This role is ideal for a senior analyst with deep experience in cloud-hosted payment solutions, enterprise integrations, and complex modernization projects.

• Develop user stories, acceptance criteria, workflows, data-flow diagrams, and integration specifications for an integrated AWS-hosted point-of-sale solution.
• Support UAT cycles, validating performance, stability, customer-experience improvements, and compliance outcomes.
• Evaluate sync processes between cloud POS, DMV backend systems, and enterprise financial platforms.
• Support phased statewide rollout preparation, including pilot plans, training coordination, device estate planning, and operational readiness.

Knowledge and Experience:

• Secure API-based payment integrations and data synchronization
• Scalable architecture analysis for high-volume transaction processing
• Performance optimization and monitoring of cloud-hosted transactional systems
• Understanding of PCI DSS v4.0, P2PE, encryption, and tokenization workflows, consistent with the modernization strategy

Required Skills:

• 7 Years - Experience supporting and executing User Acceptance Testing (UAT) for complex enterprise solutions
• 7 Years - Expert-level experience with cloud-hosted point-of-sale (POS) and payment processing solutions
• 7 Years - Strong background in enterprise systems integration and modernization initiatives
