• API Management: Manage and utilize D365 web services and APIs (OData, Custom Service) for bi-directional data exchange.

3. Technical Governance & Environment Support

• Code Review: Participate in peer code reviews to ensure coding standards, security, and quality are maintained across the development team.
• Deployment & DevOps: Manage code versioning, branching, merging, and deployment activities through Azure DevOps, adhering to Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.
• Environment Support: Provide technical support for D365 environments (Dev, Test, Prod), assisting with build management, hotfixes, patching, and general environment health monitoring.

Qualifications

Required Technical & Functional Skills

• D365 Technical Depth: Minimum 4 years of dedicated experience in D365 F&O technical development, specifically with X++ programming, customizing forms, tables, classes, and business logic.
• Integration Technologies: Strong hands-on experience with D365 integration patterns, including Data Management Framework (DMF), OData services, and Azure integration services (e.g., Azure Service Bus, Function Apps).
• Reporting: Proficiency with SSRS (creating and modifying D365 reports) and working knowledge of Electronic Reporting (ER) and Data Entities.
• DevOps: Experience with Azure DevOps for source control (Git), work item tracking, and release management processes for D365.
• Database Skills: Solid understanding of SQL Server and T-SQL, particularly related to the D365 database structure, data entities, and query optimization.

Desired Non-Technical Competencies

• Systematic Problem Solving: Ability to diagnose and resolve complex technical issues in an integrated ERP environment under time pressure.
• Collaboration: Excellent teamwork skills to align technical delivery with functional requirements and project timelines set by the Project Manager.
• Continuous Learning: Demonstrated willingness to stay current with Microsoft D365 platform updates, new features, and changes in the technical landscape.
• Clarity in Communication: Ability to clearly document technical designs and explain complex technical issues to non-technical stakeholders (Functional Consultants, Business Users).
