• Drive requirement discovery and conversion from the legacy/source system.
• Balance strategic prioritization with hands-on analysis: reverse‑engineer legacy behaviors, define canonical target models, craft high-quality Agile stories with testable criteria, and ensure end-to-end traceability, compliance, and operational resilience.
• Collaborate across data, analytics, and engineering to support data migration and modernization efforts.

• Strong experience in banking/financial services domain (BFSI) is a must.

• Define and communicate the modernization vision: scalable omnibus recordkeeping, resilient trade processing, accurate investor/position data, and transparent reporting.
• Build a migration roadmap: wave planning.
• Prioritize features balancing business value, regulatory obligations, technical feasibility, and operational risk.

• Lead reverse-engineering of the source system (tables, batch jobs, reports, screens, interface specs).
• Produce field-level mappings and transformation rules for investor details, positions, cost basis/tax lots, omnibus accounts, and broker-dealer reporting.
• Author canonical data model specifications and API/event contracts for modern services.
• Maintain traceability:
  Source Requirement (SR-) → Epic/Feature → Story → Test cases → UAT sign-off.

• Run backlog grooming, sprint planning, and cross-team dependency management; drive PI Planning where applicable.
