About the project: We’re building a fast-growing professional networking platform and are now entering an exciting new scaling phase — evolving from an early MVP into a robust, modern microservices-based architecture.
About the role: We need a Strong Business Analyst/Project manager who can take a vague client request (e.g., “Make an AI Matching Engine”) and turn it into a concrete mathematical specification for developers. You will also wear the Project Manager hat, managing the Kanban board and ensuring the team has no blockers.
Business Analysis & Solution Design * Translate “Magic” into Logic: The client wants “AI.” You need to define the exact weighted formula (e.g., Rank = 30 points, Visa = 20 points). * Data Modeling: Work with the Lead Architect to define data schemas (e.g., How do we structure a “Job Vacancy” in MongoDB so it filters correctly?). * Feature Specification: Write detailed User Stories and Epics. You are not just writing “As a user...”; you are defining error states, edge cases, and acceptance criteria. * Designer Collaboration: Brief the UX/UI designer. Ensure their beautiful designs are actually buildable within our data structure.
Project Management * Own the Board: Manage the Jira/ClickUp board using Kanban/Scrumban. Ensure tickets move from “To Do” to “Done.” * Risk Management: Identify risks before they become fires. (e.g., “We can’t build the Chat UI because the Backend API spec isn’t ready”). * Rituals: Lead planning sessions and retrospectives. Keep them short and effective. * Transparency: Provide “Brutally Honest” weekly reports to stakeholders. We value clarity over optimism.
You’re perfect candidate for this role if you own these qualifications: * 3+ years as a Business Analyst in software development (Mobile/Web). * You can read a JSON payload. You understand the difference between SQL and NoSQL. You know what an API endpoint is. * Proven experience running Kanban or Scrumban teams. * You don’t just document requirements; you challenge them. If a client asks for a feature that breaks the architecture, you propose a better alternative. * English: B1 (Excellent written and good verbal communication).
Nice to have: * Experience with Marketplace products (Two-sided markets). * Experience documenting migration projects (Legacy -> Microservices). * Familiarity with Figma (for reviewing designs).
