About the role

  • Lead CI/CD practices for Dynamics 365, Power Platform, and related Azure components, driving consistent and reliable releases.
  • Manage solution builds, packaging, and deployments across Dev, Test, UAT, and Production using Azure DevOps and proven ALM methods.
  • Review and validate environment configurations, layering (managed/unmanaged), patch strategies, and dependencies for D365 apps, Dataverse, plugins, and integrations.
  • Ensure version consistency, connection references, environment variables, and API dependencies are aligned for each release.
  • Troubleshoot complex release issues such as solution import errors, plugin exceptions, or schema conflicts, and establish long-term prevention tactics.
  • Support change control by ensuring all Change Requests include accurate release notes, dependency documentation, and the required approvals aligned with governance standards.
  • Use Power Platform tools (Solution Checker, Plugin Trace Logs, Dataverse telemetry, Azure Application Insights) to diagnose and resolve deployment issues.
  • Champion automation by building and maintaining Azure DevOps Pipelines or GitHub Actions for exports, validation, versioning, and deployment.
  • Collaborate with Dynamics developers, architects, integration teams, and functional consultants to coordinate cross-system releases involving Azure APIs, Power Automate, and Power Pages.
  • Continuously improve release governance, environment management, and ALM practices to support a sustainable D365 delivery model.

  • 8–10 years in release engineering or DevOps, including at least 5 years focused on Microsoft Dynamics 365.
  • Proven experience with CI/CD using GitHub or Azure DevOps for D365 and Power Platform ALM.

  • Hands-on experience deploying and troubleshooting D365 components—Dataverse, plugins, workflows, Power Automate flows, PCF controls, and integrations.
  • Deep knowledge of Power Platform ALM principles (solution segmentation, environment variables, connection references, publisher strategies, versioning).
  • Skilled in analyzing import logs, trace logs, and telemetry data to pinpoint and resolve root causes.
  • Familiarity with structured change control processes and governance frameworks—especially in regulated or federal environments.
  • Detail-oriented problem solver who thrives in complex system environments.
