Overview 

The Power Automate Solutions Architect will drive and own enterprise-grade solutions on Microsoft’s Power Platform, with a focus on scalable architecture, secure integrations, and performance-driven low-code applications. This position requires a hands on builder who takes solutions from idea to production. This role requires expert-level understanding of the Power Apps internal runtime model, Dataverse schema design, and PowerFx-based execution patterns. You’ll act as a Product Owner: gathering requirements, translating them into solutions, and communicating progress and decisions clearly to leadership.  This position requires the ability to work onsite 5 days/week at one of our locations in Rockville, MD, Frederick MD, or Tysons, VA. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Architect and implement Power Apps solutions, primarily model-driven apps, that integrate seamlessly with Microsoft Dataverse, Azure services, and external APIs through standard and custom connectors.

• Act as a Platform Owner through defining requirements, prioritizing features, managing stakeholder expectations, and driving solutions from concept to delivery. 

• Lead design of model-driven and canvas apps, governing solution layering, environment strategy, ALM pipelines, and dependency management across Dev, Test, and Prod environments.

• Develop and maintain reusable Power Apps components, including PowerApps Component Framework (PCF) controls and custom connectors, packaged and deployed via solution manifests.

• Oversee low-code application lifecycle management using Azure DevOps and Power Platform Build Tools, including source control of exported app JSON schemas and solution XMLs.

• Implement PowerFx-based logic, governance policies, and performance instrumentation across Power Platform environments.

• Present architectural decisions, project status, and technology recommendations clearly and confidently to leadership

• Collaborate with enterprise security and cloud teams to enforce compliance, data protection, and least-privilege design within Azure AD and Dataverse.

• Guide developers in understanding internal Power Platform operations — including metadata-driven compilation, connector resolution, PowerFx expression evaluation, and runtime sandboxing within Azure Functions. 

• Continuously evaluate and champion emerging technologies (AI tools, automation platforms, and low code/no code innovations) bringing recommendations on how new tools and drive business value  

Required Skills 

• 5-7 years of professional experience 

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Software Engineering, or a related technical field required

• Deep expertise in Power Apps (primarily Model-Driven), PowerFx, and Dataverse architecture.

• Deep curiosity about emerging AI, automation, and technology trends, with a track record of staying ahead of the curve and thinking proactively about how problems can be solved. 

• Proficiency in Power Automate, Power BI integration, and Power Platform Administration.

• Experience building PCF components, custom connectors, and REST-based integrations.

• Strong background in Azure Functions, Logic Apps, API Management, and Identity (AAD).

• Familiarity with JSON, TypeScript, C#, and Power Platform CLI/Build Tools.

• Proven experience implementing CI/CD pipelines for Power Platform solutions using Azure DevOps.

• Ability to present technical concepts and project updates to various audiences, some of which are non-technical 

• Creativity – a willingness to propose and test bold ideas, and not be risk-adverse 

• Ability to work onsite at one of our locations 5 days/week in Rockville, MD, Frederick, MD, or Tysons, VA.

Nice to Have Skills:

• Experience with modern AI-assisted development and automation tools such as Replit, Lovable, n8n, Enterprise Claude, or Enterprise ChatGPT.

• Familiarity with agentic AI workflows and the integration of LLMs into enterprise applications.

If you are a hands-on Power Apps innovator who thrives on driving end-to-end solutions, geeks out over emerging AI and automation tools, and loves translating bold ideas into real products — apply today!
