Qualifications

• Significant hands-on experience developing production applications using Microsoft Power Platform.
• Strong understanding of relational data modeling within Dataverse.
• Practical experience administering SharePoint Online sites.
• Experience delivering solutions that use Power Platform Premium capabilities.
• Strong practical experience administering SharePoint Online sites, including permissions, site configuration, and operational support.
• Ability to work directly with senior subject matter experts – economists, policy analysts, attorneys, and program staff – to develop requirements and designs; skill at uncovering underlying business needs, which may require significant effort to surface.
• Experience collaborating with technical leads, project managers, and business stakeholders in structured delivery environments.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem‑solving skills in complex application scenarios.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop Dataverse-backed Power Platform applications.
• Plan and execute data migration from SharePoint lists to Dataverse.
• Support day-to-day SharePoint operational needs while modernization efforts are underway.
• Plan and execute data migration from SharePoint lists and libraries into Dataverse, including data validation, transformation, and reconciliation.
• Modernize business processes by replacing SharePoint‑centric workflows with Power Automate flows and app‑driven interactions.
• Identify and address technical debt or architectural limitations during migration, rather than performing one‑for‑one rewrites of legacy solutions.
• Design and build Power Platform Premium solutions, including canvas apps and/or model‑driven apps, based on solution needs.
• Implement business logic using Power Automate, Dataverse rules, and application‑level logic.
• Apply role‑based access controls using Dataverse security roles and application permissions.
• Package, version, and deploy solutions using Power Platform ALM practices.
• Use Microsoft Graph or HTTP actions selectively within Power Automate or applications when platform connectors do not meet functional requirements; this does not include designing or maintaining custom integration services.
• Troubleshoot and resolve application issues across development, testing, and production environments.
• Develop basic operational reports and dashboards using Power BI over Dataverse‑backed application data to support reporting, monitoring, and transparency needs.
• Provide ongoing SharePoint Online site administration in support of in‑scope business solutions, representing a significant but non‑dominant portion of the role.
• Perform routine site administration tasks, including permissions management, site configuration, list and library maintenance, and troubleshooting.
• Support business users and stakeholders with day‑to‑day SharePoint operational needs while modernization efforts are underway.
• Assist with site cleanup, rationalization, and transition activities as solutions are migrated to Power Platform applications.
• Coordinate closely with SharePoint stakeholders and technical leadership to ensure continuity, stability, and alignment with modernization objectives.
• Collaborate with the technical lead and project manager to refine functional and technical requirements; participate in requirements elicitation sessions, technical discovery, and solution design discussions.

Job description

Sr Applications Developer/Engineer/Programmer (Sr Power Platform Developer)

Contract Performance Period : March 9, 2026 - December 31, 2026

Job Location : Washington, DC - Onsite presence is required during the initial onboarding and ramp‑up period (approximately 6 to 8 weeks) with transition to teleworking following successful onboarding at Client location(s) in Washington, DC.

Direct Hire : Term: through 31/12/2026, with the possibility of extension.

Pay Range : Depending on Experience.

Travel Requirements : Washington, DC – Onsite presence required during initial onboarding and ramp‑up period (6–8 weeks) with transition to teleworking thereafter.

Project Description : We are seeking two Senior Power Platform Developers to lead the migration of legacy solutions into clean, model‑driven Power Apps backed by Dataverse, and to take on a backlog of applications that could not be built in SharePoint due to platform technical limitations. This is hands‑on, end‑to‑end work: data modeling, application development, process automation, Power BI dashboards, and paginated reports. Existing SharePoint environments will stay running during the transition, and ongoing site administration will remain part of the job, though at a scale appropriate for a division of about 100 people. The DCCA IT section is small; Developers, BAs, PMs, and QAs are not separate functions here – they are roles the same people fill depending on what the work requires. That means real ownership and direct engagement with the mission, and it means these developers will work face‑to‑face with economists, examiners, and attorneys who use these systems. Those conversations require more than technical skill. The people on the other side of the table are not IT professionals, but they are sophisticated – they know their domain with precision. The core competency is developing a strong understanding of business needs, not eliciting basic technical requirements.

Qualification Requirements :

• Significant hands‑on experience developing production applications using Microsoft Power Platform, with a strong emphasis on Dataverse.
• Demonstrated experience in modernizing or migrating SharePoint Online solutions into Dataverse‑backed Power Apps and Power Automate workflows.
• Strong understanding of relational data modeling and its practical application within Dataverse.
• Experience delivering solutions that use Power Platform Premium capabilities.
• Strong practical experience administering SharePoint Online sites, including permissions, site configuration, and operational support.
• Ability to work directly with senior subject matter experts – economists, policy analysts, attorneys, and program staff – to develop requirements and designs; skill at uncovering underlying business needs, which may require significant effort to surface.
• Experience collaborating with technical leads, project managers, and business stakeholders in structured delivery environments.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem‑solving skills in complex application scenarios.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience developing both canvas apps and model‑driven apps.
• Familiarity with Power Platform application lifecycle management and solution packaging.
• Prior experience working within a U.S. federal government environment (helpful but not required).
• Experience supporting testing efforts, including UAT coordination and defect remediation.
• Familiarity with Microsoft 365 integration patterns (Teams, Outlook, SharePoint).
• US citizenship is required.

Skills Requirements :

Senior‑Level Expectations

• Independently design complete application solutions from problem statement through implementation.
• Balance application development and operational responsibilities without sacrificing delivery quality.
• Identify technical risks, tradeoffs, and data modeling concerns early and communicate them clearly.
• Make informed design decisions within established platform constraints and technical oversight.
• Provide informal mentoring and technical guidance through collaboration and example.

Responsibilities :

• Design, develop, and deliver Dataverse‑backed Power Platform applications that replace or substantially refactor existing SharePoint Online sites, lists, libraries, and workflows.
• Analyze legacy SharePoint solutions to understand data structures, business rules, permissions models, and operational dependencies.
• Independently design Dataverse data models, including tables, relationships, constraints, and security roles, aligned to business requirements and long‑term maintainability.
• Plan and execute data migration from SharePoint lists and libraries into Dataverse, including data validation, transformation, and reconciliation.
• Modernize business processes by replacing SharePoint‑centric workflows with Power Automate flows and app‑driven interactions.
• Identify and address technical debt or architectural limitations during migration, rather than performing one‑for‑one rewrites of legacy solutions.
• Design and build Power Platform Premium solutions, including canvas apps and/or model‑driven apps, based on solution needs.
• Implement business logic using Power Automate, Dataverse rules, and application‑level logic.
• Apply role‑based access controls using Dataverse security roles and application permissions.
• Package, version, and deploy solutions using Power Platform ALM practices.
• Use Microsoft Graph or HTTP actions selectively within Power Automate or applications when platform connectors do not meet functional requirements; this does not include designing or maintaining custom integration services.
• Troubleshoot and resolve application issues across development, testing, and production environments.
• Develop basic operational reports and dashboards using Power BI over Dataverse‑backed application data to support reporting, monitoring, and transparency needs.
• Provide ongoing SharePoint Online site administration in support of in‑scope business solutions, representing a significant but non‑dominant portion of the role.

• Coordinate closely with SharePoint stakeholders and technical leadership to ensure continuity, stability, and alignment with modernization objectives.
• Collaborate with the technical lead and project manager to refine functional and technical requirements; participate in requirements elicitation sessions, technical discovery, and solution design discussions.
• Contribute to the development of test plans, test scripts, and acceptance criteria.
