PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Enterprise IT (EIT) Directorate oversees the strategic vision and implementation plan for IT systems and solutions for the enterprise at Leidos Biomedical Research, providing operational information and data systems support to Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research.
We're hiring a SharePoint Online & Power Platform Developer to design, build, and support enterprise Microsoft 365 solutions with a strong focus on SharePoint Online, the Power Platform, workflow automation, and modern collaboration and intranet experiences. This is a senior individual-contributor role that combines hands-on development with business and systems analysis: you'll work directly with stakeholders and end users to understand their needs, translate those needs into functional and technical specifications, and then build the solutions that meet them.
Working within a Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) environment, you'll partner closely with the Product Owner to turn a prioritized backlog into scalable, polished, and adoption-ready solutions. This role blends real development depth on SharePoint Online and Power Platform with the requirements analysis, documentation, and testing coordination that keep enterprise solutions aligned with the business.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Development -
- Design, develop, and deploy custom solutions on SharePoint Online, modern sites, web parts, page layouts, and intranet and collaboration experiences.
- Build scalable client-side solutions using the SharePoint Framework (SPFx), React, TypeScript, and JavaScript.
- Design and develop applications across the Power Platform, Power Apps (canvas and model-driven), Power Automate flows, Dataverse, custom connectors, and Power BI reporting/integration (including data modeling and DAX).
- Integrate SharePoint and M365 with enterprise systems and third-party applications using Microsoft Graph API, REST APIs, and Azure services.
- Implement solutions in line with information architecture, permissions/security models, and governance standards for the SharePoint and M365 environment, including audit trails, data lifecycle management, and retention.
- Implement DevOps practices and CI/CD pipelines for SharePoint and Power Platform solutions, including source control (Git), automated builds and deployments, and automated testing.
- Explore and implement AI-enabled experiences (e.g., Microsoft Copilot, Viva Connections) where they add value.
- Troubleshoot, maintain, secure, and optimize existing SPO and M365 solutions.
Analysis & Requirements-
- Elicit, document, and validate detailed business and functional requirements with stakeholders and end users.
- Analyze existing systems, processes, and workflows, and perform gap/fit analysis to recommend solutions.
- Produce functional specifications, process flows, data mappings, and system documentation.
- Translate business requirements into technical designs and communicate trade-offs clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
Testing & Delivery-
- Develop test plans and coordinate User Acceptance Testing (UAT), including setting up test access, triaging defects, and driving issues to resolution before release.
- Partner with the Product Owner to refine and estimate the backlog, and deliver committed features each iteration.
- Participate actively in SAFe ceremonies, PI Planning, iteration planning, daily stand-ups, system demos, and retrospectives, as a member of the Agile Release Train.
- Conduct solution demos and provide user training and documentation.
Compliance & Collaboration-
- Ensure solutions meet applicable compliance and security requirements (e.g., HIPAA, FedRAMP, FISMA, and NIH/NCI-specific policies) for enterprise and government environments.
