BGTS is looking for an experienced Senior Solution Architect to join our team and play a key role in major business transformation initiatives and Microsoft Dynamics 365.

Microsoft Dynamics 365

End-to-End Solution Design
- Develop end-to-end architectures covering applications, integrations, data, security, resilience and operational requirements.
- Understand business requirements and translate them into coherent solution architectures.
- Define architectural principles, constraints, dependencies and non-functional requirements.
