About the Role
We are seeking a high-caliber Senior System Analyst to join our team. In this role, you will bridge business stakeholders, project leadership, architects, and delivery teams for a large-scale digital integration program. You will translate business, operational, and regulatory needs into clear functional and technical requirements across integration services, event streaming, the developer portal, reporting, and operations. Additionally, you will coordinate interface requirements with the AI engineering workstream, although AI model design, development, and training fall outside the focus of this role. The ideal candidate is a native Arabic speaker with excellent English fluency and a strong command of the full Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
