Description

We’re looking for a highly skilled and motivated Business Analyst to join our team for a critical platform modernization project. You’ll be instrumental in replacing our legacy system with a new, cloud-native solution. The ideal candidate will bridge the gap between business needs and technical requirements, ensuring the new platform is scalable, maintainable, secure, and operationally efficient. This role requires a strong understanding of data ingestion, cloud technologies, and agile methodologies.

Key Responsibilities Discovery & Analysis

  • Analyze the current platform and its data flows to understand existing functionalities and pain points.
  • Inventory and assess existing components and data sources, including key data files.
  • Gather requirements from business and technical stakeholders to define detailed specifications for data ingestion and processing pipelines.
  • Define technical and operational tasks required for data ingestion and the decommissioning of legacy components.
  • Analyze data requirements and mappings for both new and existing data sources.
  • Develop a robust Reconciliation System to ensure data parity between the legacy and new platforms

Planning & Execution

  • Create and manage the agile backlog, including user stories, epics, and acceptance criteria.
  • Develop a comprehensive delivery roadmap with clear milestones, timelines, and resource needs.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to design and implement a scalable and secure cloud-based data ingestion platform.
  • Support the phased migration plan to minimize business disruption during the transition.
  • Participate in the parallel run of both legacy and new systems to validate functionality and data accuracy.
  • Assist in the creation of documentation and training materials for support teams to ensure a smooth transition.

Quality & Handover

  • Validate that the new system meets all defined acceptance criteria for real-time and batch processing, security controls, and operational enhancements.
  • Verify that logging, monitoring, and alerting are functional and meet project requirements.
  • Ensure that all documentation is accurate, accessible, and up to date for knowledge transfer.
  • Obtain sign-off on the handover checklist from engineering and support leads.

Required Skills & Qualifications

  • Proven experience as a Business Analyst, preferably in a technical or data-centric project.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a keen attention to detail.
  • Experience with cloud technologies , specifically public cloud services (e.g., storage, compute, serverless, monitoring).
  • Familiarity with data ingestion, data pipelines, and database concepts.
  • Knowledge of agile methodologies (e.g., Scrum, Kanban) and project management tools.
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, for collaborating with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Ability to work independently and manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment.
  • Experience with legacy systems and data migration projects is a significant plus.
