Technical Solutions Architect

About the role

The Technical Solutions Architect plays a senior, hands-on role within Hermanson Company's IT team, focusing on building and extending business application solutions across Microsoft Dynamics 365, the Power Platform, and integrated custom development. This role reports to the CIO in the IT Department and collaborates closely with the existing Senior Solutions Architect.

Responsibilities

• Solution Architecture & Design
  • Make well-reasoned design decisions, weighing configuration, extension, and custom development to select the right approach for each requirement.
  • Apply and help refine technical standards for maintainability, performance, security, and supportability.
  • Contribute to architectural patterns and roadmaps aligned to business objectives.
• Application Development & Customization
  • Support, configure, and extend the portfolio of production model-driven and canvas applications.
  • Develop server-side plugins, custom workflow activities, web resources, and client-side scripting.
  • Create custom components, services, and automation where platform configuration alone is insufficient.
  • Write readable, maintainable, well-documented code that the team can confidently extend.
• Integration & Data Flow Design
  • Build and maintain integrations across Dynamics 365, Dataverse, Azure services, and external line-of-business systems.
  • Build and maintain integration patterns, including Dual-write, REST and Web APIs, and event-driven automation.
  • Contribute to integration design decisions as system boundaries continue to evolve.
  • Ensure data integrity and process fidelity across connected systems.
• Platform Migration & Modernization
  • Contribute to platform migration and modernization initiatives across the application portfolio.
  • Map legacy business processes to modern platform capabilities, making sound build, buy, and configure decisions rather than recreating legacy designs by default.
  • Partner with data migration owners, focusing on platform and process fidelity while they handle the data mechanics.
• ALM, DevOps & Delivery
  • Work within and help strengthen solution layering, environment strategy (DEV / UAT / PROD), and deployment pipelines.
  • Apply source control, CI/CD, and release management practices using Azure DevOps and GitHub.
  • Support structured incremental delivery across testing, UAT, and production stabilization.
• Platform Expansion & Future Readiness
  • Help expand capabilities beyond the current Dynamics 365 and Power Platform footprint into the broader Microsoft cloud and custom development stack.
  • Evaluate and recommend new technologies, languages, and tools aligned with strategic direction.
  • Contribute to the team’s engineering standards and culture, and support the development of more junior team members.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of hands-on experience designing and developing business application solutions on the Microsoft stack.
• Proven experience with Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (model-driven app design: forms, views, business rules, security roles), Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate cloud flows, Dataverse), Solution architecture and ALM (managed and unmanaged layering, publisher strategy, environment management), and Integration design (REST and Web APIs, Dataverse, event-driven automation).
• Strong development skills across C#, .NET (plugins, custom workflow activities, services), JavaScript and TypeScript (client-side scripting and web resources), SQL (querying and data shaping), PowerShell, and Power Fx.
• Experience reading, extending, and maintaining existing solutions, not only greenfield builds.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills across technical and business teams.
