Job Description

Our client seeks a contract resource for the Application Development Senior Systems Analyst role. The resource will analyze complex existing applications, reconstruct undocumented behavior and dependencies, troubleshoot technical problems, and produce detailed technical designs that development teams can implement and support. The position works across application code, databases, interfaces, background processing, configuration, deployment, testing, and operational support.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Analyze business and technical requirements with Team Leads, Product Owners, business analysts, developers, and other participants. Create and track technical tasks, dependencies, risks, and acceptance criteria in Azure DevOps.
  
• Inspect source code, databases, configuration, logs, integrations, scheduled processes, deployment assets, and operating environments to reconstruct and document current application behavior.
  
• Identify undocumented assumptions, dependencies, manual processes, environment differences, data requirements, failure conditions, and operational constraints.
  
• Produce implementation-ready specifications covering application changes, database changes, interfaces, data flows, background processing, configuration, deployment, security, testing, monitoring, support, recovery, and rollback.
  
• Analyze database lifecycle requirements, including schema deployment, migrations, reference and configuration data, bootstrap data, transactional data, masking, synthetic data, integrity, and repeatability.
  
• Analyze integration behavior and define appropriate timeout, retry, concurrency, idempotency, error-handling, reconciliation, logging, and recovery requirements.
  
• Compare feasible implementation approaches and document their consequences, risks, dependencies, and operational costs. Provide a supported recommendation to the Application Development Manager.
  
• Develop targeted prototypes, database scripts, queries, test harnesses, and automation when needed to validate assumptions or demonstrate feasibility.
  
• Produce system-context and dependency diagrams, data flows, interface contracts, sequence descriptions, acceptance criteria, risk analyses, decision records, and operational runbooks.
  
• Lead structured discovery sessions and technical teachbacks, challenge unsupported assumptions constructively, and obtain decisions from the appropriate owners.
  
• Assist Team Leads and Product Owners with technical decomposition, estimation, sequencing, implementation planning, and acceptance.
  
• Remain engaged through implementation to answer design questions, evaluate deviations, validate completed work, and confirm that the solution can be deployed and supported as intended.
  
• Use approved AI-assisted engineering tools for source analysis, documentation, prototyping, testing, and traceability while independently validating results and protecting restricted information.
  
• Trace data lineage and logical relationships across databases, applications, interfaces, stored procedures, views, triggers, scheduled processes, and shared business identifiers, including dependencies that are not represented by formal database constraints.
  
• Identify and document environment-specific dependencies and controls, including endpoints, credentials and secrets, certificates, scheduled processing, external integrations, messaging, file locations, and other configuration that must differ between production and non-production environments.
  
• Validate reconstructed behavior through source inspection, database analysis, logs, execution traces, controlled experiments, prototypes, and comparison with observed system behavior rather than relying solely on existing documentation or stakeholder recollection.
  

Requirements

• 5+ years of progressively responsible experience developing, analyzing, designing, integrating, or troubleshooting complex production application systems, including substantial hands-on experience with application code and relational databases.
  
• Experience must demonstrate responsibility for independently analyzing existing systems and producing technical designs for implementation by others.
  
• 2+ years of experience configuring, implementing, analyzing, or troubleshooting enterprise applications in a networked environment.
  
• Strong hands-on experience with C#/.NET, SQL Server and T-SQL, web applications and services, REST APIs, background or scheduled processing, source control, build and release automation, and Windows/IIS-hosted environments, or directly comparable technologies
  
• Strong hands-on experience with both legacy and modern Microsoft application environments, including C#/.NET Framework and contemporary .NET, SQL Server and T-SQL, web applications and services, REST and SOAP APIs, background or scheduled processing, source control, build and release automation, and Windows/IIS-hosted environments, or directly comparable technologies.
