D365 Senior Architect - Contract

At NCS Australia, we believe in doing technology services better. Our commitment to quality, focus on people, and willingness to challenge traditional thinking set us apart. Our team brings this belief to life by partnering with our clients and communities to make tomorrow together.

We are committed to creating an environment that prioritises innovation, collaboration, and purposeful work. Our diverse team is empowered to make a meaningful impact with curiosity, creativity and resilience to shape better outcomes. Join us and accept the challenge of creating a better tomorrow.

We are seeking a highly skilled and technical D365 Senior Architect for a critical 6-month contract engagement. 

This is not just a high-level design role; we need a "player-coach" who is comfortable moving between architectural strategy and getting "under the hood" to solve complex technical challenges. You will be responsible for ensuring the scalability, integrity, and performance of a D365 environment while working closely with stakeholders to translate business requirements into robust technical solutions.

While the project is headquartered in Perth, we are offering full remote flexibility for the right candidate

• Project Delivery Excellence: We require an architect with a proven track record of end-to-end Microsoft D365 project delivery. You understand the nuances of the project lifecycle—from discovery and design through to UAT, cutover, and post-go-live support.

• Solution Blueprinting: Own the technical roadmap. You will validate that the proposed architecture handles high data volumes and complex multi-entity requirements without compromising performance.

• "In-the-Trenches" Engineering: Support the development team by tackling the most complex "blockers." This includes custom plug-in development, intricate workflow automation, and resolving deep-seated integration bugs.

• Integration Strategy: Design and oversee the implementation of robust integration patterns using Azure Integration Services (AIS), ensuring seamless data flow between D365, internal ERPs, and external third-party APIs.

• Performance Tuning: Conduct deep-dive audits of the existing environment to identify latency issues, optimize API limits, and ensure the system is "future-proofed" for scalability.

• Governance & DevOps: Establish and enforce best practices for ALM (Application Lifecycle Management) using Azure DevOps, ensuring automated deployment pipelines are reliable and secure.
