Senior System Analyst (Platform) (Hybrid or Remote)

We're looking for a Senior System Analyst to join our Platform team. You'll own 2–3 domains across core banking, payments, and transfers, taking them end-to-end: from solution design and partner integrations to production support.
If you enjoy deep technical challenges in the financial domain and want real ownership over what you build – this is the role for you.

• Lead analysis for complex, integration-heavy initiatives across core banking and payments domains – involving multiple internal services, external partners, and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Design technical solutions together with the development team – APIs, data models, integration flows, and business processes – considering scalability and reliability.
• Develop and maintain clear technical specifications, system documentation, and integration contracts for development teams.
• Collaborate with Product, Finance, Compliance, and external partners to translate business and regulatory requirements into actionable technical plans.
• Investigate and resolve production issues: trace transactions, analyze data, coordinate with support and operations teams to find root causes and fix them.
• Participate in the full product lifecycle – from discovery and solution design through delivery, testing, and post-launch support.
• Continuously identify opportunities to optimize processes, improve system interactions, and reduce manual work for operations and finance teams.

• 4+ years of experience as a System Analyst or in a similar role (technical project manager, solution analyst).
• Financial services background – banking, payment processing, or fintech; experience with core banking systems, payments, or card processing is a strong advantage.
• Confident SQL skills – enough to independently pull data, investigate incidents, and validate system behavior.
• Strong practical experience leveraging AI coding assistants (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code) to accelerate development, automate workflows; confident in reading, generating, and refining production-ready code with AI collaboration.
• Solid understanding of system architecture patterns: microservices, REST/gRPC APIs, relational databases, asynchronous flows (Kafka or similar).
• Ability to read and understand database schemas, API contracts, JSON/proto files, and technical documentation.
• Strong architectural visualization and documentation skills (UML and Mermaid); experience designing sequence, flow, and relationship diagrams to articulate system behavior and integration logic.
• Experience leading integrations with external partners or complex cross-system projects.
• Strong sense of ownership – you proactively drive initiatives forward, dig into problems independently, and take responsibility for outcomes.
• Fluent English, both written and spoken.

• Familiarity with safeguarding, reconciliation, and treasury operations.
• Hands-on experience with PostgreSQL or Snowflake.

• We have a hybrid model in one of our offices, or fully remote outside office locations.
• We support relocation to Cyprus (visa, package) when needed.
• Competitive salary and benefits package (depending on location).
• Real growth prospects, significant responsibility, and the ability to make an immediate impact from day one.
• Expand your skills with a dedicated learning budget to fuel your professional growth.

Final compensation is determined individually, based on your experience, skills and the scope of the role, assessed against objective, gender-neutral criteria.

At Vivid, we're on a mission to change how businesses and individuals manage their money across Europe.

Our mission? Your success. Everyone deserves the chance to see their finances flourish, and we're dedicated to empowering our customers to make this a reality.

Founded in 2019 in Berlin by Alexander Emeshev and Artem Iamanov, Vivid has quickly grown into one of Germany's top financial platforms for SMEs and private accounts. Since then, we've expanded rapidly across Europe, earning the trust of over 500,000 customers — and with over €200 million raised and a valuation of €775 million, we're just getting started.

We're building Vivid as an AI-native organization — across every function, from product to compliance to operations. Automation handles a growing share of day-to-day execution. For us, this means our teams can focus on architecture, strategy, and high-impact decision-making. This changes how we work: less manual execution, more ownership in building systems that scale. We want to help define what AI-native looks like in a regulated financial environment — and we're looking for people who want to build that future with us.
