Overview

The Product

The rapid growth of the Microsoft Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Virtual Agent, Power BI), is fuelled by organizations across the globe investing in leveraging low-code/no-code development models to accelerate their digital transformation ambitions. Power Platform is a strategic new growth area for Microsoft, but more importantly, it is a disruptor technology that is giving “Citizen access” to broader set of users in an enterprise, to create next generation of business productivity software via radically simplified experience and without requiring extensive and costly training. It is transforming careers of ‘citizen developers’, making pro-developers far more productive and helping IT finally innovate at the pace that their businesses expect. To boost Power Platform to scale to millions of 'citizen developers', we are investing in Power Pages – an early emergent-stage product within Power Platform suite currently used by customers to enable collaboration with users both internal and external to their organizations. We are early in our journey to innovate on Power Pages product, integrate with other Power products (PBI, PVA, etc.) and shape it into a thriving standalone customer-facing business to drive incremental revenue and value for Power Platform.

The Team

We are passionate about building applications which can instantaneously scale to millions of users. We collaborate closely with many different teams and pursue creative solutions to help make them successful. We embrace modern tooling and approaches, and we’re optimizing our engineering for building cloud first web applications with a faster cadence of releases to deliver innovation at an exciting pace. Our responsibilities span across multiple key areas, including building core components, services, extensible modules to run seamlessly on the cloud. Our team works in an agile start-up like environment where we expect each team member to think out of the box to contribute and collaborate towards the mission of the team in a feature-crew setting. 

Responsibilities
