Principal Software Engineer Jobs in Raleigh, NC (NOW HIRING)

WHO are we looking for?

CAPTRUST is seeking a highly skilled and self-driven Senior Specialist Software Engineer to serve as a technical expert in designing and building scalable, cloud-native applications. This role is ideal for an experienced developer who thrives on solving complex problems, driving technical excellence, and delivering high-impact solutions using Microsoft Azure, C#, and TypeScript.

• Design and deliver extensions to Dynamics 365 (e.g., custom entities/tables, business rules, plugins, workflows, client scripting) to support business processes with maintainable, well-tested solutions.
• Build and operate Azure-based integration services (e.g., Azure Functions, App Service, Logic Apps) that connect Dynamics 365 with internal systems and third-party vendors.
• Design APIs and event-driven integrations that are secure, observable, and resilient; partner with stakeholders to clarify requirements and translate them into technical designs.
• Own technical designs for your area: write design notes, run design reviews, and make pragmatic tradeoffs (time, risk, performance, maintainability).
• Deliver end-to-end features from discovery through production: implementation, automated tests, deployment pipelines, and documentation/hand-off.
• Improve data quality and performance across CRM and supporting services: SQL query tuning, schema design, data migration patterns, and integration reliability.
• Raise engineering quality through code reviews, pairing, and shared standards (testing strategy, CI/CD, security practices, observability, and operational readiness).
• Serve as an escalation point for complex production issues—debugging across Dynamics 365, Azure services, and data layers—and drive root-cause fixes.
• Mentor engineers and help grow platform capability through documentation, demos, and coaching; model strong engineering habits and inclusive collaboration.
• Partner closely with admins, architects, product owners, and business stakeholders to plan roadmaps, manage technical debt, and deliver incremental value. 

Minimum Qualifications:

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience building and operating production systems.
• Strong proficiency with C#/.NET for backend development and integrations.
• Experience extending and customizing a modern CRM platform—Dynamics 365 strongly preferred (e.g., plugins, workflows/automation, customization, integrations).
• Cloud experience in Azure, AWS, or GCP, with the ability to design cloud-native solutions; this role operates in Azure day-to-day.
• Working knowledge of TypeScript/JavaScript (used for Dynamics client scripting and/or serverless/integration components where appropriate).
• Experience with Git and CI/CD, and comfort working in an iterative Agile environment; able to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical partners. 

Desired Qualifications/Skills:

• Deep Dynamics 365 and Dataverse experience (solution design, security roles, ALM for solutions, environment strategy).
• Experience with Microsoft Power Platform (Power Automate, Power Apps) and integration patterns that complement Dynamics 365.
• Strong SQL skills (schema design, query optimization) and familiarity with data integration/migration practices.
• Azure implementation experience with services such as Azure Functions, Logic Apps, App Service, Service Bus, Key Vault, and Application Insights (or equivalent services in other clouds).
• Demonstrated technical leadership as an IC (e.g., leading design reviews, mentoring, improving engineering practices). Microsoft certifications (AZ-204, PL-400, AZ-305) are a plus, not a requirement.
