No Matter what i do, I can't assign him generic "Contributor" access under Roles. Therefore my developer cannot create a Function App with the proper RBAC permissions.

The contributor role is present under the Privileged administrator roles tab:
Go to Subscriptions -> Select your subscription -> Add -> Add role assignment -> Click on Privileged administrator roles -> Contributor
And assign the role to the user.
If still the issue persists, check the below:
- Ensure you have Owner or User Access Administrator at the required scope (subscription/resource group), otherwise role assignment will fail
- Verify no deny assignments / Azure Policy restrictions blocking Contributor
Let me know if any further queries - feel free to reach out!
