Position Overview

The Province requires 2 Full Stack Developers / Power Pages Migration Specialists to lead the modernization of our legacy portal infrastructure. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience with Adxstudio Portals and deep expertise in transitioning these systems to modern Microsoft Power Pages, leveraging Dataverse and the Enhanced Data Model. Team members will be responsible for analyzing, migrating, and optimizing entity forms, Liquid templates, web files, and custom JavaScript code to the new platform—utilizing enterprise AI tools such as Microsoft Copilot to accelerate code translation, automate schema mapping, and enhance efficiency across the migration lifecycle.

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

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.
