HyerTek is seeking a highly skilled Solution Architect for a 4-month contract engagement to design and deliver a model-driven, Dataverse-based application solution using Microsoft Power Platform. This role focuses on implementing a robust Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) framework, establishing solution layering standards, and ensuring security and governance compliance within a controlled enterprise environment.
Responsibilities
- Define the technical architecture and solution layering model (Core, Feature, and Configuration layers) for a multi-environment Power Platform solution.
- Design secure and scalable Dataverse schemas, including tables, relationships, forms, and business rules.
- Establish a security and compliance framework, including role-based and field-level access controls, auditing, and data policies.
- Review and enforce connector usage, environment configurations, and DLP policies to ensure adherence to enterprise standards.
- Lead implementation of a multi-environment ALM strategy using Deployment Pipelines or Power Platform CLI automation.
- Configure solution packaging, versioning, dependency management, and managed/unmanaged boundaries for repeatable, controlled releases.
- Develop and maintain deployment scripts, environment variable definitions, and connection reference mappings.
- Integrate quality gates (Solution Checker, dependency checks, and automated test harnesses) into release processes.
- Partner with technical leads, developers, and compliance teams to align architectural design with governance requirements.
- Provide hands-on technical leadership and mentorship, guiding makers and developers in ALM and solution management best practices.
- Lead design and review sessions to validate architecture, environment readiness, and deployment plans.
- Produce structured documentation of architecture, ALM flow, deployment procedures, and version control practices.
- Leverage Power Platform CLI and Solution Packager to create YAML-based metadata exports and maintain solution artifacts in source control.
- Support the creation of automated documentation workflows and release note generation from metadata.
Qualifications
- U.S. citizenship (required).
- Ability to obtain and maintain a DoD security clearance (active clearance strongly preferred).
- 7+ years of professional experience in solution architecture, including at least 3 years with the Microsoft Power Platform (Dataverse, Power Apps, Power Automate).
- Demonstrated experience implementing ALM best practices across Development, Test, and Production environments.
- Proficiency with Power Platform CLI (PAC CLI), Azure DevOps, or equivalent CI/CD automation tooling.
- In-depth knowledge of role-based access control, field-level security, and auditing in Power Platform.
- Strong understanding of data governance and environment policy management in secure or regulated settings.
- Excellent communication skills and ability to produce precise technical documentation.
Preferred
- Microsoft Certified: Power Platform Solution Architect Expert (PL-600) or equivalent certification.
- Experience designing solutions in secure, compliance-driven environments (e.g., government, defense, or critical infrastructure sectors).
