RoleSummary: As a Senior Power Platform / Dynamics Developer (SFIA Level 4 – Enable), you enable high quality delivery by applying strong platform engineering practices, guiding peers, and contributing to the design and implementation of complex business solutions within defined project or programme scopes.

You exercise substantial responsibility for your own work under general direction—applying agreed architectures, development standards, and secure coding practices specific to Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Power Platform.

You investigate and help resolve complex platform issues, mentor less experienced developers, and contribute specialist expertise to requirements clarification, risk identification, and incremental improvement while escalating decisions beyond your accountability framework when required.

• Develop custom plugins, custom workflow activities, and custom API integrations using C#, Microsoft Graph and the Dataverse SDK.
• Implement and enhance ALM (Application Lifecycle Management) practices using Power Platform Build Tools and Azure DevOps within project constraints.
• Conduct solution reviews and support quality assurance practices, promoting agreed standards and identifying improvement opportunities.
• Evaluate emerging Power Platform capabilities and provide evidence‑based recommendations for potential adoption.
• Investigate and help resolve complex platform‑related issues; contribute to sustainable solution patterns and elevate issues that exceed defined scope.
• Contribute to planning and execution of testing strategies including automated testing with Test Engine and user acceptance testing.
• Support pre‑sales activities by preparing technical demonstrations and participating in client presentations under guidance from Principal/Lead roles.
• Provide feedback to improve team capability and delivery practices; contribute to incremental process improvements.
• Apply agile technical practices and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives within Power Platform development.
• Plan, schedule, and monitor own work to meet time and quality targets; await escalation of issues beyond defined accountability boundaries promptly.
• Identify technical risks early, propose mitigation options, and provide specialist input to clarify and refine business requirements.
• Maintain and actively develop professional skills in Microsoft technologies; share knowledge through pairing, reviews, and informal coaching.

Personal Attributes

• Strong communicator able to engage effectively with business stakeholders at all levels and present complex platform solutions clearly.
• Works autonomously while fostering collaboration and mentoring team members effectively.
• Highly reliable professional with strong attention to detail and commitment to high standards in business solution delivery.
• Excellent organisational skills with ability to prioritise and manage multiple complex platform projects and technical initiatives.
• Proactive developer who identifies opportunities for business process improvement and promotes adoption of platform best practices.
• Analytical problem‑solver who can design solutions to complex business challenges within defined scope using platform capabilities.
• Positive leadership attitude with strong work ethic and commitment to delivering exceptional business solutions.
• Security‑aware professional with solid understanding of Dataverse security model, role‑based security, and enterprise security requirements; engages specialists when appropriate.
