Summary
Cyclotron’s AI Engineering team is hiring a Sr. AI Governance Engineer to own how our enterprise clients deploy, govern, and scale Microsoft AI and automation platforms. This is a hands-on, client-facing role where governance is the headline — Power Platform environment strategy, Copilot Studio agent lifecycle, DLP, identity, and ALM — but you also build. The right person has lived inside the Power Platform Admin Center long enough to have informed opinions about it, has stood up Copilot Studio agents inside regulated environments, and can walk a CIO through a managed environment design without losing the room. Bonus if you can drop into the pro-code stack — Azure, Functions, custom connectors — when the maker fabric isn’t enough. We are looking for someone who treats governance not as a brake but as the thing that lets scale actually happen.
Responsibilities
Governance & Strategy
Design and implement Power Platform and Copilot Studio governance frameworks for enterprise clients — environment strategy and segmentation, DLP and connector policy design (classic and advanced), Copilot/agent lifecycle governance, and security, compliance, and identity alignment (Entra ID, RBAC).
Technical Leadership
Advise on best practices across Power Apps, Power Automate (cloud and desktop), Dataverse, Copilot Studio agents (build, deploy, monitor, manage), ALM strategies (solutions, pipelines, DevOps integration), and monitoring, auditing, and operational support models.
Client Engagement & Communication
Act as a trusted advisor to clients, confidently discussing platform strategy, governance trade-offs, and risk implications with technical leads and executives alike.
Contribute to client deliverables: governance decks, decision logs, intake forms, policy templates, and pragmatic recommendations.
Requirements
5+ years of enterprise experience across Microsoft platform delivery, with meaningful time spent on Power Platform governance, administration, or architecture in a multi-environment, multi-business-unit context.
Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Power Platform — Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse, and the Power Platform Admin Center (PPAC). You can navigate PPAC quickly and know what each setting actually does.
Proven expertise in Power Platform governance — environment strategy, DLP policy design and enforcement, managed environments, solution ownership and access control models. You have shipped these at enterprise scale, not just read about them.
Experience with Copilot Studio, including agent governance, publishing models, security considerations, and how agents interact with the broader Microsoft 365 surface.
Solid understanding of identity, security, and compliance concepts — Entra ID, least privilege, conditional access, auditability — and how they map onto Power Platform and Copilot Studio decisions.
Comfortable engaging directly with clients and articulating strategy, risks, and recommendations to executive audiences — written and verbal, polished without being stiff.
Familiarity with pro-code extensions to the Power Platform — Azure Functions, Logic Apps, custom connectors, Azure DevOps pipelines — is a nice-to-have, not a hard requirement, but expect it to come up in conversation.
Governance-fluent bar — we are looking for someone visibly engaged with how the Microsoft AI and automation platforms actually get governed at enterprise scale. You don’t need to check every box below, but the majority should feel like a clear “yes,” and you should be ready to walk us through the relevant ones in a portfolio review:
Experience contributing to or standing up Center of Excellence (CoE) capabilities at real clients — not just deploying the toolkit, but operationalizing it: governance cadences, intake processes, maker enablement, and the political work to get adoption.
You have informed opinions on managed environments versus default, when to use solution checker enforcement, how to design a sane DLP policy that does not break every flow, and where the current platform guardrails fall short.
You stay current with the platform — you read the Power Platform release plans, you try features in preview, and you have a view on where Copilot Studio, agents, and the broader Microsoft AI surface are heading next.
Additional Knowledge & Skills
Pro-code and Azure depth — Azure Functions, Logic Apps, custom connectors, API Management, Azure DevOps pipelines for Power Platform ALM. Not required, but a real differentiator.
