D365 F&O Technical Architect

What you'll do:

• Own the technical architecture of our Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain (F&O) landscape, with a focus on the Procurement and Sales cycles.
• Define and maintain the target architecture, extension strategy, and technical standards for F&O, and make sure customizations stay upgrade-safe and maintainable.
• Lead technical delivery of implementations, rollouts, and migrations, from solution design through cutover and hypercare. This includes migrations from legacy systems to D365 F&O and rollouts to new markets and legal entities.
• Design and run data migration strategies using the Data Management Framework (DMF), covering mapping, validation, reconciliation, and performance at volume.
• Architect, design, and govern integrations between D365 F&O and third-party or legacy systems. You'll choose the right patterns (APIs, events, batch, middleware) to keep data flows reliable, scalable, and monitored.
• Own the technical infrastructure: environment strategy, Azure services, Power Platform Admin Center (PPAC) and Lifecycle Services (LCS) management, and the CI/CD and ALM pipelines (Azure DevOps) that support safe, repeatable releases.
• Plan and lead One Version updates, quality updates, and platform upgrades, including regression strategy and release readiness.
• Drive performance, security, and observability: tuning, monitoring, alerting, and the security framework (roles, duties, privileges, and data access).
• Work with Consultants, Product Owners, and business stakeholders to turn requirements into sound technical designs, and run design and code reviews to hold the quality bar.
• Stay hands-on where it matters: build and review critical X++ components, resolve complex technical issues, and create the technical documentation behind key decisions.
• Evaluate ISVs and new platform capabilities, and make clear build-versus-buy recommendations.

Who we are looking for:

• 8+ years of technical experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain (formerly AX), including experience as a technical architect or technical lead on full implementations
• Proven track record leading large-scale D365 F&O implementations and migrations end to end
• Hands-on experience within the Procurement and Sales cycles

Architecture & Platform

• Deep knowledge of the D365 F&O architecture and extensibility model (Chain of Command, event handlers, extensions over overlayering)
• Strong proficiency in X++, including SysOperation, set-based operations, the Data Management Framework (DMF), and the security framework
• Experience defining environment strategy and deployment topology (dev, test, UAT, production)
• Solid understanding of performance diagnosis and optimization in F&O

Azure, Cloud & DevOps

• Strong Azure knowledge, including Azure Functions, Service Bus, Logic Apps, Data Lake, and Azure AD (service principals, managed identities)
• Experience building and governing CI/CD pipelines and ALM practices in Azure DevOps (build automation, model and package deployment, release management)
• Experience with LCS and Power Platform Admin Center
• Experience with monitoring, telemetry, and alerting for production systems

Integration & Data

• Experience designing enterprise integrations with middleware platforms, including error handling, retry logic, and monitoring
• Solid understanding of API design and consumption (REST/SOAP, JSON/XML), authentication (OAuth 2.0, Azure AD), and secure data exchange
• Experience with data migration strategy, from legacy ERP to D365 F&O, covering cleansing, mapping, load, and reconciliation
• Microsoft Power Platform knowledge (Power Automate, PowerApps, Power BI)

ISV & Ecosystem Knowledge

• Understanding of key Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) within the Dynamics ecosystem, and how to assess and integrate them

Soft Skills

• Technical leadership through influence: you set direction and standards without needing a team to manage
• Clear communicator who can explain architecture decisions to both technical and business audiences
• Able to work independently and proactively, and to balance long-term architecture with delivery deadlines
• Strong prioritization, problem-solving, and troubleshooting abilities
• Results-oriented, with a focus on reliable, well-documented delivery

What we offer:

• Maturing Scale-Up: We're part of the 13-20% of start-ups that transition to scale-up. This is a rare stage where we refine systems without losing agility. It's where start-up energy meets scalable impact, and where people can build the next version of Emma.
• Empowerment to Impact: Every Emmie owns part of our success with accountability. It's about seeing it, owning it, doing it. We value it and measure it in development.
• Growth & Learning Journey: We live by the 70/20/10 model: 70% on the job, 20% from others, 10% structured training. We invest in your growth with trainings and coaching to get you to the top of your game.
• Emma-zing Community: We hire selectively, which means working with smart, collaborative people who care deeply. It's a community built by Emmies for Emmies.
• Next Level Global: With 70+ nationalities across 4 offices, global collaboration is part of our values. You'll work across cultures, perspectives, and time zones.
• Flexibility: Our Technology team's remote work policy allows for great flexibility. (Please note that the role requires being based in Portugal or Germany.)
