Power Platform & AI Solutions Architect

Key focus areas include:

• Establishing architecture standards, design patterns, and platform guardrails across Power Platform and AI solutions

• Designing and building AI agents, business applications, and automation solutions directly with business stakeholders

• Serving as technical design authority for the India Center of Excellence

• Owning Dataverse solution architecture supporting Dynamics CRM and D365 F&O

This role does not:

• Own Power Platform administration, licensing, or citizen-developer support

• Own Power BI reporting or Snowflake-based analytics; that stays with the BI team

• Own the broader Microsoft Foundry platform architecture, though it actively contributes to and builds on those capabilities

• Function solely as oversight or governance; hands-on solution design and delivery are core to the role

• This is primarily a U.S. business-facing role; India CoE technical direction is part of the scope but not the main focus

• Partner directly with business stakeholders, observing real-world processes and rapidly building, piloting, and iterating agent solutions in real time

• Facilitate discovery sessions and solution workshops that translate business needs into scalable technical solutions

• Set architectural patterns, standards, and technical direction for Power Platform and Copilot Studio solutions across the organization

• Design and build reference implementations, reusable components, and solution frameworks for enterprise adoption

• Establish and enforce ALM practices for solution deployment across dev/test/prod environments

• Design grounding and integration architecture for AI-driven agents, including RAG, MCP (Model Context Protocol), A2A (Agent2Agent protocol), knowledge sources, enterprise search, custom connectors, and REST/API integrations

• Provide technical direction to the India Center of Excellence: design and code review, work intake, quality standards, and overlap-hours collaboration

• Document architecture decisions and provide technical mentorship across the internal team and India CoE

• Own Dataverse solution architecture supporting Dynamics CRM and D365 F&O, including data modeling, security roles, and environment strategy

• Bachelor's degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience

• 8+ years of overall IT/software experience, including 5+ years architecting solutions on Microsoft Power Platform

• 2-3+ years of GenAI/agent development experience, with recent hands-on exposure to Copilot Studio, Microsoft Foundry, RAG, MCP, and A2A patterns

• Demonstrated architecture ownership: has set patterns, standards, and technical direction for a platform, not only delivered against another party's design

• Deep, hands-on coding ability: Power Fx, custom connectors, plug-ins, and scripting (PowerShell, Python, or similar)

• Experience designing grounding and integration architecture: knowledge sources, enterprise search, custom connectors, and REST/API integration

• Experience with Microsoft 365 and Dynamics 365 ecosystem integration

• Experience directing distributed or offshore delivery teams, including design review, work intake, and quality standards

• Strong business acumen and communication skills; comfortable working directly with business stakeholders to solve problems in real tient-driven architectures

• Exposure to machine learning concepts and solutions

• Exposure to lakehouse or big data orchestration platforms

• Microsoft Certified: AI Agent Builder Associate (Exam AB-620) or Microsoft Certified: Agentic AI Business Solutions Architect

• Microsoft Certified: Azure AI Apps and Agents Developer Associate (AI-103)

• Microsoft Power Platform certifications (PL-100, PL-200, PL-400, PL-600)

• Exposure to enterprise AI governance and agent inventory/compliance tooling

This role sits at the intersection of business transformation and agentic AI delivery: you'll work directly with business teams to solve real problems in real time, while also shaping the architecture and standards that guide enterprise-wide AI adoption. It's suited to someone who wants to stay hands-on and technical rather than move into a purely administrative or oversight track
