Senior System Analyst (Platform)

We're looking for a Senior System Analyst to join our Platform team. You'll own 2–3 domains across core banking, payments, and transfers, taking them end-to-end: from solution design and partner integrations to production support. 
If you enjoy deep technical challenges in the financial domain and want real ownership over what you build – this is the role for you.

Your Mission

• Lead analysis for complex, integration-heavy initiatives across core banking and payments domains – involving multiple internal services, external partners, and cross-functional stakeholders.

• Design technical solutions together with the development team – APIs, data models, integration flows, and business processes – considering scalability and reliability.

• Develop and maintain clear technical specifications, system documentation, and integration contracts for development teams.

• Collaborate with Product, Finance, Compliance, and external partners to translate business and regulatory requirements into actionable technical plans.

• Investigate and resolve production issues: trace transactions, analyze data, coordinate with support and operations teams to find root causes and fix them.

• Participate in the full product lifecycle – from discovery and solution design through delivery, testing, and post-launch support.

• Continuously identify opportunities to optimize processes, improve system interactions, and reduce manual work for operations and finance teams.

Your Profile

• 4+ years of experience as a System Analyst or in a similar role (technical project manager, solution analyst).

• Financial services background – banking, payment processing, or fintech; experience with core banking systems, payments, or card processing is a strong advantage.

• Confident SQL skills – enough to independently pull data, investigate incidents, and validate system behavior.

• Practical experience leveraging AI coding assistants (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code) to accelerate development, automate workflows; confident in reading, generating, and refining production-ready code with AI collaboration.

• Solid understanding of system architecture patterns: microservices, REST/gRPC APIs, relational databases, asynchronous flows (Kafka or similar).

• Ability to read and understand database schemas, API contracts, JSON/proto files, and technical documentation.

• Strong architectural visualization and documentation skills (UML and Mermaid); experience designing sequence, flow, and relationship diagrams to articulate system behavior and integration logic.

• Experience leading integrations with external partners or complex cross-system projects.

• Strong sense of ownership – you proactively drive initiatives forward, dig into problems independently, and take responsibility for outcomes.

• Fluent English, both written and spoken.

Nice to have:

• Familiarity with safeguarding, reconciliation, and treasury operations.

• Hands-on experience with PostgreSQL or Snowflake.

Why Join Vivid?

• We have a hybrid model in one of our offices, or fully remote outside office locations. 

• We support relocation to Cyprus (visa, package) when needed. 

• Competitive salary and benefits package (depending on location). 

• Real growth prospects, significant responsibility, and the ability to make an immediate impact from day one.

• Expand your skills with a dedicated learning budget to fuel your professional growth.
