• Stakeholder Collaboration: Build strong partnerships with business users, technical leads, and project managers to ensure a shared understanding of project goals and requirements throughout the project lifecycle. 
• Technical Translation: Translate business needs into clear, unambiguous technical requirements, including user stories, acceptance criteria, process flows (BPMN), and functional specifications. 
• Data Analysis & Validation: Work with data owners and technical teams to analyze data sources, define data requirements, and ensure that solutions meet business needs for reporting and insights. 
• Documentation & Communication: Create and maintain comprehensive project documentation, ensuring that requirements and process changes are clearly communicated and accessible to all stakeholders. 
• Solution Validation: Partner with QA and business users to define test cases and participate in User Acceptance Testing (UAT) to ensure that developed solutions meet the original business objectives

 
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Information Systems, Economics, or a related field; additional years of experience may be substituted in lieu of a degree.  
• 8+ years of experience in a Business Analyst role, preferably within a technology or data-centric organization. 
• Proven experience in requirements elicitation, process mapping, and creating business and functional documentation. 
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to deconstruct complex problems into actionable components. 
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a proven ability to engage effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. 
• Must be a U.S. Citizen

• Experience with requirements management tools like Jira or Azure DevOps. 
• Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) or similar certification is a plus. 
• Exposure to data, AI/ML, or business intelligence projects. 
   

Come break things (in a good way). Then build them smarter.

We're the tech company everyone calls when things get weird. We don’t wear capes (they’re a safety hazard), but we do solve high-stakes problems with code, caffeine, and a healthy disregard for “how it’s always been done.”
