About the role

We're looking for an experienced Senior Systems Analyst to join our technology delivery team at P8IO Pty. Ltd. supporting a major banking client's enterprise and cloud transformation programs. You'll work closely with business stakeholders, product owners, architects, and engineering teams to translate complex business requirements into scalable, compliant, and secure system solutions. This is a hands-on analyst role spanning requirements gathering, solution design, and delivery assurance across microservices and event-driven architecture.

Key responsibilities

• Work with business users and stakeholders to formulate, document, and validate business and system requirements

• Identify, investigate, and analyse existing business processes, procedures, and system workflows to uncover inefficiencies and improvement opportunities

• Recommend optimal system functionality, integration approaches, and technical solutions to meet evolving business needs

• Author comprehensive technical design documentation — including architecture diagrams, sequence diagrams, and functional specifications — to guide development teams

• Develop functional specifications and API specifications for use by developers, ensuring consistency and traceability across delivery streams

• Apply project and delivery methodologies to estimate effort, plan sprints, and manage risks across concurrent workstreams

• Take ownership of deploying functional solutions end-to-end, including creating and executing system test plans and technical verification documents to ensure production readiness

• Partner with Product Owners, Solution Architects, and QA Engineers to validate designs, close integration gaps, and de-risk delivery

• Conduct code and design reviews to ensure solutions meet engineering standards, performance benchmarks, and maintainability goals

• Act as a central point of reference for the team, providing guidance during project decision-making and technical escalations

About you

• 15+ years' experience in systems analysis, design, and delivery within enterprise environments, ideally banking or financial services

• Strong hands-on background in Java, Spring Boot, microservices, and event-driven architecture (Kafka, Solace, IBM MQ, Apache Camel)

• Proven experience authoring technical design documentation and functional specifications for complex, multi-team delivery programs

• Track record of end-to-end ownership — from requirements through design, testing, and production cutover

• Experience with Agile delivery, JIRA/Confluence, and cross-functional stakeholder collaboration

• Strong mentoring and team leadership capability

• Cloud certification (e.g. Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect) highly regarded
