Technical Business Systems Analyst (BSA)

Technical Business Systems Analyst (BSA) - Toronto (Hybrid)

sls.guru is an end-to-end technology partner. Our team of world-class experts helps accelerate the software development lifecycle (SDLC), from ideation all the way through to delivery and beyond. We bring expertise in program management, business analysis, product design, architecture, development, DevOps, QA, and release support.

What makes us different is how we work. We lead with a human-centered approach because technology only matters if it truly works for the people who use it. We combine deep technical knowledge with genuine human focus, which is why our clients trust us to guide them through their most complex transformations.

We’re looking for a strong Technical Business Systems Analyst (BSA) who thrives at the intersection of business and technology. This role is cloud-first (AWS preferably), API-heavy, working with data modeling and robotic process automation (RPA).

You’ll play a key role in designing and delivering integrations, automation, and data solutions that actually move the needle for our clients. 

That means you’ll go beyond writing requirements. You’ll stay engaged end-to-end, supporting design, testing, and delivery to make sure what’s built truly delivers value.

• Technically confident: You’re very well versed in working with cloud services, APIs, data flows, and automation, and can both support and respectfully challenge engineering teams.
• Business-minded: You connect technical work to real client outcomes and can explain complex solutions in plain language.
• Human-centered: You design with empathy, keeping the end-user experience at the forefront.
• Collaborative Communicator: You thrive in cross-functional teams, communicate openly, and take full ownership of your deliverables.
• End-to-end accountability: you don’t just stop at requirements. You stay engaged through delivery, testing, and implementation to make sure the client’s needs are truly met.

In short: you’re not just here to “check the technical boxes.” You’re here to deliver value and have an impact, bringing together deep technical expertise and a people-first mindset to deliver solutions that last.
