Full-time • Manager
Hybrid • Aliso Viejo, CA

THE ROLE: The Manager, Application Solution Architecture will lead the end‑to‑end architecture, engineering, and governance of scalable, secure solutions across the Microsoft ecosystem (Azure, Microsoft 365, Power Platform, Microsoft Fabric, Dynamics/Dataverse, .NET). This is a player‑coach role: you will both define the architecture and build critical components yourself—writing production‑quality code, establishing patterns, and guiding a small team of engineers and analysts to deliver measurable business outcomes.

  • Serve as hands‑on architect for solutions spanning Azure (App Service, Functions, Service Bus/Event Grid, Key Vault), Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI), Microsoft 365 (SharePoint, Teams, Graph), Dynamics 365/Dataverse, and .NET (C#).
  • Translate cross‑functional business processes into technical designs: domain/data models, sequence and flow diagrams, non‑functional requirements, SLAs/SLOs, and operational runbooks aligned to SDLC and change‑control policy.
  • Design and implement integrations between Dataverse/Dynamics and internal/external systems using Azure Functions, Logic Apps and custom connectors; choose API‑ or event‑driven patterns as appropriate.
  • Lead Dataverse data modeling and security: table/entity design, relationships, business rules, field‑level security, teams, and role assignments following least‑privilege and separation‑of‑duties principles.
  • Establish and maintain multi‑environment ALM (dev/test/UAT/prod) with managed solutions, solution segmentation, and CI/CD (Azure DevOps or GitHub) with approvals, quality gates, and rollback strategies.
  • Build and review production code: Power Apps (canvas/model‑driven, PCF where needed), Power Automate cloud/desktop flows, .NET APIs/services, front‑end components (TypeScript/React), and infrastructure as code (Bicep/Terraform).
  • Operationalize analytics pipelines (e.g., Azure Synapse Link/OneLake) in partnership with Data/BI teams to deliver governed, analytics‑ready data for reporting and monitoring.
  • Define and enforce coding/configuration standards (naming, solution layering, connector usage, error handling, telemetry); curate reusable frameworks, templates, and reference implementations.
  • Conduct architecture and design reviews; mentor developers, BAs, and citizen makers; provide internal training and maintain documentation and knowledge bases.
  • Lead security and compliance reviews (access, data handling, audit readiness), support assessments relevant to Azure/M365/Dynamics control domains and ensure adherence to data governance and DLP policies.
  • Coordinate with platform owners (e.g., Dynamics/ERP, Finance, Operations) to align solutions to platform roadmaps, operational processes (approvals, vendor workflows, financial postings), and integration contracts.
  • Recruit, develop, and performance‑manage a high‑performing engineering team; cultivate a culture of craftsmanship, curiosity, and continuous improvement.
  • B.S./B.A. in Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • 7+ years of progressive software engineering/solution architecture experience, including 2+ years in a lead or managerial capacity.
  • Deep, hands‑on experience building on Microsoft technologies: Power Platform, Dataverse/Dynamics 365 .NET/C#, Azure services.
  • Experience with DevOps toolchains (Azure DevOps or GitHub), automated testing, and infrastructure as code (Bicep/Terraform).
  • Strong object‑oriented programming and solution design skills; able to move fluidly between conceptual architecture and low‑level implementation details.
  • Preferred certifications (nice to have): Microsoft Certified: Power Platform Solution Architect Expert; Azure Solutions Architect Expert; Azure Developer Associate.
