• Create and maintain architecture diagrams, configuration documentation, data-flow diagrams, interface specifications, and architecture decision records.
• Evaluate whether requirements are best implemented through Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, SharePoint, Dataverse, approved connectors, or other Government-authorized capabilities.
• Promote reusable components, limit unnecessary custom development, and design for supportability, auditability, accessibility, security, and future enhancement.

Power Platform Development Leadership

• Lead the technical design and implementation of canvas apps, model-driven apps, Power Automate workflows, Power BI reports, and related Power Platform solutions.
• Establish development standards, naming conventions, reusable patterns, configuration practices, and peer-review procedures.
• Review application configurations, formulas, workflows, integrations, reports, and technical artifacts, and support developers in resolving complex technical problems.
• Perform hands-on development when necessary and ensure work is traceable to approved requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria.
• Coordinate technical dependencies across concurrent application-development and maintenance workstreams.

Application Support

Provide technical leadership for developing or enhancing the Unliquidated Obligations Power App, the Document Approval/Clearance Power App, the Incubation Hub, additional Power Apps identified by client, and existing Power Apps, Power Automate workflows, Power BI reports, and SharePoint lists.

Unliquidated Obligations (ULO) Power App - technical oversight of:

• Consolidated data from authorized accounting systems and auditable data structures.
• Historical reporting-period information and carry-forward of prior comments for validation.
• Certification workflows, comments, and supporting documentation.
• Data validation and reporting and archival readiness suitable for downstream reporting and compliance reviews.

Document Approval/Clearance Power App:

• Integration across multiple SharePoint sites, with document and data retrieval and data updates to and from those sites.
• Preservation of the existing front-end design while enabling easier access and review.
• Continued user identification, PIV-enabled document clearance, and automated notification and approval workflows.

Incubation Hub:

• Intake, tracking, and historical records for business-process-improvement initiatives.
• Structured evaluation and scoring to support go/no-go decisions.
• Workflow stages, team and task assignments, and role-based permissions.
• Automated notifications, metrics tracking, and integrated visualization.

Maintenance and Production Support

• Provide technical oversight for maintenance and support of existing and newly deployed Power Apps, Power Automate workflows, Power BI reports, and SharePoint lists.
• Diagnose application, workflow, data, integration, reporting, permission, and environment problems.
• Lead the response to high-impact production defects and outages and participate in defect-triage activities.
• Provide technical assessments, severity recommendations, remediation estimates, and progress updates - distinguishing initial response, assessment, workaround, and final resolution.
• Ensure fixes are tested, documented, traceable to the original ticket, and properly deployed.
• Support the contract’s operational-availability and ad hoc response requirements and maintain technical coverage during planned absences, onboarding delays, and personnel transitions.

Security and DevSecOps

• Incorporate security and privacy requirements throughout the solution lifecycle and apply secure configuration and least-privilege principles.
• Support compliance with security requirements, FISMA, applicable NIST guidance, records-management requirements, and Government security policies.
• Support application-security questionnaires, security-impact assessments, technical reviews, and other applicable SDLC artifacts.
• Coordinate code, configuration, dependency, and application-security scanning, and ensure high and critical vulnerabilities are resolved before release.
• Review security findings, oversee remediation, and support configuration management, source control, release controls, and Government-approved CI/CD processes.
• Protect sensitive Government data and personally identifiable information (PII).

Section 508 Accessibility

• Incorporate Section 508 and applicable WCAG Level A and AA requirements into solution design.
• Collaborate with accessibility and QA personnel throughout development so accessibility is addressed before release rather than deferred to final testing.
• Support remediation of accessibility defects and ensure updates and maintenance do not reduce existing accessibility conformance.
• Assist with technical information needed for Accessibility Conformance Reports, VPAT-based documentation, supplemental reports, demonstrations, and Government testing.

Testing and Quality

• Establish unit, integration, regression, usability, performance, security, and accessibility testing expectations.
• Review test strategies, plans, cases, acceptance criteria, and defect evidence, and conduct or coordinate technical peer reviews.
• Support user-acceptance testing and collaborate with an independent QA or Section 508 specialist.
• Verify that solutions satisfy functional and nonfunctional requirements before recommending deployment, and track quality metrics, defects, deployment readiness, and remediation status.
• Developers conduct unit testing but should not be the sole approvers of their own work.

Documentation and Knowledge Transfer

• Produce and maintain system architecture, configuration, data, integration, workflow, security, deployment, troubleshooting, and support documentation, keeping it current through development and maintenance.
• Develop support runbooks and transition materials.
• Conduct demonstrations, technical briefings, knowledge-transfer sessions, and hands-on training that enable staff to administer and maintain solutions with minimal contractor intervention.
• Support the transfer of all Power Platform solutions and associated technical materials.
• Project and Stakeholder Collaboration
• Work closely with the Project Manager, Business Analyst, developers, data specialists, QA personnel, Product Owners, SMEs, security personnel, architects, and technical offices.
• Participate in kickoff, requirements, architecture, development, defect-triage, status, release-readiness, and knowledge-transfer meetings.
• Provide technical input to project schedules, estimates, risks, dependencies, and priorities.
• Communicate technical issues clearly to both technical and nontechnical stakeholders and escalate scope, schedule, access, integration, security, and quality risks promptly.
• Help IGC manage multiple concurrent development, maintenance, and support priorities.
