Position BA OR Product Owner with PHP exp

Location Tampa, FL (Hybrid 3 days WFO)

JD

We are seeking a results-driven Business Analyst or Product Owner with deep technical proficiency in PHP-based systems (Laravel, Zend, PHP 8.0) and hands-on experience in enterprise application modernization, process automation, and product lifecycle management. You will act as the strategic bridge between business stakeholders, product teams, and engineering squads-driving clarity, alignment, and execution across complex digital platforms.

This role is ideal for someone who understands legacy PHP systems, can lead digital transformation initiatives, and has a passion for building scalable, secure, and user-centric products.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Product Strategy & Roadmap Ownership

• Define and maintain the product vision, roadmap, and release plans in alignment with business goals.
• Translate business needs into measurable product outcomes (e.g., reduce onboarding time by 90%, as achieved in the BlueIQPLUS project).
• Prioritize features based on ROI, technical feasibility, compliance (ISO 27001/27701), and customer impact.

2. Requirements Engineering & Analysis

• Conduct stakeholder interviews, workshops, and process mapping sessions to gather and validate business requirements.
• Analyze existing PHP-based applications (e.g., Laravel, Zend, CSHTML) to understand data flows, workflows, and technical constraints.
• Document requirements using user stories, acceptance criteria, FRDs, and process diagrams (BPMN, MS Visio).
• Identify and mitigate risks related to legacy code, performance bottlenecks, and security vulnerabilities (e.g., XSS, SQL injection).

3. Technical Collaboration & Backlog Management

• Work closely with engineering leads, architects, and QA teams to refine backlogs and ensure technical feasibility.
• Evaluate refactoring needs (e.g., replacing legacy PHP with ReactJS modules, as done in the Real Page project).
• Provide technical context during sprint planning, backlog grooming, and story estimation.
• Champion clean code practices (PSR standards), CI/CD integration, and test coverage (PHPUnit, BDD, JUnit).

4. Agile & DevOps Execution

• Serve as the primary point of contact for Scrum ceremonies (Sprint Planning, Daily Standups, Retrospectives, Reviews).
• Manage Jira/Agile boards, track sprint progress, and ensure timely delivery.
• Collaborate with DevOps teams on deployment pipelines (Jenkins, AWS DevOps, Bitbucket) and environment management.
• Support UAT, production deployments, and post-release support (as seen in BlueIQPLUS and Real Page projects).

5. Stakeholder & Client Engagement

• Act as the voice of the customer-liaising with clients in US, ANZ, and APAC regions.
• Facilitate workshops to co-create solutions (e.g., configurable workflows, tenant-specific configurations).
• Present prototypes, mockups, and solution designs for sign-off.
• Manage change requests and ensure alignment with contractual SLAs.

6. Quality, Compliance & Security Oversight

• Ensure all product features meet compliance standards (ISO 27001, ISO 27701).
• Integrate security checks into the SDLC (e.g., Fortify scans, PHPCS, XSS prevention).
• Collaborate with QA teams to define test scenarios and acceptance criteria.
• Support audit readiness and documentation for regulated domains (HR, Payroll, Property Data).

7. Innovation & Continuous Improvement

• Identify opportunities for automation, process optimization, and productization (e.g., turning custom solutions into reusable platforms).
• Leverage AI-driven tools on the AiDE Platform for insight generation, requirement analysis, and predictive prioritization.

Drive innovation in areas like data pipelines (AWS Glue, Athena), ETL services, and PWA/mobile integration.
