  • Conduct code reviews, solution reviews and technical peer reviews to ensure quality and consistency.

  • Establish and promote reusable development patterns, shared components and solution templates across Dynamics 365 and Power Platform.

  • Ensure custom development is used appropriately, and that out-of-the-box/configuration-first approaches are considered before introducing unnecessary custom code.

  • Identify technical debt and recommend improvements to existing Dynamics 365 customisations and configurations.

  • Work closely with Solution Architects, Business Analysts, Product Owners, Testers, DevOps engineers and other technical teams.

  • Maintain and improve the Dynamics 365 ALM approach and propose changes to solution designs in collaboration with Solution Architects, obtaining approval through technical governance forums where required.

  • Provide technical oversight of Dynamics 365 and Power Platform integrations, collaborating with Solution Architects and integration engineers to ensure proposed solutions are technically appropriate, secure, resilient and aligned with architectural standards.

  • Maintain working knowledge of Azure Functions, Logic Apps, Service Bus, API Management, Entra ID/OAuth and Application Insights to support Dynamics-related integrations.

  • Support data migration, data quality and integration activities involving Dataverse.

  • Maintain and review the Dynamics 365 security model in accordance with organisational security policies and best practices, liaising with the Information Security team where required.

  • Work with DevOps teams to establish and improve Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines for Dynamics 365 and Power Platform deployments.
