Power Platform Developer

Description

We are a purpose-driven professional services firm dedicated to providing support for a range of diverse federal program missions. Our focus extends across the intersections of national security, science and research, open innovation, public health and safety, and financial services programs.

We are hiring an accomplished software developer systems software. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of working within the defense and/or federal healthcare industry. The role is a hands-on delivery position on a federal contract and works day-to-day with the Defense Health Agency (DHA) business owners, the DHA J-6 Power Platform Center of Excellence and cybersecurity personnel.

The Power Platform Developer is a mission-critical delivery role on the DHA Business Process Automation and Visualization team. Working within the DHA Microsoft 365 tenant and DHA J-6 Power Platform environments, the Developer designs, builds, tests, deploys, and sustains Power Apps (canvas and model-driven), Power Automate flows, Dataverse data models, and Power BI datasets/dashboards that automate high-volume administrative workflows and give DHA leaders faster, evidence-based decisions on readiness, patient access, workforce, and mission execution.

The Developer operates as a non-personal-services contractor performing to the standards in the DHA Performance Work Statement (PWS), is accountable to Potomac Haven's Program Manager, and does not perform any inherently governmental functions.

2. Power Automate workflow automation

• Build, test, and maintain cloud flows, desktop flows, and business process flows that automate approvals, notifications, data movement, and system-to-system integrations.
• Use only Government-approved connectors consistent with the DHA J-6 Power Platform environment strategy and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies.
• Instrument flows for observability, error handling, retry logic, and Government-visible run history.

3. Dataverse and data modeling

• Design and maintain Dataverse tables, columns, relationships, business rules, and security roles that support the applications and analytics.
• Manage data migrations, environment-to-environment moves, and reference data governance.
• Align data model designs to interoperability requirements.

4. Power BI data visualization and reporting

• Develop Power BI datasets, semantic models, reports, and role-based dashboards for DHA leadership, mid-level management, and operator personas.
• Implement row-level security, data lineage documentation, refresh SLAs, and certified-content promotion in the DHA Power BI service.
• Provide visualization support for the DHA Business Process Automation and Visualization mission outcomes.

5. Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) and DevSecOps

• Manage solutions using Managed Environments, solution layering, and source-controlled export/import to move code across Dev → Test → Stage → Production per DHA-approved pipelines.
• Follow DHA-directed configuration management, change control, code review, and release management practices.
• Support integration with DHA-designated code repositories and CI/CD tooling.

6. Cybersecurity, RMF, and compliance

• Implement solutions in accordance with DHA cybersecurity direction, DHA J-6 Power Platform Center of Excellence governance, and applicable NIST/DoD security controls.
• Prepare and update RMF artifacts, security documentation, and Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M) entries as directed by the Government.
• Protect Protected Health Information (PHI), Personally Identifiable Information (PII), and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) throughout the solution life cycle.

7. Testing, deployment, sustainment, and operations

• Execute unit, integration, user acceptance, accessibility (Section 508), and security testing on all deliverables.
• Support operations, sustainment, and engineering support of deployed solutions — including monitoring, defect remediation, minor enhancements, and end-user support consistent with DHA PWS Service Level Requirements.
• Contribute to transition-in and transition-out activities as directed by the DHA.

8. Documentation, knowledge transfer, and Contract Data Requirements Lists (CDRLs)

• Participate in requirements elicitation, backlog refinement, sprint reviews, and Agile ceremonies as specified by the DHA PWS.
• Operate as a non-personal-services contractor at all times and immediately notify the Potomac Haven Program Manager if any Government direction could constitute personal services.

10. Continuous improvement and CoE contribution
