• Automate complex business processes involving multiple systems (e.g., SAP, ServiceNow, SharePoint, Excel, legacy applications) using a combination of cloud flows, desktop flows, and custom connectors.

• Design and deploy complex automations in unattended mode using Power Automate Process licenses and hosted/on-premises machine configurations.
• Configure and manage machine groups, bot orchestration, queue management, and scheduling for unattended RPA execution at enterprise scale.
• Implement robust error handling, retry logic, exception management, and self-healing mechanisms to ensure high automation availability (99.5%+).
• Monitor bot health and performance through dashboards and proactive alerting mechanisms.

• Explore and integrate AI Builder, Copilot Studio, and Azure Cognitive Services into automation workflows for intelligent document processing, classification, sentiment analysis, and decision support.
• Develop AI-assisted automation prototypes leveraging Generative AI and Agentic AI capabilities within the Power Platform ecosystem.
• Continuously identify opportunities to move from rule-based RPA to intelligent automation by incorporating AI/ML capabilities.

• Demonstrate strong understanding of Power Platform licensing models — including Power Automate Premium (per user), Power Automate Process (per bot/unattended), Hosted Process, and AI Builder credits.
• Support license allocation, usage monitoring, and optimization to ensure cost-efficient utilization of Power Platform licenses.
• Adhere to Maersk's Power Platform Governance Framework — including DLP policies, environment management, connector policies, security reviews, and ALM (Application Lifecycle Management) best practices.
• Manage solution deployment across Dev, Test, and Production environments following structured change management processes.

• Collaborate with business stakeholders across logistics, finance, HR, IT, and supply chain teams to gather requirements and translate them into scalable automation solutions.
• Prepare and maintain comprehensive documentation including Process Design Documents (PDD), Solution Design Documents (SDD), test plans, and deployment guides.
• Provide training and knowledge sharing sessions to business users and citizen developers on Power Platform capabilities.
• Participate in the Automation Community of Practice (CoP) and contribute to reusable frameworks and components.

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• 4–7 years of hands-on experience in automation development, with strong focus on Microsoft Power Platform.
• Proven track record of delivering production-grade automation solutions using Power Automate (Cloud & Desktop) and Power Apps.
• Experience working in large-scale enterprise environments (logistics, supply chain, or similar industries preferred).

• Microsoft certifications such as PL-100 (Power Platform App Maker), PL-200 (Power Platform Functional Consultant), PL-500 (Power Automate RPA Developer).
• Experience with Azure DevOps / Power Platform CLI for ALM and CI/CD pipelines.
• Knowledge of SQL, JavaScript, JSON, and C# for extending Power Platform capabilities.
• Exposure to Process Mining and Task Mining for identifying automation opportunities.
