Power Apps Tech Lead— Canvas Apps, Power Automate & Dataverse
Location
Bengaluru / Delhi NCR, India (Hybrid)
Experience
7–12 years in application development, with strong hands-on experience building intuitive Power Apps canvas apps, designing scalable Power Automate workflows, and implementing Dataverse solutions including the security model — plus working knowledge of integrating AI agents and Copilot capabilities into Power Platform solutions
Role Summary
Avanade India’s Business Applications practice is seeking a Power Apps Tech Lead to lead the design and delivery of enterprise-grade solutions across Power Apps, Power Automate and Dataverse. This is a hands-on build role for someone who takes a business process and turns it into a canvas app people find easy and fast to use, backed by a properly designed Dataverse model and automation that holds up in production.
You will own features end to end — data model, app, automation, integration and security — on delivery teams alongside architects, business analysts and client stakeholders. We also expect you to bring AI into the solution where it earns its place: embedding Copilot and agent capabilities in canvas apps and the wider Power Platform estate, rather than treating AI as a separate project.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and build intuitive, user-friendly Power Apps canvas apps — screen and navigation design, responsive layouts, reusable components, delegation-aware data access and performance tuning.
- Turn business requirements and user journeys into working applications, taking ownership of usability and of how the app performs with real data volumes.
- Design and implement scalable Power Automate workflows — cloud flows, child flows, error handling and retry patterns, approvals, scheduled and event-driven processing, and concurrency and throughput considerations.
- Design and implement Dataverse solutions: tables, columns and relationships, alternate keys, calculated and rollup fields, and business rules.
- Design and implement the Dataverse security model — security roles, teams, business units, and row-level and column-level security — and validate that users see only what they should.
- Integrate AI agents and Copilot capabilities into canvas apps and related Power Platform solutions, including Copilot Studio agents, AI Builder models and prompt-based actions, with attention to grounding, accuracy and appropriate use.
- Integrate solutions with external systems and Microsoft 365 services using standard and custom connectors, Power Automate and APIs.
- Apply Power Platform ALM properly — solutions, managed and unmanaged layers, environment variables, connection references, and deployment through pipelines or Azure DevOps.
- Troubleshoot, tune and resolve defects across apps, flows and Dataverse, including performance and delegation issues.
- Follow Power Platform governance, licensing, data loss prevention and security best practice, and design within the client’s environment strategy.
- Produce technical documentation, solution designs and handover material, and support testing, UAT, deployment and release activities.
- Work with business stakeholders, architects and developers to shape practical solutions, and guide junior developers on the team.
Required Skills & Experience
- 7–12 years of overall application development experience, with a substantial recent focus on the Microsoft Power Platform.
- Strong hands-on experience building Power Apps canvas apps that users find intuitive — component reuse, responsive design, Power Fx, collections and variables, delegation and performance optimisation.
- Strong experience designing and implementing scalable Power Automate workflows, including error handling, child flows, approvals and long-running or high-volume patterns.
- Proven Dataverse implementation experience: tables, columns and relationships, alternate keys, calculated and rollup fields, and business rules.
- Practical command of the Dataverse security model — security roles, teams, business units, and row-level and column-level security — and the ability to design it for a real organizational structure.
- Working knowledge of integrating AI agents and Copilot capabilities with canvas apps and Power Platform solutions (Copilot Studio, AI Builder or equivalent).
- Experience integrating with external systems and Microsoft 365 services through standard and custom connectors and APIs.
- Understanding of Power Platform ALM — solutions, environment variables, connection references and automated deployment.
- Awareness of Power Platform governance, licensing implications and DLP policies.
- Ability to debug and performance-tune apps and flows, and to resolve defects through to closure.
- Good client-facing communication — running requirement discussions and demos, and explaining design decisions clearly.
.
Preferred / Good to Have
- Experience with model-driven apps, Power Pages or Power BI alongside canvas apps.
- Experience building Copilot Studio agents in depth — topics, actions, knowledge sources and channel deployment.
- Custom code extension skills: PCF components, JavaScript, C# plug-ins or Azure Functions.
- Azure integration experience — Logic Apps, API Management, Key Vault or Service Bus.
- Microsoft certifications: PL-400, PL-200, PL-600 or AI-102.
- Experience with Dataverse data migration and integration tooling (dataflows, Azure Data Factory, Data Migration Utility).
- Experience with Dynamics 365 applications on the same Dataverse platform.
- Experience in a consulting, global delivery or SI environment (Avanade, Accenture, or similar), including presales or demo support.
- Prior contribution to reusable components, accelerators or practice IP.
