If you feel like this is you, you might be a perfect fit for this role! 🎉 YOU ARE: * A strategic thinker who can zoom out to understand the big picture and zoom in to nail the details. * A natural bridge-builder — equally comfortable in a room full of engineers and a room full of stakeholders. * A problem-solver who thrives in ambiguity and brings calm, clarity, and structure to complex situations. * A curious mind who genuinely enjoys understanding how systems work, not just what they need to do. * A collaborative team player who believes the best solutions come from diverse perspectives. YOU HAVE: * A strong technical and domain-driven mindset, with the ability to work closely with engineering teams. * Hands-on experience with high-performance messaging or sequencing platforms such as Aeron, Kafka, Hydra, or equivalent — including an understanding of message ordering, state machine replication, and fault-tolerant distributed systems * Demonstrable exposure to low-latency or high-throughput messaging infrastructure in a financial or similarly demanding technical environment * Experience in QA, Software Engineering, Technical Business Analysis, or another highly technical product environment. * A product-first mindset, combining Domain-Driven Design principles with a deep understanding of systems and user impact. * The ability to define and document functional and non-functional requirements clearly and effectively. * An understanding of performance, scalability, resilience, and availability in modern platforms. * Experience working in Agile or Kanban environments across the full software development lifecycle. * Confidence contributing to architecture and design discussions, simplifying complex challenges into deliverable solutions. * The ability to create process flows, sequencing diagrams, and documentation that align technical and operational teams. YOU WILL: DRIVE CLARITY IN COMPLEX ENVIRONMENTS: * Operate confidently in ambiguous situations, shaping requirements and driving alignment with minimal direction. * Adapt to different delivery models across products, including engineering-led and BA-led ways of working. * Define and maintain functional and non-functional requirements — including operational scenarios, acceptance criteria, and QA validation needs across distributed workflows * Ask the right questions early, so that solutions are well understood, well defined, and ready to be delivered. SHAPE THE BACKLOG AND DELIVERY: * Collaborate with engineering, QA, and architecture teams to translate complex technical solutions into structured backlog items, deliverable stories, and testable outcomes. * Help stakeholders make their vision for the product materialise, especially in the early stages of each delivery phase. * Be the stakeholders' proxy in the team — able to make quick, firm decisions on scope, requirements and prioritisation/triage. * Drive backlog review and estimation processes, and take part in planning activities. * Define acceptance criteria and tests up front as part of a Business-Driven Development approach. * Follow up during implementation and testing phases to ensure delivery satisfies requirements. COLLABORATE ACROSS THE TEAM: * Work closely with QA to assess failure scenarios and help distinguish bugs, enhancements, and new feature requirements. * Facilitate discussions across technical and business stakeholders to drive clarity, alignment, and sound decision-making. * Support delivery, implementation, and release processes, ensuring solutions align with business objectives, customer use cases, and non-functional expectations. * Help improve operational processes and workflows — both internally and externally — bringing a calm, pragmatic and collaborative approach.
