About the Opportunity:
Our client, a leader in AI Logistics, is looking for a skilled Microsoft API Consultant
to join their team for a 4-8 weeks engagement. This project involves researching and implementing a technical prototype leveraging Microsoft's enterprise APIs to enhance the client’s data protection and recovery capabilities. This is a high-impact role that requires a self-motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.
Key Responsibilities & Deliverables:
This role is focused on the successful completion of specific tasks and deliverables. Your responsibilities will include:
- Functional PoC: Deliver a working codebase demonstrating data extraction, analysis, and transfer for high volumes of unstructured data using Microsoft APIs.
- Performance & Scalability Report: Produce detailed documentation on throughput results, latency, and the specific limitations/quotas of the APIs encountered during testing.
- Technical Design Doc: Create a concise architecture document outlining the "how" and "why" behind your implementation.
- Executive Summary: Provide a final presentation/briefing of findings and recommendations for Engineering Leadership.
- API Deep-Diving: Navigate complex Microsoft documentation to identify the most efficient endpoints for data movement and security telemetry.
We are looking for someone with a proven track record of successful contract engagements. The ideal candidate will have:
- Experience in a similar software consulting or engineering role.
- Deep expertise in Microsoft Graph API, including advanced data extraction and metadata analysis across M365 (SharePoint, Teams, Exchange, OneDrive). This isn't a learning role—you need to be a subject matter expert.
- Demonstrated ability to work autonomously and manage your own time effectively to meet project goals.
- Experience with:
- Optimizing for high-volume unstructured data transfer while navigating API limits.
- Rapid prototyping to transition high-level research goals into a functional codebase that proves feasibility.
- Proactively identifying where Microsoft throttling or permission structures (Entra ID) will impact scale.
- Strong communication skills to provide clear and concise status updates to the project team.
