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.
