Role Summary

We are seeking a forward-thinking Enterprise Principal Engineer to drive the development and deployment of autonomous AI agents on the Microsoft Copilot Studio (M365) platform, with a strong emphasis on Power Apps, Power Automate, Dynamics 365, and Azure AI services.

Key Responsibilities

  • Copilot Studio (M365)
    • Build, configure, and deploy agentic AI solutions using Microsoft Copilot Studio, leveraging its low-code/no-code environment to rapidly prototype and scale autonomous agents for business processes.
    • Design conversational and workflow agents that integrate with Microsoft 365 apps (Outlook, Teams, SharePoint) and enterprise data sources.
    • Develop custom Copilot plugins and extensions to enhance agent capabilities, including natural language understanding, task automation, and contextual reasoning.
    • Implement agent safety and transparency features per established governance frameworks and compliance standards.
    • Partner with product owners and business stakeholders to translate business requirements into agent configurations and workflows.
    • Agent action design — invoking Power Automate, Dataverse, REST APIs, and MCP servers.
    • Produce sequence diagrams, decision trees, and agent contracts aligned to approved architecture patterns for consistent engineering execution.
  • Power Platform
    • Develop and implement solutions using Power Apps for custom forms, dashboards, and mobile experiences that interact with agentic workflows.
    • Build and maintain Power Automate flows to orchestrate multi-step business processes, automate repetitive tasks, and integrate with external systems (ERP, CRM, insurance platforms).
    • Leverage Power Platform connectors to enable seamless data exchange between Copilot agents, Dynamics 365 CRM, and other SaaS applications.
    • Develop Power Apps components for agentic interfaces, including adaptive cards, PCF controls, embedded AI models, and workflow triggers.
  • Dynamics 365 Agents
    • Build and configure Dynamics 365 Copilot agents for customer service, sales, and claims workflows, leveraging D365 native agent capabilities alongside Copilot Studio extensions.
    • Extend Dynamics 365 agent functionality through custom plugins, Dataverse integrations, and workflow automation to support insurance-specific business processes.
    • Collaborate with CRM and platform teams to ensure seamless integration between D365 agents and broader enterprise agentic solutions.
  • Operations, Delivery & Lifecycle Management
    • Own the delivery lifecycle for agentic and AI-powered solutions — including new feature development, enhancements, defect resolution, upgrades, and production support across Copilot Studio, Power Platform, and Dynamics 365.
    • Manage solution packaging, environment promotion (Dev → Test → Prod), and CI/CD pipelines via Azure DevOps.
    • Lead unit testing, integration testing, and UAT support to ensure production-quality releases.
    • Participate in Agile ceremonies (sprint planning, standups, retrospectives) and collaborate with PMO for delivery cadence and release governance.
    • Adhere to IPH enterprise architecture standards and AI governance policies; escalate design decisions and pattern deviations to AI Architecture for review and approval.
  • Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement
    • Work closely with product, engineering, and data teams to translate agent goals, reasoning capabilities, and ethical boundaries into delivered solutions.
    • Partner with business stakeholders (Finance, HR, Operations) to align Copilot agent capabilities with business objectives.
    • Collaborate with AI Architecture to ensure solutions align with approved patterns, guardrails, and governance frameworks.
  • Monitoring, Optimization & Compliance
    • Monitor agent performance and optimize using feedback loops, telemetry, and Power BI dashboards.
    • Ensure delivered solutions meet SOC 2, PCI DSS, GDPR, and CCPA compliance requirements, embedding audit trails per enterprise architecture standards.

  • Strong proficiency in Python, C#, or JavaScript.
  • Hands-on experience with Microsoft Copilot Studio, Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power Platform connectors.
  • Proficiency in Dataverse — data modeling, customization, and plugin development.
  • Experience building and configuring Dynamics 365 Copilot agents and extending agent capabilities within the D365 ecosystem.
  • Familiarity with Dynamics 365 CRM, EIS Suite, and other insurance core systems.
  • Experience integrating SaaS applications in a complex enterprise environment (identity management, data integration, workflow automation).
  • Working knowledge of Azure cloud services, Azure Integration Services, and API Management.
  • Experience with solution lifecycle management (managed/unmanaged solutions, ALM tooling) and CI/CD via Azure DevOps.
  • Familiarity with source control (Git) and DevOps best practices.
