in technology and prototypes ahead of need, LMI brings commercial‑grade platforms and mission‑ready AI to federal agencies at commercial speed.

Leveraging our mission‑ready technology and solutions, proven expertise in federal deployment, and strategic relationships, we enhance outcomes for the government, efficiently and effectively. With a focus on agility and collaboration, LMI serves the defense, space, healthcare, and energy sectors‑helping agencies navigate complexity and outpace change. Headquartered in Tysons, Virginia, LMI is committed to delivering impactful results that strengthen missions and drive lasting value.

• Working knowledge of Microsoft 365 governance, Dataverse or SharePoint data structures, connectors/APIs, identity/permissions, accessibility, and maintainable UX patterns.
• Strong troubleshooting skills across Power BI refresh/model issues, Power Apps formulas and delegation, Power Automate failures, connector behavior, SharePoint/Dataverse permissions, and environment configuration.
• Ability to balance user requests with platform governance, maintainability, licensing, security, data architecture, and performance constraints and to explain those tradeoffs clearly.
