What You'll Do

In this role, you'll be working with a team of skilled engineers to bring solutions to the business that leverages automation and improves efficiency. The ideal candidate works closely with stakeholders to understand business processes, challenges and opportunities for automation. They will define requirements, create, design, develop, test and implement end to end solutions leveraging Microsoft's Power Platform and Office 365 tools.

• Be the subject matter expert of Microsoft's Power Platform and related tools; advocate for the use of the Power Platform as tools for automation and improving efficiency
• Design and implement solutions to simplify and automate tasks and processes
• Maintain and refine Power Platform standards, guidelines and tools
• Configure Microsoft Power Platform solutions, environments and apps

Investigation: Investigation starts with understanding the business problem to be solved. Software Engineers may lead or participate in requirements gathering that will feed an iterative based methodology. Packaged Software and SaaS products are commonly identified, and utilized, within Standard and are integrated with by new and existing solutions. Software Engineers are expected to be proficient installing and integrating these components.

Architect and Design: Designing solutions using an iterative, test driven methodology is the expectation. Software Engineers will write their own unit tests and perform the validation using contemporary tools, moving us towards continuous development/continuous integration. Production ready code is the target for all Software Engineers in this family. Data needs will be gathered, designed, implemented and tested by the Software Engineer using Oracle, Microsoft, or other data repositories. More complex data designs will be overseen by a specific Data Engineer. User Interface or User Experience design is the responsibility of the Software Engineer and should use a responsive design framework. Designs and code are peer reviewed with other Software Engineers or architectural governing bodies, depending on their complexity. Proto-typing is expected when introducing new approaches or techniques. Development in multiple modern languages is required with good proficiency. All architecture and design is expected to adhere to good enterprise level application security best practices.

Implement: Software Engineers are expected to build and automate the deployment of their components/solutions into production. Knowledge or proficiency in the current industry toolset for this purpose is required.

Software Engineers have to possess and demonstrate systems and critical thinking and leverage that in a collaborative team based environment. The ability to play varying roles comfortably is required. They must be self directed and have the ability to technically lead at a senior level. Working in a multi vendor, off shore model is now the norm in the industry and Software Engineers need to know how to be successful in this model.
