** Overview*
* GovCIO is currently hiring for a technical business analyst with testing experience to join one of our federal contract delivery teams that is building a secure, event-driven digitalization platform. This is a US remote position that requires a Public Trust clearance.

This role requires technical fluency to sucessfully flex between requirements-heavy phases that focus on translating business needs into developer-ready specifications to bridge the gap between stakeholders and developers, and testing cycles that leverage requirements expertise to inform and support the testing strategy and execution, ultimately ensuring requirements are met and quality outcomes are achieved.

** Responsibilities*
* The primary responsibilities of this role are requirements centric, with the secondary responsibilities centering around supporting test cycles.  The technical business analyst will:

+ Elicit, analyze, and document functional and data requirements from various stakeholder groups; maintain requirements traceability and documentation.

+ Translate business needs into well-structured requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria that engineers can execute against and that can drive automated test development.

+ Identify ambiguities and gaps proactively to flag risks to scope, feasibility, or compliance before they reach development.

+ Partner with operations and platform teams to understand how requirements interact with system constraints, data pipelines, and integration points.

+ Develop and maintain data flow diagrams, process models, and system context documentation.

+ Write and maintain test cases, test plans, and traceability matrices linked to requirements.

+ Work closely with engineers to validate that implemented features match intent by participating in reviews, demos, and behavior-driven development (BDD) scenario definition.

+ Support defect tracking and contribute to testing documentation.

+ Produce testing summary reports and sign-off documentation for releases and compliance checkpoints.

** Qualifications*
* ** Required Skills and Experience*
* + Bachelor's degree and 5+ years of combined experience in a business related field (or commensurate experience.)

+ Demonstrated ability to write requirements that are specific, technically precise, and testable.

+ Hands-on experience writing and executing test cases, managing defects, and coordinating UAT.

+ Ability to read API documentation, data schemas, or system architecture diagrams without needing an engineer to translate.

+ Proficiency with Confluence and Jira for requirements management, backlog grooming, and defect tracking.

+ Strong written communication. Able to write clearly for both technical and non-technical audiences.

+ Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments with engineering teams.
