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.
