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
