Lead Technical Business Analyst

Experience in UK Public Sector / Utilities is Mandatory

We're looking for a Lead Technical Business Analyst to join our Delivery team—someone who thrives at the intersection of complex technical systems and business value delivery.

As a core contributor to our product evolution, you will work closely with Product Managers, Solution Architects, and client-facing teams to drive the design and execution of secure, scalable cloud-native platforms—primarily across AWS, GCP, Azure, with expansion from UK Public Sector into BFSI and other regulated industries.

This role requires a sharp analytical mind, a solution-oriented mindset, and the ability to navigate ambiguity with resilience and structure. You’ll be working with cutting-edge tech—Java, Kafka, Kubernetes, event-driven and big data architectures—in a culture that values security, trust, and forward-thinking innovation.

Key Responsibilities

Collaborate with Product Managers and Solution Architects to capture, refine, and validate business and technical requirements

Translate business goals into clear technical specifications, including user stories, process flows, and data models

Perform end-to-end technical, business, and data analysis across our product offerings and client projects

Engage with clients to understand integration, configuration, and deployment requirements

Contribute to the design of event-driven, microservices-based solutions using modern cloud and container platforms

Support domain modelling using Domain-Driven Design (DDD) principles

Define acceptance criteria, support test planning and UAT, and contribute to release readiness

Facilitate backlog grooming, sprint planning, and cross-functional alignment sessions

Serve as the vital link between engineering, QA, product, and client stakeholders

Required Skills & Experience

Must-Haves:

Proven experience as a Technical or Systems Business Analyst within a software or product-led environment

Strong understanding of cloud-native and distributed systems architectures

Familiarity with technologies such as Java, Kafka, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines

Experience with event-driven architectures, big data flows, and asynchronous systems

Proficient in reading and interpreting technical diagrams, architecture specs, and API contracts

Deep understanding of Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and agile methodologies

Strong experience working in AWS or Azure environments

Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills

Analytical thinking with a knack for solutioning complex technical problems

Nice-to-Haves:

Exposure to regulated domains (e.g., BFSI, healthcare, telecom, public sector)

Familiarity with OpenAPI/Swagger, RESTful services, and API-first design

Experience with agile frameworks (Scrum, Kanban) and tools like JIRA, Confluence, Git

Prior involvement in cloud infrastructure or platform teams

Mindset & Culture Fit

We’re a team of doers, solvers, and thinkers who don’t just ship features—we build platforms that enable resilience, agility, and trust in some of the world’s most secure environments.

To thrive in this role, you must:

Be solution-oriented: Always looking forward, not get stuck on roadblocks

Be resilient under complexity: Able to navigate evolving requirements and tight feedback loops

Think in systems: Understand how parts interact, not just in silos

Bring a product-first mindset: Driven by user outcomes, not just documentation

Value collaboration, curiosity, and accountabilityAker Systems Attributes
