Scope:

The Province requires 2 Full Stack Developers / Power Pages Migration Specialists for a 6-month term to lead the modernization of our legacy portal infrastructure.

- Data Migration & Schema Refactoring: Use Power Platform CLI (pac ppa) and Dataverse migration tools to migrate data from the standard model to the Enhanced Data Model.
- Form/List Modernization: Recreate Entity Forms, Web Forms, and Lists into modern Power Pages Multistep Forms, using AI prompt engineering to accelerate field validation scripts and optimize code.
- System Integration & Security: Maintain seamless functionality across external integrations (payment processing, authentication frameworks, SharePoint) and map legacy security roles to Dataverse Table Permissions and Web Roles.
- Testing, Deployment & Knowledge Sharing:



Perform user acceptance testing (UAT), debug migration errors via AI diagnostic workflows, support launch activities, maintain technical documentation, and onboard incoming technical team members.
