Application Developer

Dynamics 365 CE / Dataverse Engineering

• Design, configure, and enhance Dynamics 365 CE / Dataverse solutions, including tables, relationships, forms, views, business rules, model-driven apps, security roles, and solution components.
• Build and maintain automation using Power Automate and Dataverse capabilities to enforce standards, streamline processes, and reduce manual intervention.
• Implement and support light-to-moderate custom development (e.g., plugins, custom actions, client-side scripting) where platform capabilities alone are insufficient.
• Troubleshoot platform, automation, and customization issues with a focus on root cause resolution and long-term stability.
• Manage solution lifecycle across environments (Dev/Test/Prod), including packaging, deployments, versioning, documentation, and rollback planning.

Data Quality & Governance

• Implement data quality controls such as validation rules, reference data enforcement, duplicate prevention/detection, and exception workflows.
• Define and monitor actionable data health metrics (e.g., completeness, duplicates, invalid values, stale records).
• Partner with business owners to improve upstream data entry practices and reduce data issues at the source.
• Document data standards and governance rules in ways that are enforceable, automated, and auditable.

Data Retention & Lifecycle Management

• Implement and operationalize data retention, archival, and disposition processes aligned with policy and compliance requirements.
• Create repeatable processes for bulk data remediation, archival, and controlled purge activities with appropriate approvals and auditability.
• Monitor data growth and proactively recommend actions to maintain Dataverse performance and cost efficiency.

Integrations & Platform Partnerships

• Design and support integrations between Dynamics 365 / Dataverse and external systems using appropriate patterns (APIs, scheduled, or event-based approaches).
• Ensure integration reliability through effective error handling, retries, idempotency, monitoring, and documented runbooks.
• Coincide with security and infrastructure teams on identity, service principals, access controls, and secure connectivity.
• Contribute to integration design within established enterprise patterns; this role is not the sole integration or enterprise architect.

Required Qualifications

• Proven experience engineering and supporting Microsoft Dynamics 365 CE and Dataverse, including data modeling, security, solutions, and environments.
• Strong hands-on experience with Power Automate, including flow design, triggers, approvals, error handling, and operational support.
• Working knowledge of data modeling and SQL concepts, with the ability to diagnose data integrity and integration issues.
• Experience operating within governed ALM / SDLC practices for Power Platform and Dynamics 365.
• Practical experience working with REST APIs and JSON-based integrations.
• Strong documentation, communication, and stakeholder collaboration skills, with the ability to translate business needs into enforceable system behavior.
