Sr. AI Governance Engineer
Job Overview
Cyclotron’s AI Engineering team is hiring a Senior AI Governance Engineer to oversee the deployment, governance, and scaling of Microsoft AI and automation platforms for enterprise clients. This role involves hands-on client interaction and focuses on governance as a facilitator for scale.
Responsibilities
Design and implement Power Platform and Copilot Studio governance frameworks for enterprise clients, including environment strategy, DLP policy design, Copilot/agent lifecycle governance, and security, compliance, and identity alignment.
Contribute to enterprise operating models, guardrails, and standards for AI and automation platforms.
Assess client maturity and recommend future-state governance roadmaps aligned with business and risk goals, sequencing work for adoption.
Advise on best practices across Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse, Copilot Studio agents, ALM strategies, and monitoring, auditing, and operational support models.
Support solution architects and makers with governance-aligned design decisions and act as a trusted advisor to clients.
Lead or support governance workshops, discovery sessions, and executive briefings; facilitate discussions without dominating the room.
Translate technical concepts into clear, business-friendly language for leadership and non-technical stakeholders.
Contribute to client deliverables such as governance decks, decision logs, intake forms, policy templates, and pragmatic recommendations.
Qualifications
5+ years of enterprise experience across Microsoft platform delivery, with significant time spent on Power Platform governance, administration, or architecture in a multi-environment, multi-business-unit context.
Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Power Platform: Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse, and the Power Platform Admin Center (PPAC).
Proven expertise in Power Platform governance: environment strategy, DLP policy design and enforcement, managed environments, solution ownership and access control models, and shipping these at enterprise scale.
Experience with Copilot Studio, including agent governance, publishing models, security considerations, and interactions with the broader Microsoft 365 surface.
Solid understanding of identity, security, and compliance concepts: Entra ID, least privilege, conditional access, auditability, and how they map onto Power Platform and Copilot Studio decisions.
Comfortable engaging directly with clients and articulating strategy, risks, and recommendations to executive audiences, both verbally and in writing.
Familiarity with pro-code extensions to the Power Platform: Azure Functions, Logic Apps, custom connectors, Azure DevOps pipelines.
Able to work remotely within the United States with reliable overlap for Eastern and Central business hours.
Experience contributing to or standing up Center of Excellence (CoE) capabilities at real clients, not just deploying the toolkit, but operationalizing it: governance cadences, intake processes, maker enablement, and the political work to get adoption.
Informed opinions on managed environments versus default, when to use solution checker enforcement, how to design a sane DLP policy that does not break every flow, and where the current platform guardrails fall short.
Experience shipping Copilot Studio agents into regulated or otherwise high-scrutiny environments and the ability to walk through the publishing, security, and content-moderation choices made.
Current with the platform: reads Power Platform release plans, tries features in preview, and has a view on where Copilot Studio, agents, and the broader Microsoft AI surface are headed next.
Additional Knowledge & Skills
Pro-code and Azure depth: Azure Functions, Logic Apps, custom connectors, API Management, Azure DevOps pipelines for Power Platform ALM.
Hands-on experience with Azure AI services: Azure OpenAI, AI Foundry, AI Search, and how they integrate with Copilot Studio and the Power Platform.
Microsoft Fabric and Dataverse-to-Fabric integration patterns.
Experience with the Power Platform CoE Starter Kit and customizations on top of it.
Consulting or professional-services experience, or prior work in a partner/ISV ecosystem.
Track record of mentoring engineers, makers, or growing a practice.
