Jr. Software Developer

Inserso is seeking a Junior Power Platform Developer to support the design, development, and maintenance of low-code business applications and automated workflows for a federal customer's DevSecOps program. This entry-level role (1–3 years of professional experience) is ideal for someone early in their career who wants to build hands-on Microsoft Power Platform experience in a mission-critical, regulated environment.

About the role

Power Platform proficiency is not expected on day one. The team values candidates with strong, tool-agnostic fundamentals in programming, data, and analytics who can apply that foundation to a specific platform. You will work alongside two current team members with Power Platform development experience, one of whom brings strong SQL Server depth. This role requires a candidate who can learn independently, document their own work thoroughly, and sustain progress without daily oversight.

This position is on-site at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain Canvas and Model-driven Power Apps to support business process needs.
• Design and implement Power Automate cloud flows to automate manual or repetitive workflows.
• Support Dataverse table design, relationships, and basic security role configuration.
• Assist with Power BI report/dashboard development, including dataset preparation.
• Integrate Power Platform solutions with SharePoint, SQL Server, and other Microsoft 365 data sources.
• Apply fundamental programming and data concepts to platform-specific implementation, learning Power Platform's tools on the job.
• Document solution design, configuration decisions, and known issues clearly enough that teammates can pick up the work with minimal handoff time.
• Participate in testing, documentation, and peer code/solution review.
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues in existing Power Platform solutions.
• Proactively communicate blockers and continue making productive progress through research, testing, documentation, or backlog work while awaiting guidance.

Requirements

• Must be a U.S. Citizen.
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science or an IT-related discipline or equivalent experience.
• Must meet DoD 8140 compliance through required certifications for elevated network privilege (e.g., CompTIA Security+). If the candidate doesn't already possess it, must be willing to obtain it.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret security clearance; an active Secret clearance is preferred.
• Up to 3 years of professional software, data, or application-development experience; strong internship, academic, or personal-project experience will also be considered.

Skills

Required

• Strong self-documentation habits — comfortable writing down what they did and why, not just doing the work.
• Comfortable asking good questions in batched/async form rather than needing real-time answers.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset — ability to break down a business process into logical steps.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills.

Preferred

• Fundamental object-oriented programming concepts, demonstrated through C# or a comparable object-oriented language; familiarity with C# preferred.
• Fundamental scripting/programming ability in Python.
• Fundamental SQL skills — writing queries, joins, filtering, aggregation.
• Basic, tool-agnostic understanding of data analytics concepts — data types, aggregation logic, tabular data manipulation, basic statistics.
• Basic understanding of relational data concepts (tables, relationships, keys).
• Hands-on exposure to Power Apps and/or Power Automate (coursework, internship, or personal projects).
• Foundational understanding of Power Fx (Canvas app formula language).
• Exposure to Power BI (report building, DAX basics).
• Exposure to Dataverse or the legacy Common Data Service.
• Familiarity with Power Platform Admin Center / environments concept.
• Coursework, certification, or self-study in Microsoft Power Platform Fundamentals (PL-900).
• Familiarity with SharePoint lists and document libraries.

Physical and Mental Qualifications

• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Ability to prioritize tasks and manage time effectively.
• Ability to adapt to changing priorities and requirements.
• Ability to communicate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
