• Engage with business stakeholders to deeply understand requirements for proposed Copilot agents that necessitate custom, low-code, and pro-code development. • Translate business needs into detailed technical designs, including defining backend services, connectors, authentication mechanisms, and overall agent structure. • Create and maintain design documentation and diagrams, ensuring review and alignment with the Governance Lead and architectural baselines. • Implement Copilot agents using Copilot Studio, Microsoft 365 Agents SDK and VS Code toolkit. • Develop the agent's manifest (defining commands, triggers, and connected APIs) and write supporting code. • Implement API call logic, integrate with external libraries/SDKs, and handle complex data parsing and manipulation. • Adhere to best-in-class software engineering practices, including source control (Git), modular code design, and robust unit testing for critical functions, treating each agent or component as a deployable software product. • Lead and coordinate development efforts when multiple developers are involved. • Partner with the Governance Lead to integrate security and compliance checks throughout the development lifecycle. • Apply secure coding standards, including robust input validation and proper error handling. • Champion the development of agents that are not only performant but inherently trustworthy by design. • Conduct thorough testing of agent functionality, including functionality, performance, and security testing. • Ensure agents meet rigorous quality standards before packaging for deployment.
