Microsoft Power Platform Developer II

Location: Pune, India

**Job Purpose**

The Power Platform Developer II designs, builds, and supports low-code business solutions on the Microsoft Power Platform — primarily Power Apps, Power Automate, and Copilot Studio — replacing manual and spreadsheet-driven processes with secure, scalable, supportable applications, automations, and AI agents. Partnering with business stakeholders and IT teammates, this developer translates requirements into working solutions and owns small to mid-sized efforts end to end with moderate guidance from senior developers and architects, working within established environment, data, and governance standards. The role balances new delivery with the enhancement and support of an existing solution portfolio, and contributes reusable components, patterns, and documentation to the broader maker community.

**Job Duties and Responsibilities**

• Partner with business stakeholders and analysts to gather and document requirements, assess whether a Power Platform solution is the right fit, and estimate delivery effort.

• Design, build, test, and deploy canvas and model-driven Power Apps, including responsive layouts, mobile scenarios, and role-based access.

• Develop and maintain Power Automate cloud flows — approvals, notifications, scheduled jobs, and system-to-system processes — with sound expression logic, error handling, retry patterns, and failure alerting.

• Build Copilot Studio agents: author topics and conversation flows, ground generative answers in approved knowledge sources, configure actions and tools that invoke flows and connectors, and publish to channels such as Microsoft Teams.

• Model and maintain Dataverse tables, relationships, business rules, and security roles, and select the appropriate data source and connector strategy for each solution.

• Integrate solutions with enterprise systems (e.g., SharePoint, Snowflake, SAP, Azure) using standard connectors, custom connectors, and REST APIs.

• Apply application lifecycle management practices: solution packaging, environment strategy, source control, and deployment pipelines across development, test, and production.

• Test thoroughly and support user acceptance testing; tune app and flow performance, remediate Solution and App Checker findings, and validate agent responses for accuracy and appropriate behavior.

• Build to security and governance standards, including least-privilege access, data loss prevention policies, and Microsoft Entra ID authentication.

• Monitor, troubleshoot, and enhance solutions in production; resolve incidents and defects, track adoption, and consolidate or retire solutions that are no longer needed.

• Maintain technical design documentation, support runbooks, and end-user guidance; coach business makers on platform standards and stay current with Power Platform and Copilot release waves.

**Job Qualifications**

***Education and Experience***

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.

• 2–6 years of professional experience building and supporting business applications, including at least two years of hands-on Microsoft Power Platform delivery.

• Demonstrated record of taking solutions from requirements through production release and ongoing support.

***Technical Skills***

• Hands-on Power Apps development (canvas and model-driven).

• Hands-on Power Automate cloud flow development, including expressions, error handling, and connector configuration.

• Working knowledge of Copilot Studio agent development — topics, knowledge sources, actions, and publishing — or closely related conversational/AI tooling experience and the aptitude to become proficient quickly.

• Dataverse data modeling and security roles, supported by relational database and SQL fundamentals.

• Integration experience with REST APIs, JSON, and standard and custom connectors.

• Familiarity with Power Platform ALM (solutions, environments, source control, pipelines) and with platform security and governance concepts such as DLP policies and Microsoft Entra ID.

***Soft Skills***

• Translates business problems into practical technical solutions and explains technical concepts clearly to non-technical audiences.

• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, with the persistence to find root cause rather than treat symptoms.

• Works independently on assigned solutions with moderate guidance, recognizes when to escalate, and collaborates well in an Agile, service-oriented delivery team.

• Detail-oriented and organized across concurrent priorities; a curious, self-directed learner who keeps pace with a rapidly evolving platform.

***Preferred Qualifications***

• Microsoft certification such as PL-900, PL-200, or PL-400 (Power Platform Developer Associate).

• Experience with AI Builder, Microsoft 365 Copilot extensibility, Azure AI services, or responsible AI and prompt engineering practices.
