Job Summary

Kinross Gold Corporation is seeking a Power Platform Engineer to serve as the technical backbone of our Power Platform development practice. Reporting to the Director, Business Solutions and Digital Workplace, this is a hands-on, engineering-first role and not an administrative or coordination position. The successful candidate will own the full technical stack: designing and operating CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps, building and governing Power Platform ALM frameworks, administering the Power Platform tenant across all workloads, and delivering production-grade automation solutions for business users and internal departments. This role requires deep, demonstrable proficiency across Power Platform, Microsoft Graph API, PowerShell, PnP PowerShell, TypeScript, and Azure. Work Location This is a hybrid role based in the Toronto office, requiring onsite presence three days per week, with the remaining two days worked remotely.

Job Responsibilities

1. CI/CD Pipeline & ALM Framework

• Design and Build: Design and build Azure DevOps pipelines to automate Power Platform solution packaging, deployment, and promotion across Dev, Test, and Production environments.
• ALM Standards: Establish Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) standards using pipelines, solution layering, and environment strategies aligned with Microsoft best practices.
• Pipeline Scripting: Author and maintain pipeline scripts using PowerShell and TypeScript to automate builds, environment provisioning, connection reference management, and configuration.
• Source Control: Implement branch strategies, pull request policies, and code review workflows using Azure Repos to enforce development standards.
• Framework Evolution: Maintain and evolve the ALM framework as the Power Platform practice matures and scales.

2. Power Platform Centre of Excellence (CoE)

• Platform Administration: Own the tenant-level administration of the Power Platform across all workloads — including Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Automate Desktop, Power Pages, and Copilot Studio — managing environment configuration, tenant settings, capacity allocation, workload-specific admin center operations, and licensing entitlements for each service.
• Governance & DLP: Define and implement DLP (Data Loss Prevention) policies, environment strategies, and connector governance frameworks to establish a secure, scalable low-code ecosystem.
• Lifecycle Automation: Build automation to manage environment lifecycles, license assignments, and maker access using PowerShell and Power Automate.
• Documentation: Produce CoE documentation including runbooks, environment policies, and developer standards.

3. Solution Development & Delivery

• Platform Solutions: Build Power Platform solutions including Power Apps (canvas and model-driven), Power Automate cloud flows, Power Pages portals, and Copilot Studio agents to support internal process improvement and business user needs.
• RPA — Attended & Unattended: Design and implement RPA solutions using Power Automate Desktop, including both attended and unattended automation scenarios for repetitive, high-volume business processes.
• PAD Practice Management: Own the management and administration of the Power Automate Desktop development practice, including machine and machine group configuration, on-premises data gateway management, run queues, and desktop flow monitoring.
• Power Pages: Develop Power Pages sites for internal and external-facing use cases, including secure data access, Dataverse integration, and custom theming.
• Custom Connectors: Build and maintain custom connectors to integrate Power Platform with enterprise systems and external APIs.

• Architecture Alignment: Collaborate with Azure platform and security teams to ensure Power Platform integrations align with enterprise architecture standards.
• Solution Reviews: Participate in solution architecture reviews, contributing Power Platform and Azure integration expertise.

5. Copilot Studio & AI Automation

• Agent Design & Deployment: Design and deploy Copilot Studio agents for business use cases, including knowledge-grounded agents, process automation triggers, and Teams-integrated assistants.
• Agent Lifecycle Governance: Govern agent lifecycle through Azure DevOps pipelines and align Copilot Studio environments with the broader Power Platform ALM framework.

6. Microsoft 365 & SharePoint Online Administration

• M365 Administration: Perform day-to-day Microsoft 365 and SharePoint Online administration including tenant configuration, site provisioning, permissions management, and service health monitoring.
• Automation: Automate M365 administration tasks using PowerShell, PnP PowerShell, and the Microsoft Graph API to reduce manual effort and enforce consistent configuration standards.
• SharePoint Lifecycle: Manage SharePoint Online site lifecycle including provisioning, governance policies, storage quotas, and decommissioning workflows.
• Graph API Integrations: Build Microsoft Graph API integrations to extend M365 capabilities, retrieve telemetry, and power automation scenarios across Teams, SharePoint, and Exchange Online.
