STAAND is a person-centric, AI-enabled platform built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 and the Power Platform hosted in a Government Community Cloud (GCC) tenant, with Azure services operating in Microsoft's commercial cloud. It supports social workers, supervisors, private agency partners, providers, resource parents, and District sister agencies across nine functional modules — Intake and Investigations, Case Management, ICPC, Finance (Contracts, Service Logs, and Fiscal), Provider, Eligibility and Subsidy, Placement, Services, and Management Reports — plus six external portals (Mandated Reporter, MPD, NYTD, OSSE, Resource Parent, and Community).

This is a build-and-design role, not an advisory or oversight role. The Resource is expected to personally configure, code, prototype, review, and troubleshoot in the platform while serving as the credible technical voice to executive leadership, STAAND Product Team, Microsoft, and Federal Partners (ACF/Children's Bureau).Compensation: $100.00 - $105.00 per hour
