Qualifications & Skills 

• Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, or related field. 

• 4+ years of experience in business or technical analysis roles, ideally within FinTech, SaaS, or enterprise platforms. 

• Strong understanding of software development processes and systems architecture. 

• Proficiency in authoring detailed technical specs for engineering consumption. 

• Experience with APIs, data models, system integration, and relational databases. 

• Advanced knowledge of Agile/Scrum methodologies and associated tools (JIRA, Confluence, Asana, etc.). 

• Excellent communication skills; able to influence and build trust with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. 

• Demonstrated ability to operate independently and lead requirements for multiple projects concurrently.
