Technical Business Analyst - APIs, Data & Microservices
We’re working with a client who needs a Business Analyst that can operate comfortably in a technical environment.
This isn’t a role for someone who sits at the edge of delivery writing user stories. You’ll be embedded with engineers, architects and product teams, shaping how systems actually work.
If you’ve worked in API-driven, integration-heavy environments and can hold your own in technical conversations, this will feel like a good fit.
What you’ll be doing
* Working with stakeholders to shape requirements that are technically viable
* Translating business needs into clear specifications across APIs and microservices
* Defining API contracts, payloads and integration workflows
* Analysing and troubleshooting data using SQL / PL/SQL
* Supporting testing by validating service interactions and data flows
* Collaborating closely with developers and architects to design scalable solutions
* Playing an active role in backlog refinement and sprint planning
What we're looking for:
* Strong experience as a Business Analyst in technical environments
* Solid understanding of APIs (REST/SOAP, JSON/XML) and system integrations
* Experience working with microservices-based architectures
* Ability to read and work with SQL / PL/SQL (not just surface level)
* Comfortable working closely with engineering teams on solution design
* Experience in Agile delivery environments
The most important elements:
* You don’t need to be a developer, but you do need to think like one
* You’re confident getting into the detail when needed
* You can challenge requirements and shape better technical outcomes
If you’re a more business-facing BA with limited exposure to APIs, data or integrations, this probably won’t be the right fit.
If you’ve been looking for a role where you’re closer to the tech and can have real input into how solutions are built, let's have a conversation!
