The role will work across business, technology, and data teams to capture application architecture, business-process-supported data flows and integration points, and to produce clear documentation of how systems, processes, and data interact across the domain. The role will help translate current-state processes, systems, and data movements into structured outputs such as process flows, interface and application inventories, data mappings, and entity definitions that can be used to shape the Alternatives data model and support internal and external data sharing requirements. Where gaps, inefficiencies, or control weaknesses are identified, the role will also work with key stakeholders across business, technology, and data to assess options and propose practical improvements to the current approach. Responsibilities include: * Document the current-state application and systems architecture across the Alternatives domain, including key platforms, interfaces, dependencies, data stores, and manual process touchpoints. * Produce clear architectural artifacts for Private Markets and Hedge Funds, including system context diagrams, application interaction views, interface and application inventories, and capability-to-system mappings. * Document the end-to-end data flows that support current-state business processes, including where data is sourced, transformed, enriched, reconciled, consumed, and reported. * Work with key stakeholders to capture core operational processes, system usage, handoffs, control points, and pain points across the Alternatives landscape. * Partner with the Data Architect to help develop a domain data model for Alternatives based on the documented architecture, process, and data-flow artifacts prepared by this role. * Identify and document key business entities, data concepts, system ownership, data lineage considerations, and relationships that inform the domain data model. * Prepare source-to-target mapping documents for any data shared with internal systems, enterprise platforms, regulators, clients, administrators, custodians, vendors, or other third parties. * Define and document mapping logic, transformation rules, validations, reference data usage, control requirements, and field-level business meaning where data is exchanged between systems. * Create and maintain a comprehensive inventory of inbound and outbound interfaces, including file transfers, APIs, reports, feeds, and manual data exchange points. * Identify gaps, duplication, inconsistencies, undocumented dependencies, and data-quality risks across the current-state architecture and data flows. * Analyze current-state architecture, process, and data-flow gaps and work with business, technology, and data stakeholders to define practical improvement options and recommended target-state approaches. * Produce high-level future-state architecture views and option assessments that can be used to support prioritization, solution design, and delivery planning. * Assess the impact of proposed changes across processes, systems, interfaces, data structures, and operational teams, and document dependencies, constraints, and transition considerations. * Facilitate workshops and working sessions with business SMEs, technology teams, architects, and data stakeholders to validate findings and agree outputs. * Ensure that analysis outputs are sufficiently detailed and structured to support downstream solution design, engineering delivery, testing, governance, and operational transition activities. ## Related Videos - [Microservices architecture as a key element in building trading systems for global finance markets](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1196-microservices-architecture-as-a-key-element-in-building-trading-systems-for-global-finance-markets) - [Fault Tolerance and Consistency at Scale: Harnessing the Power of Distributed SQL Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1520-fault-tolerance-and-consistency-at-scale-harnessing-the-power-of-distributed-sql-databases) - [Enjoying SQL data pipelines with dbt](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/823-enjoying-sql-data-pipelines-with-dbt) - [Smart City, Smart Mobility](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/954-smart-city-smart-mobility) - [Modern Data Architectures need Software Engineering](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1030-modern-data-architectures-need-software-engineering) - [Break the Chain: Decentralized solutions for today’s Web2.0 privacy problems](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/928-break-the-chain-decentralized-solutions-for-today-s-web2-0-privacy-problems) ## Related Articles - [Data Analyst Salary in the UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/278-data-analyst-salary-in-the-uk) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Data Analyst Salary in Switzerland](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/276-data-analyst-salary-in-switzerland) - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers)
