Business Systems Analyst - Dallas, TX
Photon · United States · $38,000 (stated in the posting)
We are seeking a detail-oriented and strategically-minded Business Systems Analyst to play a pivotal role in our enterprise-wide platform modernization. You will be the bridge between our current state—a robust but tightly coupled TIBCO-based MDD (Managed Data Delivery) environment—and a future-state architecture designed for modularity, cloud-readiness, and high-velocity operations.
Your mission is to translate complex technical dependencies into actionable requirements that ensure we decouple our systems without disrupting critical SLAs.
Key Responsibilities
- Requirements Engineering: Elicit, analyze, and document comprehensive business and technical requirements. You will translate legacy TIBCO Business Works workflows and MFT configurations into modern, technology-agnostic functional specifications.
- Gap & Dependency Analysis: Conduct deep-dive analysis of the existing "as-is" environment to identify tight couplings and proprietary dependencies. Map these to "to-be" microservices or modular architectural patterns.
- Stakeholder Orchestration: Act as the primary liaison between Business Operations, Enterprise Architecture, and DevOps teams to ensure the modernization roadmap aligns with operational reality and strict performance SLAs.
- SLA & Performance Mapping: Define and document non-functional requirements, ensuring that the modernized platform meets or exceeds current throughput, latency, and reliability benchmarks.
- UAT & Validation: Lead User Acceptance Testing (UAT) efforts, defining test cases that validate functional parity between the legacy TIBCO environment and the new platform.
Required Qualifications
- Experience: 9+ years as a Business Systems Analyst, with a proven track record in middleware or integration modernization projects.
- Technical Literacy: Strong understanding of integration patterns and experience working with TIBCO (BusinessWorks/MFT) or similar enterprise service bus (ESB) technologies.
- Systems Thinking: Ability to deconstruct monolithic or tightly coupled systems into modular, scalable components.
- Agile Proficiency: Expert at writing high-quality User Stories, maintaining backlogs in Jira/Azure DevOps, and participating in Sprint ceremonies.
- Data Driven: Proficient in SQL and data mapping to ensure data integrity during platform transitions.
Preferred Attributes
- Experience with Cloud Migration or Containerization (Docker/Kubernetes).
- Knowledge of modern MFT (Managed File Transfer) alternatives and API Gateway management.
-
Background in financial services or industries with high-compliance/low-latency requirements.
Compensation, Benefits and Duration
- Minimum Compensation: USD 38,000
- Maximum Compensation: USD 135,000
- Compensation is based on actual experience and qualifications of the candidate. The above is a reasonable and a good faith estimate for the role.
- Medical, vision, and dental benefits, 401k retirement plan, variable pay/incentives, paid time off, and paid holidays are available for full time employees.
