The Planet Group is looking for a Technical Business Analyst - Developer to join our well-known Fortune 500 client on a 12-month contract, working in hybrid schedule from Cupertino, CA or Culver City, CA.
Technical Business Analyst - Developer | Qualifications:
- Hybrid Technical Proficiency: Strong familiarity with modern full-stack development. While this is a BA role, the ideal candidate can "read" and occasionally contribute to our diverse stack, including PHP (Laravel), Python (FastAPI), and JavaScript (React & Express). Should also have a strong understand of semantic HTML markup and CSS.
- Technical Translation: Proven background in Technical Business Analysis or Systems Analysis, with a mastery of translating ambiguous business goals into rigorous technical specifications and logic flows.
- Developer Experience (DX) Champion: Deep understanding of the developer's needs. You provide the documentation, OpenAPI/Swagger specs, and clear functional requirements necessary to ensure engineering can build friction-free.
- Architectural Literacy: Solid understanding of architectural design patterns - from monolithic MVC patterns to Event-Driven Architecture (EDA).
- Data Modeling & Schema Design: Proficiency in database concepts (PostgreSQL) with the ability to model schemas, define relationships, and understand how data migrations impact the broader system.
- API & Integration Design: Extensive experience detailing RESTful API integrations. You understand how to map data between internal services and third-party platforms (e.g., Wrike, Box, Slack).
- Gap Analysis & Technical Reviews: Proven ability to lead gap analysis and technical audits to ensure the product vision is technically feasible and aligned with existing engineering capabilities.
- Agile Requirements Engineering: Expert at writing comprehensive user stories with robust Technical Acceptance Criteria (TAC) and facilitating estimation in fast-paced sprint cycles.
- Legacy & Modern Bridge: Comfortable navigating a "legacy-meets-modern" environment by balancing the needs of a stable Laravel monolith with the requirements of new React/Express and Python services (and strategies for porting over legacy features to the new stack).
- Collaborative Execution: A team-oriented mindset with the ability to work cross-functionally, acting as the vital link between stakeholders and the engineering team.
Technical Business Analyst - Developer | Description:
- This is a role that requires collaboration across multiple design, engineering, business, and production teams.
- You will be responsible for taking high-level product visions, owning the gap analysis, and writing the technical requirements that empower our engineering team to build bulletproof solutions. You will act as the bridge between business stakeholders and developers, championing the developer experience and ensuring our technical teams have the clarity, context, and documentation they need to succeed. We often provide tech support and process guidance for others on our team.
