We are seeking a skilled Technical Business Analyst - Solution Architect to play a pivotal role in transitioning our legacy mainframe systems to a modern distributed architecture. The ideal candidate will possess a strong blend of business acumen, analytical and technical expertise.   This role will play a crucial part in bridging the gap between technical teams and business capabilities being modernized. It involves identifying capabilities, integration points, data needs, reports, batch jobs vs online processing, etc. Subsequently, this role will collaborate with technical teams, both teams in charge of legacy and modern apps, and recommend solutions that include modern n-tier distributed architecture.  Finally, the role through discovery and assessment will challenge the capabilities that should be “in-scope” and be modernized for first phase versus those that need to be parked for further discussions or marked “out-of-scope.”
