Skills
Must have
- 5+ years as a Business Analyst / Technical BA, with 3+ years on data-intensive projects (data platforms, integrations, analytics, or document/IDP processing).
- Strong SQL — able to independently profile data, validate hypotheses, and write moderately complex queries against PostgreSQL or similar.
- Demonstrated requirements engineering skill — user-story decomposition, acceptance criteria, and at least one formal technique (EARS, BDD/Gherkin, use cases, or equivalent).
- Data modeling literacy — able to read and contribute to data dictionaries, schema specs, ER diagrams, and source-to-target mappings. Understands normalized vs. denormalized models conceptually.
- Process modeling — BPMN or equivalent; mapping current/future-state workflows and identifying automation and exception paths.
- Familiarity with the modern data & AI stack — understands what RAG, vector databases, APIs/microservices, and LLM-based automation are and where they fit (you don't have to build them, but you must sp
- Tooling — Jira, Confluence/Notion, and diagramming tools; comfortable maintaining traceability matrices and living documentation.
- English proficiency: B2+ required (C1 preferred). You'll facilitate workshops, write specs, and translate between business and technical audiences daily.
Nice to have
- Experience specifying agentic / LLM-driven systems — defining "Definition of Done" for non-deterministic outputs and writing guardrail/policy requirements.
- Hands-on with document/IDP projects — POs, ACKs, Invoices, schema/alias matching, confidence scoring, and HITL review workflows.
- Familiarity with Spec-Driven Development (SDD) and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) concept.
- Experience writing YAML/JSON business-rule definitions or configuration-as-spec.
- Light scripting (Python) for data profiling and analysis.
- BI/reporting spec experience (QuickSight, Power BI, Metabase).
- Background in commercial furniture, logistics, distribution, or manufacturing operations.
- Domain exposure to quote-to-install / order management processes.
Full description
The Technical Business Analyst is the bridge between ambiguous business intent and deterministic, buildable specifications for AvantoDev's data and agentic projects. Our platform turns Standard Operating Procedures into executable agent logic ("Code = SOP"), and that translation starts with you. You deconstruct messy business processes — quote-to-install workflows, document-processing pipelines, master-data validation rules — into precise requirements that data engineers and AI engineers can implement and test.
This is not a "write user stories in Jira" role. You will own Spec-Driven Development (SDD) artifacts end-to-end: EARS-formatted requirements, Gherkin acceptance scenarios that define "Definition of Done" for probabilistic agents, data dictionaries and schema specifications, source-to-target mappings, and the business-rule catalogs that become guardrails. You sit at the center of high-entropy data work — defining what "correct" means for a PO, an ACK, an invoice, or a tenant-specific discount rule — and you make sure the rest of the team builds the right thing.
You'll work closely with the Head PM (Carlos Cedeño), the Head Product Manager (Rey Ramirez), data and AI engineers, and stakeholders across the business, translating in both directions: business → spec, and technical complexity → stakeholder-friendly explanation.

This role is 100% remote but only open to candidates based in Latin America (LATAM). Applications outside this region will not be considered.
Requirements & Spec-Driven Development
- Deconstruct complex business processes and user stories into EARS-formatted requirements (Easy Approach to Requirements Syntax) that are unambiguous, testable, and traceable.
- Author Gherkin scenarios (Given/When/Then) that define the "Definition of Done" — including for non-deterministic agent behavior, where you specify the logic path, not just the output.
- Maintain the Master Contextual Package (MCP) traceability: every requirement maps to a business need and to the agent/pipeline logic that implements it.
Data Specification & Analysis
- Build and maintain data dictionaries, schema specifications, and source-to-target mappings for the Bronze → Silver → Gold pipeline and the PostgreSQL schema registry.
- Define field-level validation rules, tolerances, and alias dictionaries (e.g., "Qty Shipped" → quantity) that drive the Schema Matching and validation MCP servers.
- Profile source data, quantify data-quality issues, and write the acceptance criteria for data-quality gates and cross-field validation (e.g., line items sum to total).
