A lead developer leads development on one or a small number of related project teams.

Key Accountabilities

• Collaborate within an agile team and lead the development of digital products using D365

CRM, .NET/C# and Azure services, ensuring efficient, modular and maintainable code.

• Produce testable code complete with unit and integration tests.

• Establish and enforce coding standards, engineering practices and CI/CD approaches

across D365 and related integrations.

• Define and establish reusable engineering patterns, shared components and solution

templates across D365 and Power Platform to ensure consistency, scalability and

accelerated delivery.

• Make clear technical decisions regarding use of plugins, custom APIs, Azure Functions,

Service Bus and other distributed components.

• Define integration and architectural patterns in collaboration with Solutions Architects.

• Ensure D365 solutions align with MaPS engineering standards, DevOps practices and

architectural governance.

• Build and manage Azure resources (e.g., Azure Functions, Logic Apps, Key Vault, API

• Leverage Azure Service Bus topics and queues to orchestrate asynchronous workflows

and

decouple services.

• Use Terraform for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to provision and manage cloud

environments.

• Release code and D365 solutions via Azure DevOps pipelines.

• Implement robust logging, monitoring and observability patterns across D365 and Azure

components.

• Build in accordance with GDS Service Standards and Secure by Design Principles.

• Line manage and mentor two D365 developers, supporting capability growth and

performance.

• Promote collaborative engineering culture and reduce reliance on external suppliers.

• Document technical designs, configurations, and deployment procedures to support

maintainability and knowledge transfer.

Essential:

• Strong C# / .NET engineering background, with experience building enterprise-grade,

maintainable and testable solutions.

• Extensive experience customising and extending Dynamics 365 CRM, including plugins,

SDK, Web API and Dataverse.

• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Power Platform tools (Power Automate, Power Apps,

Dataverse) used in conjunction with custom code and integrations in enterprise

environments.

• Experience designing and implementing Azure-based integrations, including Azure

Functions, Service Bus and API integrations within distributed architectures.

• Experience leading engineers or technical workstreams, including setting coding

standards,

mentoring developers and contributing to architectural decisions.

Desirable:

• Experience integrating with Genesys APIs or similar contact centre platforms.

• Experience with Customer Service, Sales and Marketing modules.

• Experience configuring and customising D365 CRM components (workflows, dashboards,

forms, views, reports) with an understanding of when configuration is appropriate versus

custom code or external services.
