What You’ll Need • 7–10 years of experience designing and delivering enterprise applications using Microsoft technologies. • 4+ years of recent, hands-on experience with Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations/AX, Customer Engagement, Dataverse, or related Dynamics 365 applications. • Technical leadership experience on at least two full-cycle Dynamics 365 implementations, from solution design through production deployment. • Strong hands-on knowledge of Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations extensibility, including X++, extensions, data entities, Data Management Framework (DMF), batch processing, security, and environment management. • Experience with Power Platform, Dataverse, REST/OData APIs, Azure integration services, and ALM. • Experience designing and troubleshooting enterprise integrations across Dynamics 365 and external systems. • Experience with source control, CI/CD pipelines, automated deployments, code reviews, testing practices, and release management. • Relevant Microsoft Dynamics 365, Power Platform, or Azure certifications. • Ability to evaluate technical alternatives and make pragmatic architecture decisions based on scalability, maintainability, security, performance, and delivery constraints. • Stron
