Your Role and Responsibilities

• Focuses on giving a strategic orientation to the services and/or APIs to be built in the organization by applying SOA design principles, evaluates the functional requirements identified by the functional areas and defines the service model according to the business processes.
• In conjunction with business stakeholders and process analysts, services are proposed with a business strategy orientation (reusable), and not services focused on the specific solution.
• Identifies which APIs can solve a functional need.
• Accompanies business teams to identify requirements / integration needs and helps mobilize definitions. Purpose:
• Lead and support others in functional scenario definition spaces under the BDD work methodology for a capability or functional flow in a business domain, in order to learn successful and alternate behaviors, and thus achieve greater alignment between business and technical implementation.
• Perform SOA Analysis and Modeling for a capability or functional flow in a business domain, using all Event Storming (DDD) artifacts and complying with SOA design principles and patterns, to identify, learn and/or refine candidate capabilities that can be exposed as services through APIs. Replicate this purpose by supporting others to ensure the knowledge level of the team.

Build functional contracts of a capability taking into account the following considerations: SOA design principles, BIAN framework, information classification, access paths (HTTP, basepath and operation Path methods), canonical model, request and response fields, data granularity and restriction, for each of the capabilities to be exposed as APIs and Services in the different business domains in order to create standardized contracts with high reuse potential and to support other team members with capability definitions.

• Have the ability to build beta contracts of capabilities to be exposed as APIs and Services in a business domain, complying with all standards, policies and guidelines defined in SOA Governance and Open API, in order to have a beta version of the API that will be the base input for the development team and will be published in the API portal and thus be able to generate deliverables and support other team members who require it.

Document for each API the SOA Analysis and Modeling artifacts (functional contract, beta version of technical contract, BDD scenarios), with the structure and guidelines defined by SOA Government and make it available in the indicated repository, as well as being able to support others, in order to centralize the information in compliance with SOA design principles and thus allow the traceability of the evolution of the capabilities exposed as APIs or Services.

Have knowledge in Open Banking, BaaS and third party integrations in order to contribute in the evolution of definitions and support the members of the knowledge area that are working on these needs.

• Be proficient in service catalogs, API portals and discoverability of capabilities in order to correctly document capabilities (keeping the inventory updated and standardized), identify opportunities for improvement in guidelines and processes and support other members of the knowledge area.
