Business Analyst

Role: Technical Business Analyst Location: Remote - EST Duration: 12+ Months Role Summary Seeking a Technical Business Analyst with a strong engineering mindset and deep hands-on capability across SQL/PL/SQL, Oracle Cloud technologies, and modern integration patterns. This role bridges business (loan/lease accounting domain) and technology (data conversion/migration, APIs, event streaming) to deliver high-volume, reliable solutions with strong SDLC discipline and CI/CD practices. Required Qualifications: 1. Core Business Analyst + Technical Execution • Proven experience operating as a Business Analyst in technical delivery teams (Agile/Scrum preferred). • Ability to elicit requirements, translate them into functional/technical specs, and drive traceability through implementation and testing. • Strong skills in process mapping, data mapping, gap analysis, user stories/acceptance criteria, and stakeholder management. • Comfortable working directly with developers, architects, QA, and business SMEs to resolve ambiguities and make delivery decisions. 1. Advanced SQL / PL/SQL (Hands-on) • Extensive hands-on experience writing and optimizing complex SQL (joins, analytics/window functions, CTEs, performance tuning). • Strong PL/SQL development: packages, procedures/functions, triggers (where appropriate), exception handling, bulk operations. • Experience with query tuning, indexing strategy, execution plan analysis, and handling large datasets/high throughput workloads. • Data quality and reconciliation skills (counts, balances, controls, audit trails). 1. Oracle Cloud Tools & Technologies (Hands-on) • Working experience with Oracle Cloud ecosystem relevant to data/integration (e.g., Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC), OCI services, Oracle REST/Data Services (ORDS), Autonomous Database, object storage, scheduling/orchestration tools). • Ability to design secure integrations, manage connectivity, and support operational monitoring/troubleshooting in cloud environments. • Exposure to Oracle SaaS integration patterns is a plus (if applicable to your environment). 1. Migration / Conversion Experience • Demonstrated delivery experience in data migration/conversion projects (legacy to Oracle/Cloud preferred). • Ability to define mapping rules, transformation logic, validation controls, and reconciliation strategies. • Experience building repeatable conversion runs, managing cutover activities, and supporting parallel runs. • Familiarity with ETL/ELT approaches and handling source system anomalies. 1. API & Event-Driven Integration (High Volume) • Experience designing and/or implementing REST APIs (specs, payload design, versioning, idempotency, error handling). • Experience with event-driven architecture using Kafka (or equivalent: Confluent, Pulsar, Kinesis, etc.) for high-volume transaction processing. • Understanding of distributed systems concerns ordering, retries, deduplication, exactly-once/at-least-once semantics, back-pressure, monitoring. • Ability to write or partner closely on integration code and define non-functional requirements (latency, throughput, reliability). 1. Accounting + Loan/Lease Domain Knowledge • Solid exposure to accounting principles and financial controls (e.g., GL impacts, accruals, reconciliation, auditability). • Domain experience in loan/lease lifecycle concepts (origination, servicing, amortization schedules, interest calculations, fees, delinquency, payoff, asset/lease accounting concepts). • Ability to communicate with finance stakeholders and translate accounting requirements into data and system behaviour. 1. Development Tooling & Modern SDLC • Hands-on use of GitHub (branching strategies, pull requests, code reviews, issues). • Experience with CI/CD pipelines (build/test/deploy automation; environment promotion; release controls). • Comfortable developing and collaborating using VS Code; practical experience leveraging AI-assisted development tools to accelerate delivery while maintaining quality. • Familiarity with testing practices: unit/integration testing concepts, data validation testing, and automation is a plus. Preferred / Nice-to-Have: • Experience with Oracle performance tuning at scale and/or cloud cost optimization. • Knowledge of security best practices (secrets management, OAuth2/JWT for APIs, least privilege access). • Experience with observability tooling (logging, metrics, tracing) for APIs and Kafka pipelines. • Prior work in regulated environments requiring audit trails and strong controls.
