Technical Analyst - Data, Integration and APIs (Aladdin Wealth)
Contract engagement at Luxoft on a client's BlackRock Aladdin Wealth implementation: the Technical Analyst owns project data definitions and source-to-target mappings, specifies API/interface integrations, defines data-quality and reconciliation checks, and supports technical testing and cutover — working hands-on with SQL, JSON/XML payloads and Aladdin Wealth APIs.

- Proven hands-on delivery of Aladdin Wealth at scale: target architecture input, integration planning and source-to-target data mapping (primary selection criterion)
- Practical experience with Aladdin Wealth APIs or interfaces: documentation, payloads, constraints and error handling
- Proven delivery of inbound and outbound integrations involving Aladdin Wealth, with data mapping and reconciliation
- Strong financial-services data experience: positions, transactions, security/reference data, pricing, benchmarks, classifications, client/account structures
- Experience specifying event-driven and batch integration patterns in a regulated environment
- Able to work directly with developers and architects and produce precise build-ready specifications
- Hands-on SQL; able to inspect JSON/XML payloads and work from API/interface documentation
- Jira, Confluence, Visio; API testing tools such as Postman; Excel for data analysis
Nice to have
- Designed or implemented a BlackRock integration layer within a global wealth platform programme
- Historical data migration from a legacy proposal or portfolio platform

- Exposure to adjacent platforms (Avaloq, Temenos, FNZ, SimCorp, Charles River); custody, core banking or OMS interfaces
- Multi-entity or multi-jurisdiction delivery experience
Full description
Project description
Own the technical analysis for our Client's Aladdin Wealth implementation: the project data definitions, source-to-target mappings, interfaces, API integrations and data quality controls.
Take business requirements from the Business Analyst and translate them into buildable technical specifications. Work with developers, integration
architects, data engineers and BlackRock technical contacts to design,
implement and prove the solution.
This is a contract engagement requiring someone productive from the outset, with hands-on Aladdin Wealth implementation experience.
Responsibilities
- TARGET ARCHITECTURE AND INTEGRATION
- Contribute technical analysis to the Aladdin Wealth target architecture: component boundaries, system-of-record considerations, data flows and responsibilities across Aladdin Wealth and the existing application landscape.
- Develop the integration inventory and plan: in-scope inbound and outbound interfaces, sequencing, dependencies and release phasing.
- Analyse event-driven and batch options with the integration architect: triggers, ordering, idempotency, replay, throughput, latency, error handling and recovery.
- Elicit and document non-functional requirements for the integration layer, including volumes, availability, recovery, monitoring and alerting.
- Support technical mobilisation: connectivity and environment dependencies, access requirements, test-data needs and the initial technical backlog.
DATA DEFINITIONS AND MAPPING
- Own project data definitions and source-to-target mappings for data exchanged with Aladdin Wealth, including positions, transactions, security reference data, pricing, benchmarks, classifications, client and account hierarchies.
- Work within the Aladdin Wealth data model and document required mappings, transformations, identifiers and exceptions; do not assume ownership of the vendor's underlying product schema.
- Translate business-approved taxonomy and classification rules into mappings and exception handling.
- Specify portfolio risk attributes as data: source, refresh, lineage and downstream use, in line with business definitions agreed by the Business Analyst and relevant owners.
- Define historical data migration scope, mapping and technical validation approach.
- Maintain data dictionaries, mapping specifications and decisions as scope evolves.
APIS AND INTERFACES
- Analyse Aladdin Wealth API and interface documentation provided for the engagement; specify endpoint or interface use, payload contracts, security requirements, versioning, limits, error handling and retry behaviour as confirmed for the client's implementation.
