Process Automation Developer

Process Automation Developer

Create scalable Power Platform solutions that optimize food movement at a national scale.

Who We Are:

US Cold owns and operates one of the most complex temperature-controlled logistics networks in North America. Every day, our systems coordinate the storage and movement of food on a national scale across a network of state-of-the-art distribution centers, including multiple highly automated warehouse facilities.

We continue to advance our core warehouse and logistics platforms. Our current focus is on modular, event-driven, API-first and cloud architecture. We continue to enhance reliability and accelerate engineering productivity by strengthening our SRE and AI practices. This is a large investment in innovation to continue to drive operational excellence at our facilities.

If you want to build durable systems that operate in the physical world at scale, this is that opportunity.

The Role

We are hiring a Power Platform Developer to build low-code solutions and automated workflows that streamline and standardize processes across cold storage and temperature‑controlled warehouse operations. This role focuses on reducing manual effort, improving data accuracy, increasing process visibility.

You will help modernize the digital and decision‑support backbone.

You will build durable, production‑grade Power Platform solutions—apps and automations.

You will enable reliable, day‑to‑day operations by standardizing and automating critical workflows.

What You Will Own

• Design and development of scalable low‑code/no‑code solutions using Microsoft Power Platform, including Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, and Power Pages.

• Requirements translation, partnering with business stakeholders to gather, analyze, and convert needs into clear technical specifications and application designs.

• Integrated solution development and customization, ensuring adherence to best practices, performance optimization, platform capabilities, and solution architecture standards.

• Solution documentation, including technical diagrams, support materials, and training content for implemented solutions.

• Exception handling, alerting, and auditability for critical operational and compliance‑driven processes.

• Application lifecycle management, including solution packaging, versioning, environment strategy, and deployments across dev, test, and prod environments.

• Technical leadership and mentorship, supporting and enabling citizen developers across the organization.

• Governance adherence, ensuring solutions align with established low‑code/no‑code standards, frameworks, and organizational guidelines.

• Platform evolution, evaluating emerging low‑code/no‑code technologies and recommending adoption based on business value and industry trends.

• Cross‑functional collaboration with infrastructure and security teams to ensure solutions are secure, scalable, and performant.

• Solution quality and reliability, participating in solution reviews, performance tuning, production support, and continuous improvement efforts.

Why this role is different

You’ll help power live warehouses, moving freight, and real decisions—improving how the business operates every single day.

·         You will help modernize the digital and decision‑support backbone of a company that moves food at a national scale.

• You will shape durable, production‑grade business intelligence—clear definitions, trusted metrics, and decision frameworks that work under real‑world constraints, not slideware or one‑off analyses.
