Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to translate business needs into working applications. Experience with data modeling, relational data concepts, permissions, and basic security considerations. Comfortable documenting systems, processes, and support procedures. Ability to manage multiple projects or requests while maintaining attention to detail. A strong sense of ownership, curiosity, and willingness to learn new tools and technologies. ## Preferred Experience Experience with Dataverse, Power BI, Power Pages, AI Builder, or Copilot Studio. Experience integrating Power Platform solutions with APIs, SQL, Azure services, Dynamics, PSA platforms, CRM systems, accounting systems, or other business applications. Experience with JavaScript, HTML, CSS, JSON, Power Fx, SQL, or scripting languages. Experience working for an MSP, consulting company, internal IT team, or professional services organization. Understanding of Microsoft Entra ID, permissions, service accounts, security groups, and least privilege access. Experience with application lifecycle management, environments, solution packaging, deployment pipelines, or governance in the Power Platform admin center.

They are comfortable talking with users, understanding what is broken or inefficient, and creating solutions that make work easier. They do not just build what was requested; they ask good questions, think through the process, and help design systems that are maintainable, secure, and useful. They care about clean documentation, reliable delivery, and creating tools that people actually want to use. ## Success in This Role Looks Like Internal and customer workflows become more efficient, consistent, and easier to manage.

The company develops stronger standards for building, deploying, and supporting Power Platform solutions. ## Why Join Us?
