Role description

We are looking for a talented Software Analyst to join our experienced international team.

Responsibilities

  • As an Analyst, you will be a member of one of the Multitude Tribe squads with guidance from the Architecture & Analysis chapter.
  • You will work in close co-operation with the product owner of your area. While epics and user stories remain mainly product owner's responsibility, you will also have a key role in ensuring clarity and unambiguity of these definitions and creation of corresponding tasks for other team members if necessary.
  • Based on the inputs provided by business, IT or 3rd party vendors in the form of ideas, epic or user stories (or other form of collaboration), you will analyze possible alternatives and prepare a concept solution in-line with our current architecture.
  • You will design the solution from a functional and architectural point of view to make sure the product and IT solution adhere to our best practices. The level of implementation detail depends on the team's agreement, but a solid understanding of the technology is essential.
  • You will frequently collaborate with and coordinate other analysts, architects, product owners, business stakeholders, developers and testers in different teams and various 3rd party partners to understand the requirements and translate them into a suitable design solution.
  • You will develop and analyze functional, non-functional, and technical specifications (API specifications, sequence, and BPMN diagrams) as an assignment for developers to build and implement technology solutions. You will also be assisting them during the development with questions and issues that have arisen.
  • You will collaborate with testers in your team to ensure testing efforts are aligned with specifications and if necessary, help them with tests and test scenarios as a true agile team member.
  • You will be responsible for the creation and maintenance of central documentation, together with the whole team.

Required skills & qualifications:

  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills. Ability to determine the needs on all sides.
  • Proven track record of end-to-end ownership, taking full accountability for the solution lifecycle from the initial 'epic' refinement to post-deployment validation. You proactively identify potential bottlenecks and collaborate across squads to ensure that the delivered product meets every definition of 'done' and 'quality.'
  • Deeply familiar with micro-service architecture and Domain-Driven Design (DDD) principles, specifically in identifying bounded contexts and defining clear service boundaries. You focus on creating decoupled, scalable designs that mirror business domains, ensuring that APIs are intuitive, and the system remains resilient as it grows.
  • Highly adept at translating architectural recommendations into acionable project implementations. You take a pragmatic approach to adopting new technologies—evaluating their impact on the current stack, facilitating knowledge transfer within the squad, and ensuring that 'out-of-the-box' innovations remain technically sound and maintainable."
  • Independence in solving problems but also knowing when to ask is a must.
  • Previous experience with business requirements, IT/Software design.
  • Experience with ICT analytical tools and notations (UML, BPMN).
  • Technology knowledge (API design, JSON, SQL, Messaging, basics of programming…).
  • Experience working in an Agile environment or basic familiarity with  Agile methodologies.
  • Solid communication in English, considering also reading and writing  skills.
  • Understanding of source code is an advantage.

The salary range for this role is €3,000–€4,500 gross per month.

We Offer

  • A Truly Global Workplace – collaborate with 40+ nationalities across 25+ countries, embracing diversity, inclusion, and cross-cultural innovation
  • Hybrid & Flexible Work – balance your life and career with remote-friendly policies and modern offices across Europe
  • A Culture of Growth – accelerate your development with access to LinkedIn Learning, structured mentorship, and internal leadership programmes (HiPo & People Leader tracks)
  • Workation Programme – work remotely from abroad for up to 2 months per year and experience new cultures while staying connected and productive
  • Financial Growth Opportunities – invest in your future with our share purchase matching programme, doubling your contributions and fostering long-term rewards
