Responsibilities:

Position Purpose: We’re looking for a Technical Business Analyst who can help drive our strategic API initiative. You’ll collaborate with engineering, architecture, and product teams to design, define, and deliver APIs that form the backbone of StoneX’s global connectivity.

If you thrive at the intersection of business and technology – translating complex integration needs into clear, scalable API solutions – this role is for you.

Primary duties will include:

• Requirements Gathering & Analysis:
• Collaborate with Product Owners, Architects, Developers, and QA teams, to elicit and document clear, comprehensive business and technical requirements for APIs and middleware services.
• Translate integration needs from multiple systems into cohesive API specifications and reusable service definitions.
• Conduct gap analyses across existing APIs to identify areas for consolidation, standardization, or modernization.
• Technical Analysis & Troubleshooting:
• Analyze data flows, payloads, and service interactions to diagnose issues and recommend solutions.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to resolve technical challenges related to API integrations, caching, or data enrichment.
• Evaluate and recommend best practices in API design, versioning, and governance.
• Documentation & Modelling:
• Create and maintain detailed documentation including API contracts, data models, and process flows.
• Develop and maintain documentation supporting public and partner-facing APIs, ensuring clarity, security, and ease of adoption.
• Prepare training and onboarding materials for internal users and API consumers as needed.
• Agile Development Collaboration:
• Participate actively in Agile ceremonies including sprint planning, stand-ups, and backlog refinement.
• Partner with Product Owners to maintain and prioritize API development backlogs, balancing new capabilities, stability, and technical debt.
• Support the definition of API lifecycle processes–discovery, onboarding, change management, and deprecation.
• Integration & Testing Support:
• Define and validate integration points across internal systems and external partner channels.
• Support QA teams in designing test scenarios for API validation, contract testing, and performance benchmarking.
• Facilitate UAT and API consumer testing, ensuring alignment with business requirements and developer experience standards.
• Continuous Improvement:
• Identify opportunities to improve API reusability, performance, and developer experience.
• Contribute to defining API governance frameworks and standards for documentation, security, and version control.
• Provide insights into emerging API technologies, middleware tools, and architectural patterns such as event-driven design and microservices.

Qualifications:

To land this role you will need:

• 5+ years of Business Analyst experience in a technology or integration-focused environment (API, middleware, data services).
• Strong understanding of API design principles (REST, gRPC, event streaming), data mapping, service-oriented architecture, and data analysis (eg, SQL).
• Proficiency in Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) and cross-functional team collaboration.
• Hands-on experience with tools such as Swagger/OpenAPI, Postman, JIRA, Confluence, or Azure DevOps.
• Excellent analytical, communication, and documentation abilities.
• Ability to produce clear and detailed documentation, including user stories, process flows, and technical specifications.
• Preferred: experience defining public or partner-facing APIs, API gateways, and developer portals.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Finance, Business, or a related field; or a combination of education and/or equivalent experience.
