Application Development

• Design, develop, and maintain model-driven and canvas applications using Microsoft Power Apps.
• Configure Microsoft Dataverse tables, forms, views, business rules, and business process flows.
• Implement business functionality for claims, guarantees, case management, and deadline tracking.
• Develop scalable and maintainable solutions aligned with business and technical requirements.

Workflow Automation

• Design, build, and maintain Power Automate cloud flows for business process automation.
• Implement workflows for approvals, escalations, reminders, deadline alerts, and notifications.

Custom Development and Platform Extensions

• Develop custom plugins and custom APIs using C# and the Microsoft Dataverse SDK.
• Implement client-side extensions using JavaScript and TypeScript.
• Develop Power Apps Component Framework (PCF) components where standard platform configuration does not meet business requirements.
• Apply appropriate customisation techniques while maintaining platform stability, performance, and maintainability.

Testing and Quality Assurance

• Write and maintain unit tests for custom development and business functionality.
• Support and contribute to automated regression testing.
• Investigate, troubleshoot, and resolve application defects and workflow issues.
• Support User Acceptance Testing (UAT), including defect resolution and technical assistance.
• Ensure solutions meet functional, technical, quality, and performance requirements.

Solution Management and Deployment

• Work with managed and unmanaged solutions in Microsoft Dataverse.
• Follow established ALM practices across development, testing, and production environments.
• Maintain solution layering integrity and avoid unintended customisation conflicts.
• Support solution packaging, version control, deployment, and release activities.
• Collaborate with the Dataverse Technical Lead, other developers, testers, and business stakeholders to deliver quality solutions.

3. Essential Skills and Experience

Candidates must demonstrate the following:

• Minimum of 4 years of hands-on Microsoft Power Platform development experience.

• Understanding of Power Apps Component Framework (PCF) and custom component development.
• Strong knowledge of Microsoft Power Platform solution management and ALM practices.
• Experience working with managed solutions and maintaining solution layering without disrupting existing customisations.
• Experience writing unit tests, troubleshooting defects, and supporting automated regression testing.
• Ability to translate business requirements into robust, maintainable technical solutions.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.
