About This Role

The Business Systems Analyst will focus on improving governance and architecture diligence for data and streaming platforms to enable faster, safer onboarding, reduce risks at scale, and ensure compliance. This role involves turning standards into actionable checklists, applying AI to streamline reviews, and enhancing data integrity across teams for event-driven solutions.

Responsibilities

  • Shorten time-to-platform for Kafka/Artemis by front-loading governance and architecture diligence, reducing rework
  • Catch design and data compliance issues early, preventing downstream incidents, audit findings, and costly retrofits
  • Turn standards into actionable, right-sized checklists and templates, balancing control with speed
  • Apply AI thoughtfully to triage requests, summarize architectures, and surface governance gaps, boosting throughput and consistency
  • Establish transparent intake paths, readiness criteria, and decision records for operational clarity
  • Improve data integrity and schema lifecycle hygiene across teams, strengthening reliability of event-driven solutions
  • Bridge platform, security, architecture, and product teams to ensure designs are feasible, compliant, and value-driven

Requirements

  • 3-5+ years in Business/Data Analysis, Data Governance, or Platform Enablement roles
  • Hands-on experience onboarding teams to data/streaming platforms (e.g., Kafka) or messaging systems (e.g., Artemis or equivalent)
  • Proven track record reviewing solution architectures and integration patterns for data quality, security, and compliance risks
  • Experience facilitating data governance processes (metadata, lineage, classification, stewardship, retention, and access controls)
  • Background working with cross-functional teams (platform engineering, security, architecture, and product)
  • Familiarity with regulated environments and enterprise data standards (e.g., SOX, HIPAA, PCI, GDPR, CCPA)
  • Exposure to event-driven architectures, pub/sub design, and schema management (e.g., Confluent Schema Registry or equivalent)
  • Experience building or maintaining documentation, workflows, and playbooks for platform onboarding and governance reviews

Qualifications

  • 3-5+ years in Business/Data Analysis, Data Governance, or Platform Enablement roles
