Senior Power Platform Developer

Overview

Edgewater Federal Solutions is seeking a Senior Power Platform Developer to support a federal client in Washington, D.C. 

Responsibilities

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.
• Modernize business processes by replacing SharePoint-centric workflows with Power Automate flows and app-driven interactions.
• Identify and address technical debt or architectural limitations during migration, rather than performing one-for-one rewrites of legacy solutions.

 

Application Design and Development

• Design and build Power Platform Premium solutions, including canvas apps and/or model-driven apps, based on solution needs.
• Implement business logic using Power Automate, Dataverse rules, and applicationlevel logic.
• Apply role-based access controls using Dataverse security roles and application permissions.
• Package, version, and deploy solutions using Power Platform ALM practices.
• Use Microsoft Graph or HTTP actions selectively within Power Automate or applications when platform connectors do not meet functional requirements; this does not include designing or maintaining custom integration services.
• Troubleshoot and resolve application issues across development, testing, and production environments.
• Develop basic operational reports and dashboards using Power BI over Dataversebacked application data to support reporting, monitoring, and transparency needs.

SharePoint Online Support (Operational Site Administration)

• Provide ongoing SharePoint Online site administration in support of in-scope business solutions, representing a significant but non-dominant portion of the role.
• Perform routine site administration tasks, including permissions management, site configuration, list and library maintenance, and troubleshooting.
• Support business users and stakeholders with day-to-day SharePoint operational needs while modernization efforts are underway.
• Assist with site cleanup, rationalization, and transition activities as solutions are migrated to Power Platform applications.
• Coordinate closely with SharePoint stakeholders and technical leadership to ensure continuity, stability, and alignment with modernization objectives.This role operates at the site and solution level — Power Platform environment administration, licensing strategy, and SharePoint tenant governance are managed elsewhere.

Requirements, Testing, and Delivery Support

• Collaborate with the technical lead and project manager to refine functional and technical requirements.
• Participate in requirements elicitation sessions, technical discovery, and solution design discussions.
• Contribute to the development of test plans, test scripts, and acceptance criteria.
• Support functional testing, user acceptance testing (UAT), defect triage, and remediation.
• Produce and maintain technical documentation describing application behavior, data models, and operational considerations.

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.

Qualifications

• US citizenship is required per contact.
• 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 practic
