About The Role

Salmon's tariff, cashback, and premium banking logic today lives split across the core banking system, individual front-ends, and separate product teams — you'll design and own the master system that unifies it.

What You'll Do

• Design the technical architecture for a single tariff master system, replacing logic currently split across the core banking system, front-end implementations, and individual product teams.
• Own the Cashback and Tariffs Service stream end-to-end, from discovery to release, coordinating dependencies between the two services and with the credit card, deposit, and premium banking teams they touch.
• Work in close, daily collaboration with development, QA, and the team lead across the full delivery cycle — starting with migrating existing tariffs into the master system and designing the subscription entity.
  
  

What You'll Own

• Own end-to-end systems analysis for the Cashback and Tariffs Service stream, from requirements gathering through release.
• Define functional and non-functional requirements, API contracts, and integration specs for a system that will eventually underpin every product line.
• Design the core entities behind the tariff master system — including how a subscription is modeled and how a tariff attaches to a customer.
• Coordinate dependencies between Cashback and Tariffs Service and the teams building against them.

• Maintain documentation in Confluence and hold the team to DOR/DOD standards.
• Communicate status transparently, surfacing risk and delay before they become a surprise.
  
  

What Makes You a Strong Fit

• Experience as a systems or business analyst in fintech or banking product teams.
• Strong systems thinking and comfort with ambiguity — you can design a solution independently, not just execute a spec.
• Experience designing API contracts and integration specifications.
• Working experience with Agile/Scrum, Jira, and Confluence.
• Comfortable owning a technical problem end-to-end, with high visibility on progress and without needing close direction.
