Bus Sys Analysis Specialist in Toronto

The Business Systems Analysis Specialist is a senior technology professional responsible for translating complex business needs into clear, actionable technical requirements and solution specifications. The role works closely with Product Owners, Software Engineers, Architects, Quality Engineers and business stakeholders throughout the full Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). The successful candidate must be comfortable working with modern distributed applications involving APIs, batch processing, microservices and databases, and be able to understand how changes impact systems and data across an end-to-end solution.

Key Responsibilities:

• Analyze complex business needs and translate them into functional and technical requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria and system specifications.
• Perform end-to-end impact analysis across applications, APIs, microservices, batches, databases and integration points.
• Understand existing system behaviour and data flows, identify gaps, dependencies and technology impacts, and work with engineering teams to define appropriate solutions.
• Partner with Architects and Engineers to ensure requirements align with solution architecture, security, performance and operational expectations.
• Review requirements and technical deliverables throughout the lifecycle to identify gaps or areas requiring redesign.

Technical Analysis:

• REST APIs and service integrations, including endpoints, requests/responses, payloads, errors and dependencies.
• Batch processing, including inputs/outputs, schedules, dependencies, data transformations and failure scenarios.
• Microservices architectures and interactions between distributed services.
• Databases and data models, including tables, relationships, queries, data mapping and data flows.
• End-to-end system dependencies and the impact of changes across applications and releases.

The role is not primarily a software development position, but the candidate must be technically strong enough to work directly with engineering and architecture teams and challenge or clarify technical requirements when necessary.

Agile Delivery & SDLC:

• Strong practical knowledge of Agile Scrum Kanban Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
• Comfortable working with Product Owners and engineering teams to refine backlog items, break business capabilities into implementable requirements, define acceptance criteria, identify dependencies and support delivery through development, testing, release and production readiness.

Required Qualifications:

• 7+ years of relevant technology / systems analysis experience.
• Strong experience translating complex business requirements into technical and functional specifications.
• Strong understanding of APIs, batch processing, microservices and relational databases.
• Experience analyzing end-to-end integrations and data flows across multiple applications.
• Strong hands-on knowledge of Agile, Scrum and Kanban delivery models.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work independently on complex initiatives while collaborating effectively with business and technology stakeholders.
