Business Systems Analyst

Overview

Position:
Business Systems Analyst (BSA)

Client

Location:

Toronto

Work Model: hybrid

Duration: 5 Months

• Independently draft business and technical user stories and collaborate effectively with Tech Leads.
• Draft technical user stories for components such as APIs, ETL pipelines, event-driven consumers, and data transformation logic.
• Read and interpret API specs, data schemas, and architecture diagrams to inform requirements.

• 5+ years in a BSA or similar role, with a prior background in software development, technical analysis, or a closely related technical discipline.
• Must be able to independently draft technical user stories for components such as APIs, ETL pipelines, event-driven consumers, and data transformation logic - even if Tech Lead review is expected before finalisation.
• Working understanding of REST APIs, ETL pipelines, and messaging/event-driven systems (Kafka, queues, or equivalent).
• Solid data mapping and data analysis skills.
• Proficient with Jira, Confluence, and requirements traceability.
• Comfortable reading API specs, data schemas, and architecture diagrams independently.

• This is not a role for someone who expects the Tech Lead to write or heavily draft technical stories. The BSA owns the first cut; the Tech Lead validates.
• This is not a purely functional BSA role. Candidates without a technical foundation will not be set up for success.

• Banking or wealth management domain knowledge.
• Exposure to AWS services (Lambda, MSK, S3, or similar).
