Connecting business applications through REST APIs, webhooks and custom connectors.

Creating maintainable automation using Power Automate, Dataverse and Power Platform.

Implementing secure authentication and access using Entra ID, OAuth 2.0 and managed identities.

Establishing reliable testing, monitoring, logging and deployment practices.

Helping define technical standards and mentoring colleagues building internal automations.

Integration patterns covering authentication, pagination, rate limits, retries and exception handling.

Clear communication skills and the confidence to own technical decisions.

Experience that would be useful

Hands-on experience with Copilot Studio, Power Automate, Power Fx or Dataverse would be particularly valuable. Strong .NET and Azure engineers with the aptitude and enthusiasm to develop these skills are also encouraged to apply, with support available.

Other useful experience includes:

Microsoft Graph, Teams and SharePoint integrations.

Azure AI services, document processing and retrieval-based solutions.
