Microsoft Power Platform Solution Architect

Overview

Info Gain Consulting LLC is seeking a Microsoft Power Platform Solution Architect. In this role you will provide technical leadership for the design, development, configuration, deployment, maintenance, enhancement, troubleshooting, and knowledge transfer of Microsoft Power Platform solutions.

You will act as the principal technical authority across Microsoft Power Apps, Microsoft Power Automate, Microsoft Power BI, Microsoft Dataverse (when applicable), and Microsoft SharePoint integrations. Your remit spans data modeling and integration, application security and role-based access, environment and release management, testing and quality assurance, Section 508 accessibility, technical documentation, production support and defect resolution, and knowledge transfer. You will help modernize outdated processes, sustain mission-critical applications, and prepare staff to administer these solutions with minimal contractor intervention

Key Responsibilities

Solution Architecture

• Assess business, technical, security, data, integration, and operational requirements.
• Develop scalable, maintainable Power Platform solution architectures and define application, workflow, data, integration, reporting, environment, security, and deployment patterns.
• Create and maintain architecture diagrams, configuration documentation, data-flow diagrams, interface specifications, and architecture decision records.
• Evaluate whether requirements are best implemented through Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, SharePoint, Dataverse, approved connectors, or other Government-authorized capabilities.
• Promote reusable components, limit unnecessary custom development, and design for supportability, auditability, accessibility, security, and future enhancement.

Power Platform Development Leadership

• Lead the technical design and implementation of canvas apps, model-driven apps, Power Automate workflows, Power BI reports, and related Power Platform solutions.
• Establish development standards, naming conventions, reusable patterns, configuration practices, and peer-review procedures.
• Review application configurations, formulas, workflows, integrations, reports, and technical artifacts, and support developers in resolving complex technical problems.
• Perform hands-on development when necessary and ensure work is traceable to approved requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria.
• Coordinate technical dependencies across concurrent application-development and maintenance workstreams.

Application Support

Provide technical leadership for developing or enhancing the Unliquidated Obligations Power App, the Document Approval/Clearance Power App, the Incubation Hub, additional Power Apps identified by client, and existing Power Apps, Power Automate workflows, Power BI reports, and SharePoint lists.

Unliquidated Obligations (ULO) Power App — technical oversight of:

• Consolidated data from authorized accounting systems and auditable data structures.
• Historical reporting-period information and carry-forward of prior comments for validation.
• Certification workflows, comments, and supporting documentation.
• Data validation and reporting and archival readiness suitable for downstream reporting and compliance reviews.

Document Approval/Clearance Power App:

• Integration across multiple SharePoint sites, with document and data retrieval and data updates to and from those sites.
• Preservation of the existing front-end design while enabling easier access and review.
• Continued user identification, PIV-enabled document clearance, and automated notification and approval workflows.

Incubation Hub:

• Intake, tracking, and historical records for business-process-improvement initiatives.
• Structured evaluation and scoring to support go/no-go decisions.
• Workflow stages, team and task assignments, and role-based permissions.
• Automated notifications, metrics tracking, and integrated visualization.

Maintenance and Production Support

• Provide technical oversight for maintenance and support of existing and newly deployed Power Apps, Power Automate workflows, Power BI reports, and SharePoint lists.
• Diagnose application, workflow, data, integration, reporting, permission, and environment problems.
• Lead the response to high-impact production defects and outages and participate in defect-triage activities.
• Provide technical assessments, severity recommendations, remediation estimates, and progress updates — distinguishing initial response, assessment, workaround, and final resolution.
• Ensure fixes are tested, documented, traceable to the original ticket, and properly deployed.
• Support the contract's operational-availability and ad hoc response requirements and maintain technical coverage during planned absences, onboarding delays, and personnel transitions.

Security and DevSecOps

• Incorporate security and privacy requirements throughout the solution lifecycle and apply secure configuration and least-privilege principles.
• Support compliance with security requirements, FISMA, applicable NIST guidance, records-management requirements, and Government security policies.
• Support application-security questionnaires, security-impact assessments, technical reviews, and other applicable SDLC artifacts.
• Coordinate code, configuration, dependency, and application-security scanning, and ensure high and critical vulnerabilities are resolved before release.
• Review security findings, oversee remediation, and support configuration management, source control, release controls, and Government-approved CI/CD processes.
• Protect sensitive Government data and personally identifiable information (PII).

Section 508 Accessibility

• Incorporate Section 508 and applicable WCAG Level A and AA requirements into solution design.
• Collaborate with accessibility and QA personnel throughout development so accessibility is addressed before release rather than deferred to final testing.
• Support remediation of accessibility defects and ensure updates and maintenance do not reduce existing accessibility conformance.
• Assist with technical information needed for Accessibility Conformance Reports, VPAT-based documentation, supplemental reports, demonstrations, and Government testing.

Testing and Quality

• Establish unit, integration, regression, usability, performance, security, and accessibility testing expectations.
• Review test strategies, plans, cases, acceptance criteria, and defect evidence, and conduct or coordinate technical peer reviews.
• Support user-acceptance testing and collaborate with an independent QA or Section 508 specialist.
• Verify that solutions satisfy functional and nonfunctional requirements before recommending deployment, and track quality metrics, defects, deployment readiness, and remediation status.
• Developers conduct unit testing but should not be the sole approvers of their own work.

Documentation and Knowledge Transfer

• Produce and maintain system architecture, configuration, data, integration, workflow, security, deployment, troubleshooting, and support documentation, keeping it current through development and maintenance.
• Develop support runbooks and transition materials.
• Conduct demonstrations, technical briefings, knowledge-transfer sessions, and hands-on training that enable staff to administer and maintain solutions with minimal contractor intervention.
• Support the transfer of all Power Platform solutions and associated technical materials.
• Project and Stakeholder Collaboration
• Work closely with the Project Manager, Business Analyst, developers, data specialists, QA personnel, Product Owners, SMEs, security personnel, architects, and technical offices.
• Participate in kickoff, requirements, architecture, development, defect-triage, status, release-readiness, and knowledge-transfer meetings.
• Provide technical input to project schedules, estimates, risks, dependencies, and priorities.
• Communicate technical issues clearly to both technical and nontechnical stakeholders and escalate scope, schedule, access, integration, security, and quality risks promptly.
• Help IGC manage multiple concurrent development, maintenance, and support priorities.
