Custom Development & Technical Delivery

• Design, develop, test, and deploy custom X++ code, extensions, and modifications within D365 F&O following best-practice extension-first principles.
• Lead development efforts for custom business logic, workflows, forms, data entities, reports, and batch processes within D365.
• Own the full code lifecycle from requirements analysis and design through development, peer review, testing, and production promotion.
• Ensure all custom development is version-controlled, documented, and maintainable, minimizing technical debt and long-term sustainability risk.
• Champion a 'standard-first' development philosophy, working with business partners to configure standard D365 functionality wherever possible before pursuing custom development.

Integrations & ISV Module Support

• Lead development and maintenance of integrations between D365 F&O and external systems, including design of data flows, APIs, and middleware solutions.

• Own and manage the D365 F&O development pipeline using Azure DevOps, including source control (Git), build pipelines, and automated deployment processes.
• Establish and maintain branching strategies, release management processes, and environment promotion workflows from Development through Test/QA to Production.
• Coordinate code deployments and release activities with the D365 Infrastructure Lead to ensure alignment with environment governance and update schedules.
• Implement and maintain automated build and test frameworks to improve deployment quality and reduce manual effort.
• Maintain deployment documentation, release notes, and rollback procedures for all custom code changes.

Policy, Standards & Continuous Improvement

• Define and maintain the development team's standards for coding, documentation, source control, testing, and peer review.
• Establish processes for solution design reviews, ensuring proposed custom development is evaluated against standard functionality before proceeding.
• Track and manage technical debt, proactively refactoring or retiring custom code where standard D365 functionality has evolved to meet the need.
• Stay current on Microsoft D365 F&O platform updates, new development capabilities, and deprecation notices, assessing impact on the custom codebase.
• Drive continuous improvement in team delivery velocity, code quality, and deployment reliability through tooling, process, and skills development.

Business Partnership & Solution Design

• Partner with finance, operations, and other business stakeholders to understand requirements and translate them into scalable, sustainable D365 solutions.
• Lead solution design discussions, presenting options that weigh standard configuration, low-code approaches, and custom development with honest sustainability trade-offs.
• Participate in D365 upgrade and roadmap planning, advising on the impact of platform changes to existing custom code and integrations.
• Support Business Analysts and functional leads during testing cycles, providing technical expertise and rapid issue resolution.
