• Translate business requirements into preliminary cloud solution components (e.g., compute, storage, database, and networking concepts at a high level).
• Collaborate with cloud architects, engineers, and developers to refine requirements into technical designs.
• Avoid performing deep engineering design but assist in identifying dependencies, risks, and constraints for migration or modernization efforts.
• Develop and maintain documentation including requirements traceability matrices, meeting notes, and process workflows.
• Support Agile ceremonies including sprint planning, backlog refinement, and demos.
• Ensure requirements align with security, compliance, and federal IT standards.
