Job description

Power Platform Solution Architect / Senior Developer

Location: Remote

Clearance: Ability to Obtain Public Trust

Position Overview: LCG is seeking a Power Platform Solution Architect / Senior Developer an opportunity supporting the assessment, design, development, and modernization of enterprise business applications built on Microsoft Power Platform.

This role is ideal for a hands-on senior developer or architect who continues to actively build solutions while providing technical leadership and architectural guidance.

While familiarity with SharePoint Online is beneficial, it is considered a supporting technology rather than a primary requirement. Candidates with strong Power Platform expertise and modern application development experience are encouraged to apply regardless of their SharePoint depth.

The architect will work closely with business stakeholders, developers, and technical leadership to modernize existing applications, establish development standards, and provide practical architectural recommendations that can be implemented immediately by the development team.
