We enable secure, high-performance connectivity across cloud, edge, and AI workloads for enterprises, governments, and communities.\nAt Lumen, you’ll work on infrastructure customers rely on today and build for what’s next, where performance, security, and resilience matter.\nThis is a high accountability environment where bold ideas drive real innovation for our customers, partners, and industry. The work is challenging, expectations are clear, and trust is built into how we operate. If you’re ready to take ownership, deliver meaningful impact, and help shape the future of AI-ready connectivity, join us today.\nThe Role\nWe are hiring an HR Automation Engineer to design, build, automate, operate, and continuously improve the applications, integrations, data solutions, and AI capabilities that power HR automation and digital experiences at Lumen.\nThis is a senior hands-on engineering role responsible for delivering solutions across Power Platform, Microsoft Fabric, Azure application development, AI platforms, and enterprise integrations. The role partners closely with HR leaders, analysts, product owners, and engineers to transform business needs into secure, scalable, and supportable solutions.\nIn one sentence: engineer the applications, automations, integrations, and AI-powered experiences that transform manual HR processes into modern digital services.\nThe Main Responsibilities\nWorkflow Automation & Robotic Process Automation\nDesign, build and support end-to-end automated workflows in Power Automate, spanning Microsoft 365, SuccessFactors, ServiceNow and our HR data sources, replacing manual and ticket-driven HR processes.\nBuild and maintain robotic process automations for systems that lack modern integration capabilities, including exception handling, credential management, monitoring, and operational support.\nImplement logging, alerting, retry mechanisms, and operational monitoring to ensure solutions are reliable, supportable, and scalable.\nIdentify opportunities to eliminate manual effort while balancing automation benefits with long-term maintainability and business value.\nApps, Data & Semantic Modeling\nDevelop Power Apps solutions, canvas and model-driven, together with the Dataverse data models and security roles behind them, giving HR practitioners and employees a governed front door to those processes.\nDesign, develop, and support custom applications when business requirements extend beyond low-code platforms.\nBuild secure web applications, APIs, and services using Azure App Services, Azure Functions, Azure Storage, and related Azure technologies.\nDevelop APIs and reusable services that enable integration between HR applications, automation platforms, analytics solutions, and AI agents.\nImplement application monitoring, telemetry, performance optimization, and operational support practices using Azure-native tools and Application Insights.\nEvaluate whether requirements are best addressed through Power Platform, custom application development, vendor capabilities, analytics solutions, process redesign, or other approaches.\nAgent Development & Analytics\nBuild and extend agents in Microsoft Copilot Studio, including topics, actions, knowledge sources and connected agent patterns, and wire automation actions into the conversational HR experience the team is standing up.\nDevelop Fabric data agents grounded on curated semantic models, so HR questions are answered from governed data rather than from spreadsheets.\nDeliver Power BI content on top of those models, including DAX measures, row-level security and report designs that HR leaders and COE partners actually use.\nIntegration & Platform Lifecycle\nBuild custom connectors and API integrations using REST, OAuth 2.0 and OData where out-of-the-box connectors fall short, including authentication, throttling and pagination handling.\nOwn application lifecycle management for the platform: solution-based deployments, environment strategy, source control and automated pipelines from development through production.\nManage the maintenance work that keeps the estate healthy, including connector and gateway updates, credential and certificate rotation, deprecation handling and post-change validation.\nGovernance, Enablement & Delivery\nEstablish and enforce platform governance, including environment and licensing standards, naming and reuse conventions, and monitoring through the Power Platform admin center.\nCreate reusable components, templates and patterns that let the wider HR team build safely, and coach analysts and citizen developers on using them.\nWork with product managers, analysts, and stakeholders to evaluate, prioritize, and deliver automation and AI opportunities in short, visible increments.\nProduce architecture diagrams, solution documentation and run books so automations are supportable by the team rather than by a single builder.\nCommunicate effectively with technical and business stakeholders and recommend solution approaches that balance business value, user experience, maintainability, and long-term supportability.\nWhat We Look For in a Candidate\n7+ years designing and delivering business applications, automation solutions, integrations, or analytics platforms, including at least 5 years of hands-on Power Platform delivery in an enterprise environment.\nDeep expertise in Power Automate cloud and desktop flows, including connectors, expressions, error handling, approvals and performance tuning at production scale. \nExperience designing, developing, and supporting Azure-hosted applications and services, including Azure App Service, Azure Functions, APIs, Application Insights, and related Azure technologies.\nExperience building web applications using .NET, C#, JavaScript/TypeScript, React, or comparable modern development frameworks is preferred.\nStrong Power Apps and Dataverse skills, including Power Fx, security roles, and both canvas and model-driven design. \nPractical experience with Microsoft Fabric and demonstrated skill in semantic modeling, including star-schema design, relationships, DAX, and lakehouse or warehouse pipelines. \nProficiency with Power BI report and dataset development, and comfort working in SQL and Power Query. \nExperience integrating enterprise systems through REST APIs, OData feeds and custom connectors, including authentication, throttling and error-recovery design. \nWorking knowledge of Power Platform administration and governance: environments, solutions, data loss prevention policies, licensing, capacity and the Center of Excellence Starter Kit. \nHands-on agent development in Microsoft Copilot Studio, or comparable experience building AI agents grounded on enterprise data, is strongly preferred. \nIntegration experience with SAP SuccessFactors, ServiceNow or comparable HR and service management platforms is preferred, as is familiarity with Azure Functions, Logic Apps or API Management. \nUnderstanding of the privacy, access and audit expectations that come with employee data. \nStrong communication and consulting skills, with the ability to work effectively with engineers, architects, HR leaders, business stakeholders, and executive audiences.\nAbility to produce clear architecture diagrams, technical documentation, run books and stakeholder-ready explanations, and to coach less technical builders. \nProven ability to evaluate business requirements and recommend solutions that may include automation, AI, custom application development, process redesign, or existing platform capabilities based on business value, complexity, and long-term supportability.\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, Data Analytics, HRIS, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. A Master's degree in a related field is preferred. Microsoft certifications such as PL-400, PL-500, PL-600, AZ-204, AZ-305, or DP-600 are a plus.\nCompensation\nThis information reflects the anticipated base salary range for this position based on current national data.
