This role is a very exciting opportunity for a technical expert who can help deliver new products in the Power Platform ecosystem, enhance existing products, and mentor junior engineers on the team.
A typical day will start with a stand-up meeting alongside a multi-functional team of business analysts, testers, and fellow developers to review progress, blockers, and priorities. Next, you'll focus on some development for the current project you're assigned to; this could be building a complex Power Automate flow, enhancing an existing model-driven app or adding a new webpage to a Power Pages portal. There will be junior developers on the project team who you help to mentor, so you'll spend some time reviewing a piece of development they have completed and walking them through best practices for component reuse and a scalable design.
If you're in the office, you'll grab lunch in the canteen with some of your colleagues or go out for a walk around the city if the weather is nice.
In the afternoon you have a demo scheduled with partners of the project to show them an exciting piece of functionality that you designed.
Following this call, you finish documenting a best practice guide for solution and environment management. This is to help the wider team improve their knowledge and to ensure deployments are smooth and with minimal disruption.
Before logging off you'll update the backlog for your project and make some notes for a Power Apps security design meeting you have arranged for the following day.

The role requires good levels of development competency, experience in Agile and DevOps methodologies and the ability to inform best practice design.
