SharePoint & Power Platform Developer

Norfolk, Virginia

Spektrum supports apex purchasers (NATO, UN, EU and National Government and Defence) and their Tier 1 supplier ecosystem with a wide range of specialist services. We provide our clients with professional services, specialised aerospace and defence sales, delivery, and operational subject matter expertise. We are looking for personnel to join our team and support key client projects.

Role and Duties

Provide hands-on digital workflow prototyping and citizen development support to digitize CAPDEV work and information flows using approved platforms and development tools outside the Microsoft Power Platform environment.

The contractor is expected to work directly with operational users to identify workflow problems and opportunities, rapidly design and personally build proof-of-concept and pilot solutions, test those solutions in operational use, iterate based on evidence and user feedback, and prepare successful solutions for transition to enterprise development, DevSecOps, platform, or scaling organizations.

This is a hands-on rapid delivery role. The requirement is not primarily for enterprise architecture, strategic advisory, product management, programme management, software development team leadership, or supervision of development performed by others.

The objective is to allow CAPDEV to test digitally transformed workflows quickly and at relatively low cost before committing resources to enduring implementation, while ensuring successful prototypes generate sufficient operational, technical, and requirements evidence to support responsible scaling.

Essential Qualifications

Education or Relevant Professional Experience: A University/Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Software Engineering, Engineering, Human-Centered Design, Business Process Management, Business Information Technology, or a closely related field; or a minimum of five years of directly relevant professional experience in lieu of the degree.

Directly relevant professional experience shall include work in at least two of the following areas: low-code/no-code or configurable-application development; workflow automation; software or web application development; business-process digitization; rapid prototyping or minimum-viable-product development.

Either the degree or experience-in-lieu route fully satisfies this qualification.

Recent End-to-End Hands-On Digital Solution Delivery: Demonstrated recent experience personally developing digital applications, workflows, prototypes, or pilots from identification of a user or business-process requirement through configuration or development, testing, user feedback, and operational use or pilot activity.

The candidate shall demonstrate at least twelve calendar months within the last twenty-four months during which hands-on digital application, workflow, or prototype development constituted a substantial and recurring portion of the candidate's assigned duties, and at least one personally developed digital solution used by an identified user group as part of an active business process or operational pilot within the last eighteen months.

The candidate shall identify the month and year of qualifying experience, approximate proportion of assigned duties devoted to hands-on development, business process addressed, personal technical contribution, technologies or platforms used, and user group.

Experience limited to directing, supervising, managing, advising, governing, architecting, technical leadership, product ownership, programme management, coordinating, or overseeing development performed by others does not satisfy this requirement. Multiple components developed for the same user group to address the same business-process requirement shall be considered one example. Qualifying experience may overlap in time with experience used to satisfy other Essential Qualifications where the work demonstrates the required competencies.

Non-Microsoft Low-Code, No-Code, or Configurable Application Development: Minimum of two years within the last five years, including hands-on development within the last twenty-four months, personally designing, configuring, building, testing, and deploying applications or workflows using non-Microsoft low-code, no-code, configurable-application, workflow, or comparable rapid-development platforms.

The candidate shall demonstrate at least two personally developed applications or workflow solutions, including at least one used by an identified user group as part of an active business process or operational pilot within the last twenty-four months and a second qualifying example within the last three years.

Across the candidate's qualifying examples, the candidate shall demonstrate hands-on development using at least two distinct non-Microsoft rapid-development platforms, frameworks, or application-development technologies. The candidate is not required to demonstrate equal depth or duration of experience in each.

At least one qualifying solution shall demonstrate three or more of the following characteristics, with at least one characteristic drawn from items 3, 5, or 7:

• multiple workflow states, screens, forms, or user roles;
• conditional or role-based behaviour;
• structured data model or relationships between data entities;
• custom validation, business rules, or workflow logic;
• integration with more than one data source, service, or application;
• automated routing, approvals, notifications, or task coordination; or
• reusable components, scripts, extensions, or comparable application logic, with the candidate identifying the component, script, or extension and describing what it performed.

For each example, the candidate shall identify the platform or technology used, business process addressed, personal technical contribution, qualifying characteristics, user group, and resulting operational or pilot use, and shall briefly describe how the claimed characteristics were personally implemented.

Applications or workflows configured or developed primarily by others, basic forms or templates, or demonstration-only builds do not satisfy this requirement.

Qualifying experience may overlap in time with experience used to satisfy other Essential Qualifications where the work demonstrates the required competencies.

Rapid Prototyping and Minimum Viable Solution Delivery: Demonstrated hands-on experience within the last five years, including at least one example within the last twenty-four months, rapidly translating an identified operational or business-process requirement into a testable digital proof of concept, prototype, minimum viable solution, or pilot.

The candidate shall identify at least two examples in which they personally contributed to requirements discovery and personally developed the resulting prototype or pilot.

At least one qualifying example shall have progressed from initial requirement or process discovery to a testable solution available to representative users within ninety calendar days or less.

Across the two qualifying examples, at least one shall demonstrate at least two of the qualifying solution characteristics identified under Essential Qualification 3, including at least one characteristic from items 3, 5, or 7 of that qualification. The example demonstrating the required solution characteristics may be the same example that satisfies the ninety-day requirement or a different qualifying example.

For each example, the candidate shall identify the initial requirement, timeframe from discovery to testable solution, personal contribution, platform or technologies used, users involved in testing, qualifying solution characteristics where applicable, and resulting disposition or next step.

Experience involving only development against fully predetermined specifications without rapid iteration with users does not satisfy this requirement.

Qualifying experience may overlap in time with experience used to satisfy other Essential Qualifications where the work demonstrates the required competencies.

Business Process Discovery and Workflow Redesign: Minimum of two years within the last five years, including at least one qualifying example within the last three years, working directly with operational users, process owners, managers, or information stakeholders to understand existing business processes and design digitally enabled future workflows.

The candidate shall demonstrate at least two examples in which they personally analyzed an existing manual, spreadsheet-based, email-driven, document-centric, or otherwise fragmented process and identified user roles, process steps, handoffs, decisions, information requirements, pain points, and opportunities for redesign prior to development.

For each example, the candidate shall identify the user or process-owner group, existing process or problem, findings from process discovery, proposed workflow changes, and resulting prototype, pilot, or digital solution.

Experience limited to receiving predetermined requirements without direct engagement with users or process owners does not satisfy this requirement.

Qualifying experience may overlap in time with experience used to satisfy other Essential Qualifications where the work demonstrates the required competencies.

Data Integration and Lightweight Technical Development: Demonstrated hands-on experience within the last five years, including at least one example within the last twenty-four months, personally extending, integrating, or supporting digital applications or workflows using technical methods beyond basic platform configuration.

Across the candidate's examples, experience shall include at least two of the following:

• REST or other APIs;
• relational databases or SQL;
• webhooks or web services;
• structured data exchange between applications;
• Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, C#, or another general-purpose programming or scripting language;
• custom scripts, functions, extensions, or components within a configurable platform, with the candidate identifying the artifact and describing the logic or function personally implemented; or
• another identified enterprise application or data-integration mechanism, with the candidate naming the application or mechanism used.

At least one of the two minimum claimed technical areas must be drawn from items 1 through 5
