  • Maintain documentation, testing frameworks, and performance baselines.

  • Set up monitoring and alerting for production automations.

  • Contribute to shared pattern libraries and standardised workflow designs.

  • Help refine engineering standards and best practices.

  • Experience with pytest, Jest, and test‑driven development.

  • Deep knowledge of Copilot Studio and emerging AI systems.

  • Ability to build robust apps and flows in Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power BI.

  • Strong understanding of API integration patterns, webhooks, workflow orchestration, REST/GraphQL.

  • Familiarity with security, compliance, and data privacy in a SaaS environment.

  • Excellent communication, organisation, and the ability to turn ambiguous problems into automated solutions.

  • Power Platform certifications are a definite plus.
