Position Overview

We are seeking a hands-on Process Automation Developer to design, build, and migrate automation solutions using Microsoft Power Platform tools. This role will focus on transitioning existing workflows from Nintex and SharePoint into Power Apps and Power Automate, while improving efficiency and creating reusable documentation.

This is a highly independent, individual contributor role ideal for someone who can build solutions end-to-end—not just maintain existing applications.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop Power Apps (Canvas or Model-Driven) from scratch
• Build and manage Power Automate workflows (automated, instant, scheduled)
• Rebuild approval forms and business process workflows
• Enhance and optimize existing automation processes
• Create detailed documentation for all developed solutions
• Manage 1–2 automation projects at a time (ranging from 1 week to ~4 months)
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues in apps and workflows
  
  

Day-to-Day Activities

• Review requirements, screenshots, and process documentation
• Independently design and build Power Apps and flows
• Collaborate with internal team for clarification when needed
• Test applications and develop basic test scripts
• Document completed solutions for future reuse
  
  

Required Qualifications

• 2–6 years of experience with Microsoft Power Apps and Power Automate
• Proven ability to build apps and workflows from scratch (end-to-end)
• Strong experience with:
• Power Apps development
• Power Automate flow design and troubleshooting
• Writing Power Fx formulas (e.g., If, Patch, ForAll)
• Experience debugging failed flows and application issues
• Strong documentation and communication skills
• Ability to work independently with minimal oversight
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Microsoft Dataverse (tables, relationships, security roles)
• Familiarity with SharePoint (low priority)
• UI/app design experience
• Experience writing test scripts
• Knowledge of error handling patterns in Power Automate (try/catch, scopes, run-after logic)
• Exposure to Power Platform Admin Center or environment setup
• PL-900 or similar Power Platform certification (nice to have)
  
  

Work Environment

• Fully remote (U.S.-based candidates only)
• Supportive and collaborative team environment
• Contractor will operate as the primary Power Platform developer
• Access to a centralized Power Apps team for standards and guidance
• Minimal stakeholder management required
  
  

Additional Details

• Standard business hours (MT or CT preferred)
• No travel required
• Pipeline of active projects already in place
• Opportunity for contract extension based on performance
  
  

Screening Questions

• Have you built Power Apps and Power Automate solutions from scratch? Please describe.
• Have you created an app that integrates multiple Power Automate workflows?
• How do you typically troubleshoot a failed Power Automate flow?
  
  

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Strong hands-on Power Platform developer
• Comfortable owning full lifecycle development
• Detail-oriented with a focus on documentation
• Enjoys problem-solving and debugging
• Thrives in an independent, project-based environment
