    What you can/should do is populate some of the customAttributeXX that are readily available in Exchange Online. You cannot use custom directory extensions, if that's what you mean.

    Job Title can likely be represented by the built-in Title attribute, for the rest, create a mapping to a customattributeXX. I.e. Job Code == customAttribute5, etc. Then, use PowerShell to setup a DG based on said attributes (the UI does not expose them):

    New-DynamicDistributionGroup test -RecipientFilter {CustomAttribute5 -eq "123"}
