Senior Power Platform Engineer (Specialist) in DIGITAL ENTERPRISE

This role is a very exciting opportunity for a technical expert who can help deliver new products in the Power Platform ecosystem, enhance existing products, and mentor junior engineers on the team.

A Day in the Role

A typical day will start with a stand-up meeting alongside a multi-functional team of business analysts, testers, and fellow developers to review progress, blockers, and priorities. Next, you’ll focus on some development for the current project you’re assigned to; this could be building a complex Power Automate flow, enhancing an existing model-driven app or adding a new webpage to a Power Pages portal. There will be junior developers on the project team who you help to mentor, so you’ll spend some time reviewing a piece of development they have completed and walking them through best practices for component reuse and a scalable design.

If you’re in the office, you’ll grab lunch in the canteen with some of your colleagues or go out for a walk around the city if the weather is nice.

In the afternoon you have a demo scheduled with partners of the project to show them an exciting piece of functionality that you designed.

Following this call, you finish documenting a best practice guide for solution and environment management. This is to help the wider team improve their knowledge and to ensure deployments are smooth and with minimal disruption.

Before logging off you’ll update the backlog for your project and make some notes for a Power Apps security design meeting you have arranged for the following day.

The senior Power Platform engineer is expected to provide technical expertise for the platforms and mentor junior developers on the team. The role requires good levels of development competency, experience in Agile and DevOps methodologies and the ability to inform best practice design.

Our Approach to Inclusion

The Bank values diversity, equity and inclusion. We play a key role in maintaining monetary and financial stability, and to do that effectively, we believe we need a workforce that reflects the society we serve.

At the Bank of England, we want all colleagues to feel valued and respected, so we’re working hard to build an inclusive culture which supports people from all backgrounds and communities to be at their best at work. We celebrate all forms of diversity, including (but not limited to) age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, race, religion, sexual orientation and socioeconomic status. We believe that it’s by drawing on different perspectives and experiences that we’ll continue to make the best decisions for the public.

We welcome applications from individuals who work flexibly, including job shares and part time working patterns. We’ve also partnered with external organisations to support us in making adjustments for candidates and employees in the recruitment process where they’re needed.

From 1st October 2026, we expect all our colleagues to spend a minimum of 50% of their working time in the office per month. This is to capitalise on the benefits of working together in person across teams, while maintaining the flexibility offered by home working. Subject to that minimum requirement, individuals and managers should work together to find what works best for them and their team.

Finally, we’re proud to be a member of the Disability Confident Scheme. If you wish to apply under this scheme, you should check the box in the ‘Candidate Personal Information’ under the ‘Disability Confident Scheme’ section of the application.

One way we support diversity and inclusion is through our staff run networks.

We are fully committed to having a diverse and inclusive working environment, and are open to considering how the role might be carried out with flexible working.
