Lead Power Platform modernization by designing Dataverse schemas, Power Automate flows, security models, integrations, and code apps. Reverse-engineer exported legacy systems, replicate verified behavior, troubleshoot platform behavior through API tooling and live testing, and document divergences and requirements traceability. Mentor developers, review implementations, manage cross-environment integrations, and implement identity provisioning, service-account patterns, and privilege scoping.
A significant share of the work in this role is matching the exact behavior of real, already-deployed legacy and Power Platform systems from their own source exports, not just building new features from a blank slate. This role therefore calls for both strong Power Platform delivery expertise and a reverse-engineering mindset.
Responsibilities- Design and build Dataverse schemas, Power Automate flows, security roles, and generative code pages for Power Platform modernization workstreams.
- Decode and faithfully replicate the behavior of existing, already-deployed systems by reading their exported source directly, not just working from requirements documents.
- Go beyond no-code and low-code tooling when needed by authoring raw Dataverse Web API and metadata calls, debugging flows through run history and API tooling, and diagnosing undocumented platform behavior through direct testing.
- Own the technical integrity of cross-environment integrations, JIT identity provisioning, service-account patterns, and the security model, including roles and privilege scoping.
- Identify and clearly document design divergences from source systems, distinguishing verified behavior, new functionality, accepted simplifications, and assumptions.
- Mentor and direct supporting developers, review flow and schema designs for correctness and maintainability, and provide hands-on coding guidance.
- Maintain a living requirements-traceability record mapping what is built against the authoritative requirement source.
RequirementsRequired Skills and Experience
Screen for concrete, demonstrable experience in each area below. 5+ years of Power Platform experience alone is not a sufficient filter for this role.
- 5+ years of hands-on Power Platform and Dataverse delivery experience, including at least one engagement involving custom Power Automate flows and Dataverse security configuration beyond default settings.
- Experience as a hands-on technical lead who mentors developers, works alongside the team, and demonstrates implementation approaches in practice.
- Direct experience with Dataverse Web API and metadata operations, including creating or modifying tables, columns, and relationships through Web API calls rather than only through the Maker UI.
- Hands-on experience with Workflow Definition Language expressions, connection references, webhook trigger subscription registration, and debugging flows through run history and API tooling rather than only the visual designer.
- Strong experience configuring Dataverse security architecture, including security roles, table-level privilege scoping, business units, teams, JIT user provisioning, and service-principal or dedicated service-account patterns.
- Experience with cross-environment Dataverse integration using OAuth client credentials and secret management.
- Experience building Power Apps code apps or generative pages with React, TypeScript, and component libraries, with an understanding of platform-specific data-binding conventions.
- Experience with advanced PAC CLI operations beyond basic solution export and import, including metadata operations, environment variables, connection references, and solution component management.
- Experience unpacking and reading exported Power Platform solution contents to determine how an existing system behaves in practice.
- Experience troubleshooting platform behavior through deliberate live-environment testing when documentation alone is insufficient.
- Availability during Hawaii Standard Time business hours.
- Experience with public-sector or government modernization.
- Experience designing audit- and compliance-grade data trails.
- Familiarity with Dataverse auditing settings and edge cases.
- PL-600 or PL-400 certification.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
