Senior Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain (F&O) Technical Architect

What you'll do:

• Own the technical architecture of our Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain (F&O) landscape, with a focus on the Procurement and Sales cycles.
• Define and maintain the target architecture, extension strategy, and technical standards for F&O, ensuring customizations stay upgrade-safe and maintainable.
• Lead technical delivery of implementations, rollouts, and migrations, from solution design through cutover and hypercare, including migrations from legacy systems to D365 F&O and rollouts to new markets and legal entities.
• Design and run data migration strategies using the Data Management Framework (DMF), covering mapping, validation, reconciliation, and performance at volume.
• Architect, design, and govern integrations between D365 F&O and third-party or legacy systems, choosing the right patterns (APIs, events, batch, middleware) for reliable, scalable, and monitored data flows.
• Own the technical infrastructure: environment strategy, Azure services, Power Platform Admin Center (PPAC), Lifecycle Services (LCS) management, and CI/CD and ALM pipelines (Azure DevOps) for safe, repeatable releases.
• Plan and lead One Version updates, quality updates, and platform upgrades, including regression strategy and release readiness.
• Drive performance, security, and observability: tuning, monitoring, alerting, and the security framework (roles, duties, privileges, and data access).
• Work with Consultants, Product Owners, and business stakeholders to turn requirements into sound technical designs, and run design and code reviews to uphold quality standards.
• Stay hands-on with critical X++ components, resolve complex technical issues, and create technical documentation behind key decisions.
• Evaluate ISVs and new platform capabilities, making clear build-versus-buy recommendations.

Who we are looking for:

• 8+ years of technical experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain (formerly AX), including experience as a technical architect or technical lead on full implementations.
• Proven track record leading large-scale D365 F&O implementations and migrations end-to-end.
• Hands-on experience within the Procurement and Sales cycles.

Architecture & Platform

• Deep knowledge of the D365 F&O architecture and extensibility model (Chain of Command, event handlers, extensions over overlayering).
• Strong proficiency in X++, including SysOperation, set-based operations, DMF, and the security framework.
• Experience defining environment strategy and deployment topology (dev, test, UAT, production).
• Solid understanding of performance diagnosis and optimization in F&O.

Azure, Cloud & DevOps

• Strong Azure knowledge, including Azure Functions, Service Bus, Logic Apps, Data Lake, and Azure AD (service principals, managed identities).
• Experience building and governing CI/CD pipelines and ALM practices in Azure DevOps (build automation, model and package deployment, release management).
• Experience with LCS and Power Platform Admin Center.
• Experience with monitoring, telemetry, and alerting for production systems.

Integration & Data

• Experience designing enterprise integrations with middleware platforms, including error handling, retry logic, and monitoring.
• Solid understanding of API design and consumption (REST/SOAP, JSON/XML), authentication (OAuth 2.0, Azure AD), and secure data exchange.
• Experience with data migration strategy, from legacy ERP to D365 F&O, covering cleansing, mapping, load, and reconciliation.
• Knowledge of Microsoft Power Platform (Power Automate, PowerApps, Power BI).

ISV & Ecosystem Knowledge

• Understanding of key Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) within the Dynamics ecosystem, and how to assess and integrate them.

Soft Skills

• Technical leadership through influence; set direction and standards without managing a team.
• Clear communicator who explains architecture decisions to both technical and business audiences.
• Able to work independently and proactively, balancing long-term architecture with delivery deadlines.
• Strong prioritization, problem-solving, and troubleshooting abilities.
• Results-oriented, with a focus on reliable, well-documented delivery.
