A systems/requirements analyst/architect is an individual who plays a crucial role in the systems development life cycle (SDLC) of a software project. The SDLC of a software project may include systems analysts, architects, designers, developers, and testers, playing separate but interlinked roles. However, at Sharks Web Services LTD, a systems/requirements analyst/architect performs the functions of an analyst, architect, designer, and tester.

We seek to recruit one additional member to our systems analysis/architecture team.

The successful candidate will gather software requirements, design, and test brand new systems that the company plans to develop and deploy and/or components of existing software whose functionality the company plans to modify and/or extend.

By effectively communicating with system stakeholders and software developers, conducting thorough research, and applying his/her own business and technical knowledge, the systems analyst will produce a requirements specification document by:

• identifying user needs;
• analyzing, prioritizing, and documenting the user needs to come up with systems requirements; and
• designing the appearance (user interface), technical functionality, and error handling of the system.

The requirements specification document may consist of diagrams, graphical representations, use cases, storyboards, algorithm flowcharts, et cetera.

The systems architect will then present the requirements specification document to software developers for implementation. After the software developers implement the system, the systems architect will test the system to ascertain that it conforms to their requirements specification document. The systems architect will present any bugs identified from such testing to the software developers for rectification.

Education and Skills

• Great in mathematics.
• Excellent problem-solving skills.
• The successful candidate should possess a highly logical, investigative, and analytical mind.

• A fast learner. Willingness and ability to research, learn, and apply new ideas quickly is extremely vital.
• Attentive to detail. The ability to receive, decipher, process, break down, and explain complex technical information in a clear and non-ambiguous manner to non-technical individuals is important.
