Full job description

SMX is actively seeking a highly skilled, strategic, and collaborative Senior Microsoft Power Platform Developer to join our team. In this role, you will support a critical federal customer by enhancing a multi-domain technology platform that empowers military leaders, business decisionmakers, and analysts with unprecedented access to authoritative enterprise data and structured analytics in a scalable, reliable, and secure environment.

Operating within the Army 365 ecosystem, you will provide technical leadership in the secure design, development, and maintenance of cutting-edge applications. Crucially, this role requires you to operate within a high-velocity, highly collaborative Agile environment where priorities shift dynamically. We are looking for a technical expert who is not only a master of the Power Platform suite and cloud security but also a team-first player with high EQ. If you thrive on rapid context-switching, love collaborating with peers, and pivot seamlessly as project priorities evolve, this is the role for you.

  • End-to-End Platform Architecture: Design, architect, and implement dynamic, secure enterprise applications utilizing the full Microsoft Power Platform suite (Power Pages, Power Apps, Power Automate and Power BI).

  • Rapid-Fire Agile Delivery: Thrive in a high-velocity, highly dynamic environment, gracefully managing rapid mid-sprint priority shifts across domains while maintaining delivery excellence.

  • Workflow Automation & User Provisioning: Build robust, scalable automation solutions and user-provisioning applications leveraging Dataverse, SharePoint, custom connectors, and cloud flows with built-in error handling.

  • Security & Compliance Architecture: Spearhead the identification and mitigation of security risks in an IL-5 environment. Manage Microsoft Purview data security services and utilize Entra ID governance to maintain rigorous compliance and generate executive security posture reports.

  • Collaborative Team Leadership: Partner closely with a tight-knit, fiercely supportive cross-functional team. Embrace peer reviews, openly share knowledge, and contribute positively to team morale and psychological safety.

  • Governance & Operations: Champion the development and enforcement of security policies, governance frameworks, and procedural best practices using Power Platform administration consoles.

Required Skills & Experience

  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Technology, or a related field (or equivalent technical experience) with 8 or more years of total experience. A Master’s Degree in computer science, Information Technology, or a related field is preferred.

  • 5+ years of dedicated, hands-on experience developing, designing, implementing, and migrating solutions utilizing the Microsoft Power Platform suite (Power Pages, Dataverse, Power Apps, Power BI, and Power Automate).

  • Excellent analytical skills, with the ability to gather and analyze facts, formulate objective conclusions, and define problems and solutions.

  • Ability to work productively and maintain focus without direct supervision.

  • Ability to follow established processes, adapt to ambiguity, be a fast learner, and demonstrate a high level of personal ambition and initiative.

  • Strong communication skills, both verbal and written, along with the ability to develop technical documentation and presentations.

Desired Skills & Experience

  • Agile & Cultural Agility: Proven ability to navigate ambiguity, learn rapidly, and handle fast-paced priority shifts with a collaborative, ego-free team orientation.

  • Team Focus & Autonomy: Deep commitment to team success, fostering a supportive environment, and operating productively without direct supervision while maintaining strong peer relationships.

  • Analytical Excellence: Exceptional problem-solving skills, with the ability to synthesize complex data, formulate objective conclusions, and execute effective technical solutions.

  • Communication Mastery: Outstanding verbal and written communication skills, with a proven track record of developing clear technical documentation, architectural designs, and impactful presentations.
