Job description

GZA is seeking a Power Platform & Copilot Developer to build practical business solutions using Microsoft Power Platform, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, and related Microsoft technologies. Working with Information Technology, business leaders, technical professionals, and subject matter experts, this role will turn business needs into secure, supportable applications, workflows, automations, data solutions, and AI-enabled agents.

The successful candidate will combine hands‑on development skills with sound business judgment and strong communication. The role requires the ability to simplify loosely defined problems, design appropriate solutions, and carry work through development, testing, deployment, documentation, support, and continuous improvement.

Primary Responsibilities

• Design, develop, test, deploy, and maintain solutions using Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, Dataverse, SharePoint, Microsoft Lists, and related technologies.
• Build canvas and model-driven applications, cloud flows, dashboards, reusable components, and integrations that improve business and project processes.
• Develop and configure Microsoft 365 Copilot and Copilot Studio agents and connect them appropriately to GZA information, processes, and systems.
• Work with stakeholders to understand business needs, simplify processes before automating them, and translate requirements into practical solution designs.
• Create prototypes and proofs of concept, gather user feedback, and refine solutions through iterative development.
• Integrate solutions with Microsoft 365, Teams, SharePoint, SQL-based systems, application programming interfaces, and other enterprise data sources.
• Help modernize spreadsheet-, database-, email-, and other manual processes when Power Platform is an appropriate alternative.
• Follow GZA standards for security, privacy, data governance, AI governance, environment management, data access, and application lifecycle management.
• Maintain appropriate separation among development, testing, and production solutions and document applications, workflows, agents, integrations, data dependencies, and support requirements.
• Collaborate with GZA Power Platform and Copilot resources, support lower‑complexity citizen‑development efforts, and provide training and knowledge transfer.
• Participate in solution reviews and help develop reusable standards, patterns, and practices.
• GZA emphasizes a One Company environment, and team members may be asked to assist with work outside their primary responsibilities.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in information technology, computer science, data analytics, engineering, business systems, or a related discipline, or equivalent relevant professional experience.
• Approximately three or more years of experience developing applications, automation, data solutions, or related business technology solutions preferred.
• Demonstrated experience developing business solutions with Microsoft Power Platform, including practical experience with several of the following: Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, Dataverse, SharePoint, Microsoft Lists, Teams, and Microsoft 365.
• Experience translating business requirements into applications, workflows, agents, data models, and integrations.
• Understanding of business process automation, structured data, workflow design, and integration across multiple data sources.
• Strong analytical, problem‑solving, documentation, organizational, and communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively with technical and nontechnical colleagues and manage multiple priorities.

Preferred Experience

• Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, AI agents, or other generative AI‑enabled business solutions.
• Application programming interfaces, custom connectors, JSON, SQL, relational data concepts, or Azure services supporting Power Platform and AI solutions.
• Power Platform governance, environment management, data policies, application lifecycle management, and Microsoft Center of Excellence concepts and tools.
• Python or another development language.
• Microsoft certifications or formal training related to Power Platform, Azure, or Copilot technologies.
• Engineering, environmental consulting, professional services, or another project‑based organization.
• Collaboration with interrelated professionals who provide high‑level expertise on complex projects.
• Professional development and enrichment programs.
• Opportunities for company ownership, financial growth, and career advancement.
• Generous, company‑subsidized benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, and 401(k) retirement plan.

The base salary for this position may range between $90,000-100,000. The actual base salary and total compensation will depend on many factors, including location, candidate experience, education, professional licensure, and other qualifications.
