• Oversee low-code application lifecycle management using Azure DevOps and Power Platform Build Tools, including source control of exported app JSON schemas and solution XMLs.

• Implement PowerFx-based logic, governance policies, and performance instrumentation across Power Platform environments.

• Collaborate with enterprise security and cloud teams to enforce compliance, data protection, and least-privilege design within Azure AD and Dataverse.

• Guide developers in understanding internal Power Platform operations — including metadata-driven compilation, connector resolution, PowerFx expression evaluation, and runtime sandboxing within Azure Functions.

Required Skills

• Deep expertise in Power Apps (Canvas and Model-Driven), PowerFx, and Dataverse architecture.

• Proficiency in Power Automate, Power BI integration, and Power Platform Administration.

• Experience building PCF components, custom connectors, and REST-based integrations.
