Who we are looking for : As a talented  technical business analyst , you will collect user stories, manage the product backlog, and write high-quality change requests.

Where needed, you will contribute to and maintain detailed specifications for the product's functionality.

You will be part of a brilliant, fast-paced, customer- and quality-oriented team!

You will thrive in this role if you : Have a mindset for incremental success  as opposed to building an "everything package" in one go.

Love finding high-impact, low-complexity solutions to the problem at hand.

Are a proactive communicator; you are capable of both extracting the knowledge from the team and doing your own research, as well as having a natural intuition on combining these two approaches.

Are a self-starter who thrives without micromanagement (“ a manager of one ”).

Think in terms of systems, intuitively understanding how any given change will impact the adjacent areas of the product.

Are scrupulous and attentive to detail and leave no stone unturned when doing work.

At the same time, you know when to apply the 80 / 20 rule and prioritise "done" over "perfect".

Have a hunch about development complexity, which helps you make better product decisions.

Responsibilities : Collect, process, file, and prioritise key product initiatives, user stories, and individual work items.

Ongoing communication with Software Engineers, QA, and Technical Writers.

Answer their questions, conduct reviews, schedule demos, nudge for updates – anything you need to get the job done.  Your job is to support the rest of the engineering team to ensure the timeliness, product fit, good scope, and quality of the solutions we deliver .

Write high-quality, consistent and detailed specifications and change requests to guide the product development.

Document functional and non-functional product requirements.

This will be an agile and iterative activity, not a "write once" kind of job – we're updating our specifications, stories, and expected behaviours continuously in tight communication with multiple stakeholders.

For example, this will occur when limitations (or a better solution) are identified during feature implementation or when we receive stakeholder feedback.

Conduct acceptance testing of completed development work.

Enter detected defects and follow-up work items into the issue tracker.

A past deeply technical background (e.g., engineering, architecture, or QA) would greatly help you in this role.
