Senior Power Apps Developer
About The Position
Make meaningful contributions that fuel critical outcomes for some of the most complex government, defense, and intelligence projects. Join GDIT as a PowerApps Developer for a career where your growth is just as important as the mission you support. The Senior PowerApps Developer provides both model-driven and canvas apps based on internal and external data sources, works collaboratively with the client to identify critical requirements and future needs, and sustains current PowerApp solutions. This role focuses on Power Apps development within an established application portfolio, including resolving production issues, implementing enhancements, and supporting ongoing modernization efforts. The PowerApps developer should have a strong development background which elevates PowerApps out of the low code / no code solutions and translates to Power Automate, Power Pages, and Power FX. The ideal candidate will be comfortable working within existing applications they may not have originally developed, troubleshooting issues, understanding current functionality, and implementing improvements while maintaining application stability. This position may occasionally assist with Power BI reporting, testing activities, and broader Power Platform support efforts depending on team priorities and workload demands.
