Dynamics 365 CRM Developer

Role Overview

Our client is implementing and scaling Microsoft Dynamics 365 across the organization and is building an internal technical capability to support it. The Dynamics 365 CRM (Customer Engagement) Developer will work side by side with departmental key users and functional leads to understand business needs, translate them into well-documented technical requirements, and deliver the customizations, automations, and integrations that bring those requirements to life on the Dynamics 365 platform.

This is a hands-on, in-house role focused on long-term ownership of the solution — from gathering and documenting requirements through to development, testing, deployment, and ongoing support and enhancement.

Key Responsibilities

Requirements & Technical Design

• Engage with key users and business stakeholders to gather, analyze, and document functional and technical requirements.
• Translate functional requirements into Technical Design Documents (TDDs), solution specifications, and effort estimates.
• Challenge and refine requirements to ensure solutions are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with Dynamics 365 best practices.

Development & Configuration

• Configure and customize Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement modules (Sales, Customer Service, and others as adopted).
• Develop plug-ins, custom workflow activities, and custom assemblies in C#/.NET.
• Build JavaScript/TypeScript web resources, business rules, and Power Apps Component Framework (PCF) controls.
• Create model-driven and canvas Power Apps and automate processes with Power Automate flows.
• Design and extend the Dataverse data model (tables, relationships, business rules, security roles).

Integration

• Design and build integrations between Dynamics 365 CE and other systems — including Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations — using the Web API, Dual-write, Azure Functions, and Logic Apps.
• Implement and maintain secure, reliable data exchange and error-handling patterns.

Quality, Deployment & Support

• Manage solution lifecycle (ALM): solution packaging and deployment across development, test, and production using Azure DevOps.
• Perform unit testing, support System Integration Testing (SIT) and User Acceptance Testing (UAT), and resolve defects.
• Provide post-go-live support, troubleshooting, and continuous enhancements.
• Maintain accurate technical documentation and contribute to an internal knowledge base.
• Enforce data quality, security, and governance standards.
