Sr Applications Developer​/Engineer​/Programmer; Sr Power Platform Developer

Project

Description:

We are seeking two Senior Power Platform Developers to lead the migration of those legacy solutions into clean, model-driven Power Apps backed by Dataverse, and to take on a backlogof 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 the 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.

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).
** ship is required.

Senior-Level Expectations:
In addition to hands-on development, senior developers are expected to:
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.

SharePoint to Power Platform Modernization:
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.
