Copilot Developer/AI Engineer - 1-2 years experience

About the Role

This is a strategic consulting role where you will be part of a high-performing, client-focused team dedicated to unlocking the full potential of Microsoft Power Platform, Copilot, and a broader set of AI tools including Claude. You will work with organizations to reimagine productivity, streamline workflows, and empower teams with AI-driven insights and automation — always within a regulated environment where strong data controls and responsible AI adoption are non-negotiable.

Responsibilities

• Develop applications in PowerApps using Dataverse, Power Automate, Excel, Forms, and SharePoint Online.
• Use multiple out-of-the-box connectors with Power Apps and Power Automate.
• Develop and deploy Microsoft Copilot Studio solutions that integrate seamlessly with Teams, Microsoft 365, Power Platform (Power BI, Power Automate, Power Apps), and other enterprise systems.
• Build and run AI-assisted solutions using Claude locally — outside of the Microsoft 365 environment — for development, prototyping, and automation, while keeping data handling compliant with organizational and client controls.
• Incorporate adaptive cards, variables, triggers, connectors, and API integrations into Copilot Studio solutions to maximize functionality.
• Collaborate in prompt engineering: crafting effective prompts, skills, and grounding/context strategies across both Copilot and Claude (and related tools).
• Participate in solution testing, validation, and quality assurance.
• Perform technical feasibility analysis, solution design documentation, and create user guides.
• Ensure solutions comply with Microsoft security, compliance, and governance standards, including Entra ID (Azure AD), Microsoft Purview, and DLP (Data Loss Prevention) policies.
• Apply strict data-control practices to all AI tooling — including locally-run models such as Claude — ensuring sensitive and regulated data is handled, stored, and transmitted in accordance with policy.
• Mentor teammates, provide technical guidance, and handle escalated issues from deployed solutions.
• Develop supporting documentation, user guides, and enablement materials to encourage effective adoption and continuous improvement.
• Optimize development efforts based on user feedback.
• Stay current with emerging Microsoft Power Platform and Copilot features.
• Proactively seek out, evaluate, and pilot new AI tools and platforms, assessing their fit, value, and compatibility with the organization's regulated environment and data-control requirements before adoption.
• Diagnose and resolve technical challenges related to Copilot Studio implementations, working closely with internal engineering teams when necessary.
• Ensure data security in all Power Platform and Copilot-enabled solutions.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in a technical field and 1-2 years of professional experience, OR equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Proven success in Microsoft Power Platform and Copilot Studio solution design, development, and deployment.
• Strong, hands-on working knowledge of modern AI tools — specifically Microsoft Copilot and Claude (and related tools) — including their use for development, automation, and prompt engineering.
• Experience using Claude locally (outside the Microsoft 365 environment) for AI-assisted development and automation.
• Strong familiarity with Teams, Microsoft 365, Power Platform, Azure, and their integration points.
• Familiarity with Microsoft Graph API, REST APIs, and third-party system integrations.
• Skilled in identifying AI-driven optimization opportunities.
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively within a regulated environment with strict data controls, balancing AI experimentation against compliance, governance, and data-protection obligations.
• A genuine desire to explore, test, and adopt emerging AI tools and platforms.
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and troubleshooting skills.
• Experience with data integration from multiple sources while maintaining accuracy, quality, and compliance.
• Understanding of prompt engineering principles and LLM behavior; experience with RAG-based architectures preferred.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, including presentation development and delivery.
• Ability to work independently in a remote-first environment while maintaining strong coworker relationships.

Preferred Qualifications

• Demonstrated ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, actionable recommendations for non-technical stakeholders.
• Prior experience working for Microsoft or a Microsoft Gold/Cloud Solutions Partner.
• Certifications in Microsoft Power Platform, AI, or Copilot-related specialties.
• Experience with Agile/Scrum delivery models for enterprise technology projects.
• Knowledge of AI prompt engineering and LLM (Large Language Model) optimization techniques.
• Experience deploying and governing AI tools — such as Claude and other non-Microsoft models — in regulated or data-sensitive environments.
