Lead Software Developer - Dynamics 365 & Power Platform
Location - London (2-3 days in office)
Salary - £90,000 (20% bonus, plus attractive benefits)
Are you a seasoned Microsoft Business Applications engineer with proven experience leading developers and shaping technical direction? This organisation is bringing ownership of its Microsoft estate fully in-house - and they need a strong technical leader to take control.
This is not a start-up, chaotic rebuild, or messy transformation. The environment is stable, mature, and well-engineered , with solid DevOps foundations already in place (including Terraform). The business is long-term focused, stakeholders are engaged, and politics are low. Now they want someone embedded internally to set direction, raise standards, and truly own the platform.
? Why This Role Exists
The organisation wants full, internal ownership of its Dynamics 365 and Power Platform estate.
This role is central to that mission. You will:
Shape long-term technical direction
Influence architecture and engineering decisions
Raise development standards
Mentor and guide a small team of developers
Act as the internal SME for Microsoft Business Applications
This is not a ticket-delivery role. It's ownership .
? Role Overview
As the Lead Software Developer , you will:
Lead a small squad of 2-3 developers
Remain hands-on with engineering
Play a pivotal role in how the platform evolves
75% of your time on Power Platform and Dataverse , under proper engineering discipline
You'll sit between architecture and delivery - setting standards, influencing design, and ensuring the business gets scalable, maintainable, enterprise-grade solutions.
? What They Actually Want
This is a role for a Microsoft Business Applications engineer , not a low-code configurator.
They do not want:
Basic Power Apps builders
Canvas-only backgrounds
Pure functional consultants
They do want:
Strong Dynamics 365 CE engineering experience
Deep, working knowledge of Dataverse
Solid C# engineering capability
Experience building plugins, custom logic, and integrations
Enterprise-level experience delivering complex solutions
Familiarity with Azure DevOps and structured delivery practices
? Leadership Expectations
You will be an embedded technical leader, responsible for:
Setting engineering standards and best practice
Mentoring and developing 2-3 engineers
Contributing to architectural direction
Acting as the team's go-to SME
Representing engineering decisions to stakeholders
The role requires clear evidence of previous experience leading a development team - guiding people, coaching them, and raising capability.
? The Environment
Not a start-up, not chaotic, not political
Mature infrastructure and DevOps foundations already in place
Stakeholders are engaged and business-facing
Long-term, stable organisation with a strategic roadmap
Moving away from consultancy dependency to build internal capability
If you want a role where you can genuinely own a Microsoft estate, lead a capable team, and shape the technical direction for years to come, this environment offers exactly that.
