Job description

Seeking a Systems Programmer Analyst to analyze business and system needs, document requirements, and translate them into clear functional and technical specifications.

Responsibilities

  • Perform systems analysis across applications, databases, batch jobs, interfaces, reports, and operational processes to support enhancements, troubleshooting, conversions, and production support.
  • Develop, execute, validate, and optimize complex SQL queries and scripts to research data issues, support analysis, confirm expected results, and validate business rules or system changes.
  • Analyze data structures, database relationships, source-to-target mappings, and application logic to support reporting, integrations, batch processing, and modernization efforts.
  • Create and maintain requirements documents, functional specifications, process flows, data mappings, test scenarios, validation results, and implementation support materials.
  • Collaborate with business users, developers, database administrators, quality assurance staff, architects, and project teams to clarify requirements, evaluate options, and support delivery of system changes.
  • Support development and testing activities by reviewing logic, validating program output, creating test data, documenting defects, and assisting with optional programming or scripting tasks when needed.
  • Assist with production support, implementation planning, post-deployment validation, and clear communication of findings, risks, and recommended remediation steps.

Requirements

  • A Bachelor’’s Degree from an accredited college in Computer Science, Information Systems, Business Information Systems, or a closely related field, -AND- at least three (3) years of progressively responsible, full-time, paid experience in a centralized Information Technology organization performing systems analysis, requirements documentation, application support, data analysis, SQL development, application development, or related technical analysis work.
  • Strong systems analyst experience is required, including requirements gathering, functional and process analysis, technical documentation, stakeholder coordination, testing support, and implementation support.
  • Advanced SQL proficiency is required, including writing, modifying, debugging, optimizing, executing, and validating SQL queries and scripts for data analysis, reconciliation, troubleshooting, reporting, and system validation.
  • Experience analyzing relational databases, data models, source-to-target mappings, stored procedures, data quality issues, and application or batch processing logic is required.
  • Experience supporting application development, enhancement, conversion, or modernization initiatives is required, including the ability to work with developers and technical teams to clarify logic, validate outputs, and support design decisions.
  • Programming experience is preferred but not required; desirable experience may include Java, Spring, scripting, batch processing, report development, stored procedures, mainframe, or legacy technologies.
  • Experience designing automated parity/comparison gates instead of manual report-by-report checks, and supporting a legacy-to-modern parallel-run/cut-over cycle is preferred.
  • Strong analytical, troubleshooting, problem-solving, communication, facilitation, documentation, and attention-to-detail skills are required.
