About The Position

We're seeking a highly technical Systems Analyst/Technical Analyst to support the modernization of a legacy application and contribute to the design of new, scalable system capabilities. You'll work directly with engineering, product, and business partners to break down complex problems, define precise system requirements, and influence technical design decisions across multiple platforms. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in deep system analysis, understands distributed architectures, and can anticipate technical constraints before they become blockers. This position must be performed on-site in Smithfield, RI.

Requirements

10+ years translating business needs into detailed system requirements and technical specifications.
6+ years analyzing and designing distributed, modular systems across 3 tier or service based architectures.
