About the Role
Adaptive is a financial consulting firm partnering with capital, commodity, and digital market participants, valuing differentiation through technology. We are seeking a Technical Business Analyst to bridge the gap between product vision and delivery execution in a complex, fast-moving technical environment.
Responsibilities
- 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 to ensure solutions are well understood, defined, and ready for delivery.
- Collaborate with engineering, QA, and architecture teams to translate complex technical solutions into structured backlog items, deliverable stories, and testable outcomes.
- Help stakeholders materialize their product vision, especially in the early stages of each delivery phase.
- Act as stakeholders' proxy in the team, making quick, firm decisions on scope, requirements, and prioritization/triage.
- Drive backlog review and estimation processes, and participate 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.
- 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, with a calm, pragmatic, and collaborative approach.
Requirements
- 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.
- Product-first mindset, combining Domain-Driven Design principles with a deep understanding of systems and user impact.
- Ability to define and document functional and non-functional requirements clearly and effectively.
- 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.
- Ability to create process flows, sequencing diagrams, and documentation that align technical and operational teams.
