Senior System Analyst

About the company

We're partnering with a fintech company building the embedded card infrastructure for Web3 wallets, neobanks, marketplaces, gig platforms & creator economies — one API covers BIN sponsorship, KYC, FX, compliance & settlement.

Right now, they are a senior-level team of 6 people building the core of the platform from the ground up. They work fast, iterate quickly, and care a lot about strong engineering and structured thinking.

The company is looking for a Senior System Analyst to work directly on the core transactional flows of the product.

What you’ll do

• Design and document end-to-end transaction flows across card processing, crypto rails, and partner APIs — including authorization, clearing, settlement, refunds, reversals, and chargeback/dispute scenarios.
• Specify integrations with processors, BIN sponsors, payment partners, exchanges, and on-chain components: API contracts, data models, sequence diagrams, error and retry behavior, idempotency, and edge cases.
• Work through the math of fee structures, commission schemes, and deal economics when it affects system behavior — and validate that what's built matches what was specified.
• Work with engineering on how on-chain events integrate into off-chain flows — recovery scenarios, stuck transactions, missed events.
• Produce high-quality written artifacts for both internal and external use: technical specifications, integration documents, partner-facing materials, and decision records.

What the team is looking for

• Hands-on experience integrating with liquidity providers, exchanges, or trading infrastructure — and a working understanding of order types (market, limit, stop, etc.) and their trade-offs.
• Deep understanding of one of: card processing or exchange/trading infrastructure — and working familiarity with the other (or willingness to build it quickly).
• Strong grasp of ledger mechanics and double-entry bookkeeping: balances, holds, reversals, reconciliation. You know why money moves twice.
• The ability to hold the full system in your head: business flow, API contracts, data model, failure modes. You move between these layers without losing the thread.
• A track record of turning ambiguous domain problems into documentation engineering can build from — and catching the edge cases before they reach production.
• Strong written English with attention to style, structure, and formatting — your documents are reader-oriented, and you always know what each one is meant to achieve.

Why the role is interesting

• Small senior-level team that cares about how you think and how you reason.
• High ownership and autonomy.
• Direct collaboration with engineers and product leadership.
• Flexible processes and a pragmatic approach to delivery.
• AI-friendly engineering culture (Claude and other AI tools are actively used in development).

Working format

• Fully remote or Cyprus / Dubai setup.
• Flexible location worldwide.
• Expected overlap with Cyprus timezone (~10:00–16:00 Cyprus time).
