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.

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 like Kubernetes
  • 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.

  • 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 accountability

Aker Systems is an enterprise data infrastructure company that specializes in building and operating highly secure data platforms on public clouds (like AWS and Azure). Their primary clients are usually in the public sector (UK Government departments) or highly regulated industries where data security, privacy, and massive scale are absolutely critical. Instead of just doing basic 'lift-and-shift' cloud migrations, Aker designs complex, custom data architectures that allow massive organizations to process, store, and analyze huge volumes of sensitive data safely and efficiently.

Safety First

  • Never pay for a job application.
  • Do not share sensitive bank info.
  • Verify the client before starting work.
