Job description

We are seeking a highly analytical Systems Analyst to bridge the gap between our business stakeholders and technical engineering teams. In this role, you will act as a key connector between business objectives, product vision, and engineering execution. You will leverage developer-assist and analytics tools to deeply understand application systems, data flows, and technical constraints, while shaping product priorities and translating functional needs into actionable, high-quality backlogs.

As a Business Systems Analyst, your work will directly influence how effectively teams build, scale, and maintain capabilities. You will:

  • Enable informed decision-making by providing deep insight into applications, workflows, and data.
  • Create clarity and alignment across product, engineering, and business stakeholders.
  • Improve delivery outcomes by ensuring backlogs are well-structured, prioritized, and technically feasible.
  • Help teams move faster with confidence by reducing ambiguity and surfacing dependencies, risks, and opportunities early.

  • Ability to work directly with: Application logs, metrics, and monitoring tools, Databases (SQL-based and/or NoSQL), REST APIs and service contracts
  • Comfortable using developer assist tools to accelerate analysis and insight generation.
  • Solid understanding of software architecture principles, SDLC, and distributed systems.

Backlog & Product Skills

  • Expertise in backlog creation, prioritization, and refinement.
  • Good understanding of Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, or hybrid models).
  • Ability to balance short-term delivery needs with long-term platform health.

Communication & Leadership

  • Exceptional ability to communicate complex technical concepts in clear, actionable terms.
  • Demonstrable experience influencing priorities without direct authority.

Behavioral Competencies

  • Strong problem-solving abilities.
  • Proactive, curious, and comfortable operating in ambiguous environments.
  • Good communication and people-interaction skills.
  • Organized and have a continuous improvement mentality.

Experience & Background
