- Identify, document, and validate business rules, workflows, decision points, and exception scenarios.
System Analysis & Documentation
- Perform deep-dive analysis of existing enterprise applications to understand current-state functionality, integrations, data flows, and technical constraints.
- Analyze system behavior to identify gaps, enhancement opportunities, and process improvements.
- Maintain comprehensive documentation of application functionality and business processes.
Technical Specification Writing
- Create detailed Functional Requirements Documents (FRDs), Feature Specifications, User Stories, and Acceptance Criteria.
- Develop requirements using structured formats such as GIVEN / WHEN / THEN (BDD) methodologies where appropriate.
- Ensure requirements are complete, testable, traceable, and unambiguous before development begins.
Process & Data Modeling
- Create process flows, decision trees, state diagrams, and system interaction diagrams using tools such as Mermaid.js, Visio, Miro, or similar platforms.
- Document end-to-end business processes and system interactions.
- Model data entities, relationships, and mappings across integrated systems.
API & Integration Analysis
- Collaborate with architects and technical leads to document APIs, integration points, data contracts, and interface requirements.
- Analyze JSON payloads, API responses, and data structures to support solution design and implementation.
- Document data transformation and mapping requirements between systems.
Stakeholder Collaboration
- Serve as the liaison between business stakeholders and technical teams.
- Facilitate requirement reviews, walkthroughs, and clarification sessions.
- Resolve requirement ambiguities, conflicts, and gaps through stakeholder engagement.
Agile Delivery Support
- Support backlog refinement and sprint planning activities by ensuring requirements are adequately documented and understood.
- Assist Product Owners and development teams with requirement clarification throughout delivery.
- Participate in Agile ceremonies to provide business and functional context.
Quality & Validation
- Define acceptance criteria and support User Acceptance Testing (UAT).
- Validate delivered solutions against documented requirements.
- Proactively identify edge cases, exception scenarios, and error-handling requirements.
Experience / Knowledge Required Experience
- 5–10+ years of experience as a Technical Business Analyst, Systems Analyst, or Business Systems Analyst in software engineering environments.
- Financial Services or Banking experience strongly preferred.
- Proven experience working on complex enterprise applications and system integrations.
Technical Acumen

- Working knowledge of relational databases, SQL queries, and data mapping concepts.
- Ability to analyze technical artifacts and communicate findings to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Business Analysis Expertise
- Strong requirements elicitation, analysis, documentation, and validation skills.
- Experience creating functional specifications, user stories, process flows, and acceptance criteria.
- Ability to identify business impacts, dependencies, and risks.
Agile Experience

- Proficiency with Jira, Confluence, Azure DevOps, or similar tools.
- Understanding of backlog management and refinement processes without being the owner of product prioritization.
Communication & Documentation
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
- Strong facilitation and stakeholder management capabilities.
- Ability to translate business language into technical requirements and technical concepts into business language.
Bonus Qualifications (Strong Pluses)
- Experience in Wealth Management, Digital Banking, or Financial Technology platforms.
- Familiarity with Markdown documentation standards.
- Experience with Mermaid.js, Miro, Visio, or other diagramming tools.
- Knowledge of BDD (Behavior-Driven Development) methodologies.
- Experience establishing and enforcing Definition of Ready (DoR) standards.
- Experience performing application audits, reverse engineering business logic, and documenting legacy systems with limited existing documentation
