Lead Software Developer - Dynamics 365 & Power Platform
Location - London (2-3 days in office)
Salary - £% 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.
