• Understand and document backend service interactions, data flows, interface contracts, upstream and downstream dependencies, and integration requirements.
• Work closely with engineering teams to understand solution approaches for Java and Spring Boot microservices deployed on AWS.
• Collaborate with architects and developers to understand service contracts, REST API requirements, event-driven workflows, and integration patterns.
• Ensure user stories capture relevant non-functional expectations, including security, performance, scalability, availability, observability, error handling, resiliency, and supportability.
• Facilitate discussions between business stakeholders and technical teams to resolve functional and technical ambiguities.
