• Translate business requirements into scalable, secure, and resilient technical designs, balancing out-of-the-box Dynamics capabilities with custom development and data solutions.

• Define, document, and enforce engineering standards, patterns, and best practices across Dynamics, integration, and data pipelines.

• Serve as the escalation point for complex technical issues, production incidents, and cross-system defects spanning CRM, APIs, and data platforms.

• Lead the design and implementation of Dynamics 365 Sales & Service features, including core entities (Leads, Opportunities, Accounts, Contacts, Cases, Queues, SLAs, Activities).

• Oversee and develop advanced JavaScript for form logic, validations, and user experience enhancements

• Design and implement server-side logic using plug-ins, custom workflow activities, and Custom Action APIs

• Build and govern Power Automate flows supporting sales processes, case management, and service automation

• Ensure data modeling, security, and access control in Dataverse align with enterprise standards and regulatory requirements.

• Lead the design and implementation of integrations between Dynamics 365 and up & downstream systems, using REST APIs, GraphQL, Supergraph, and Event driven patterns, ingesting data from various sources across AWS Data lake, S3, CDP and Enterprise databases.

• Create/oversee pipelines and transformations in Microsoft Fabric (ingestion, orchestration, data shaping)

• Ensure performance, reliability, and data quality across all integrations, including monitoring, alerting, and automated recovery where appropriate.

• Partner with data engineering and analytics teams to ensure Dynamics 365 data is curated and modeled for downstream consumption in semantic models, and BI tools.

• Collaborate with platform and solution architects on environment strategy, solution layering, and ALM for Dynamics and integration components.

• Champion secure-by-design and compliant-by-default practices, including data protection, access control, logging, and auditability.

• Contribute to and enforce governance standards for API usage, event topics, schema management, and data contracts.

• Collaborate closely with product owners, architects, and business stakeholders to prioritize work, clarify trade-offs, and ensure solutions are tied to measurable outcomes.

• Mentor and guide engineers. Provide clear technical direction to onshore/offshore teams and partner vendors, ensuring consistent implementation quality.

• Participate in and lead design reviews, code reviews, and technical forums, driving continuous improvement in engineering practices.

• Support testing, deployment, and production readiness activities, including non-functional testing (performance, resiliency, security).
