Technical Business Analyst

We're looking for a Technical Business Analyst to join the API Banking team in Nicosia, Cyprus. The API Banking team builds the bank's APIs: the services through which the bank exchanges data and operations with partners, fintech companies and third-party providers. This is a technical BA role focused on APIs, backend and integrations. You'll dig into how the APIs work, write specifications and connect business stakeholders with the development team. Employment is through a contractor company, with a 3-month probation period. What matters: 2.5+ years as a Business Analyst, System Analyst, Product Owner or Product Manager. Solid understanding of RESTful APIs and HTTP: methods, status codes, idempotency, data formats. Experience with API integrations and third-party systems. Understanding of secure authorization: OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, tokens (access/refresh, JWT). Hands-on experience with OpenAPI/Swagger, Postman, sequence diagrams and SQL. Agile experience and backlog management. Writing functional requirements, business processes, user stories and acceptance criteria. Working with cross-functional teams: Product, Engineering, UX, QA. Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Systems, Business or a related field. English B2+ and readiness to work from the Nicosia office 5 days a week. Nice to have: experience in digital banking, payments or fintech; knowledge of PSD2, eIDAS and Open Banking (AISP, PISP, SCA); familiarity with mTLS and API certificates (QWAC/QSealC). What you'll do: Work in an Agile delivery team: planning, grooming and reviews. Turn business needs into system requirements, user stories and acceptance criteria. Build and prioritize the backlog, identify assumptions, edge cases and dependencies. Analyze services that interact with external systems. Describe API contracts in OpenAPI/Swagger and test them in Postman. Draw sequence diagrams for integrations and business processes. Use SQL to analyze data and validate hypotheses. Support onboarding of external partners and keep documentation up to date. Hiring process: HR intro chat → technical interview (REST API, HTTP, integrations, secure authorization, requirements) → interview with the client bank.
