Success. The Softcat Way.

Our strategy is simple – we believe that highly engaged employees are the key to building customer trust and loyalty over the years. This trust and loyalty, combined with our market leading growth and performance, enables us to invest in our technology. 


 As part of Softcat's adoption of Microsoft Dynamics 365, Copilot and the full Power Platform suite, and our transition to a product-centric and Platform operating model, the Power Platform Engineer is a key hands-on role responsible for designing, building, and delivering high-quality, scalable solutions using Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Pages, Dataverse, Copilot Studio and related Microsoft technologies. Working within cross-functional Product or Platform squads, you will build both traditional Power Platform solutions and intelligent conversational agents using Copilot Studio, creating seamless experiences that combine apps, automations, and AI-driven agents. 

 

As CoPilot Engineer, you'll be responsible for: 

  • Design, develop, configure and deploy enterprise-grade solutions using Power Apps (canvas & model-driven), Power Automate (cloud & desktop flows), Power Pages, Dataverse, Copilot Studio and AI Builder.
  • Design, implement and evaluate predictive models and AI solutions for internal business needs, including data splitting, model selection, performance evaluation (e.g., confusion matrix, AUC) and mitigation of common issues such as overfitting or data leakage.
  • Apply modern engineering disciplines including source control (Azure DevOps / Git), Power Platform CLI / ALM / pipelines, automated testing, solution packaging, deployment strategies, and basic MLOps practices for model lifecycle management.
  • Partner closely with the Platform Owner to ensure all development adheres to established guardrails, architecture standards and the Platform roadmap.
  • Stay current with the Microsoft Power Platform roadmap, Copilot advancements, Azure AI services and emerging AI trends.

 

We'd love you to have:

  •  3–5+ years of hands-on experience with Microsoft Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse, Power Pages, Copilot Studio / AI Builder).
  • Solid practical experience with AI and data engineering: Python and/or SQL for data manipulation (pandas), descriptive statistics, data visualisation (Power BI, matplotlib/seaborn), basic predictive modelling, and data pipeline concepts (ETL, data quality).
  • Experience delivering solutions in a Dynamics 365 environment and integrating with Microsoft 365 / Azure services (including Microsoft Fabric).
  • Understanding of modern engineering practices (CI/CD, ALM, version control, automated testing) applied to the Power Platform.
  • Knowledge of Microsoft security model, DLP policies, environment management and CoE toolkit.
  • Experience working in agile / product-led delivery models (Scrum / Kanban).

 

We also acknowledge that the confidence gap and imposter syndrome are a real thing and can get in the way of us meeting fantastic talent, so please don't hesitate to apply – we would love to hear from you!

 

Work in a way that works for you

  • Hybrid working – 2 days in the office and 3 days working from home  
  • Working flexible hours - flexing the times you start and finish during the day  
  • Flexibility around school pick up and drop offs 

 

Working with us  

Wherever you work, we want you to experience the freedom and autonomy to realise your potential. You will feel supported by a team that celebrates individuality, encourages different perspectives, and embraces every background.
