Job Description:
Business Analyst (Java / DevOps Background)
Long-Term Contract | Canada (Onsite 4 Days / Week) | Rate: $30 USD ≈ $41 CAD per hour
Position Summary
We are seeking a hands-on Business Analyst with a strong technical foundation in Java development and DevOps practices. This is a long-term contract opportunity based in Canada, requiring four (4) days onsite each week. The ideal candidate bridges the gap between business stakeholders and engineering teams, translating complex business needs into clear technical requirements while bringing the credibility and depth of a former developer. We are looking for a true owner — someone who drives initiatives forward, anticipates problems, and delivers outcomes without needing to be managed.
Engagement Details
• Role Type: Long-term contract
• Location: Canada — 4 days onsite, 1 day remote
• Pay Rate: $30 USD per hour (approximately $41 CAD per hour at current exchange rates)
• Schedule: Full-time hours, standard business week
Note: CAD amount is an approximate conversion based on prevailing exchange rates and may fluctuate. Final compensation will be paid at $30 USD/hour.
Key Responsibilities
• Partner with business stakeholders to elicit, analyze, document, and validate functional and non-functional requirements.
• Translate business needs into clear user stories, acceptance criteria, technical specifications, and process flows.
• Collaborate closely with Java development teams to refine designs, review implementation approaches, and remove blockers.
• Engage with DevOps and platform teams on CI/CD pipelines, deployment strategies, environment readiness, and release planning.
• Lead and facilitate requirement workshops, backlog grooming, sprint planning, and stakeholder review sessions.
• Perform gap analysis between current-state and future-state systems and recommend pragmatic solutions.
• Support QA teams by clarifying requirements, reviewing test cases, and validating delivered functionality.
• Take ownership of assigned workstreams end-to-end — from discovery through delivery and post-implementation support.
• Proactively identify risks, dependencies, and process improvements; drive resolution rather than escalating without action.
• Produce high-quality documentation: BRDs, FRDs, process diagrams, data flow diagrams, and runbooks.
Required Skills & Experience
Business Analysis
• Proven experience as a Business Analyst on enterprise-scale technology delivery programs.
• Strong skills in requirement elicitation, user story writing, process mapping, and stakeholder management.
• Comfortable working in Agile/Scrum environments and using tools such as Jira and Confluence.
• Excellent written and verbal communication; ability to translate technical detail for business audiences and vice versa.
Development Background
• Prior hands-on software development experience (not just BA exposure to dev teams).
• Strong understanding of the full software development lifecycle (SDLC).
• Comfortable reading code, reviewing pull requests at a high level, and discussing design trade-offs with engineers.
Java Development
• Hands-on experience with Java and the Java/JEE ecosystem (Spring/Spring Boot preferred).
• Familiarity with REST APIs, microservices architecture, and integration patterns.
• Working knowledge of relational databases and SQL.
DevOps
• Practical exposure to CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps).
• Familiarity with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes) concepts.
• Understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and modern deployment practices.
• Comfortable reading build logs, troubleshooting environment issues, and partnering with platform engineers.
Ownership & Mindset
• Demonstrated track record of taking initiatives from ambiguity to delivery without close oversight.
• Strong sense of accountability — owns outcomes, not just tasks.
• Proactive problem solver who escalates with proposed solutions, not just problems.
• Collaborative, low-ego, and able to influence across business and technical teams.
Nice to Have
• Experience in financial services, banking, insurance, or other regulated industries.
• Exposure to event-driven architectures (Kafka, RabbitMQ, etc.).
• Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation).
• Experience working in distributed/hybrid teams across multiple time zones.
Logistics & Eligibility
• Must be legally authorized to work in Canada for the duration of the contract.
• Must be able to commute to the client site 4 days per week.
• Long-term engagement; candidates seeking short-term assignments will not be considered.
