    Job Description

    Job Summary
    • We are seeking a Technical Business Process Analyst with experience in software engineering and security-focused processes. This role partners closely with software engineering, product management, security, compliance, and IT teams to analyze, design, and optimize business and delivery processes that support secure-by-design software development. The ideal candidate understands how business workflows, engineering practices, and security controls intersect across the software lifecycle.
    • This is a hands-on, execution-focused role designed to define software engineering procedures and augment internal teams by turning draft content and evolving practices into clear, consistent, and publish-ready documentation and processes. The ideal candidate is highly detail-oriented, comfortable working from partially formed inputs, and skilled at translating complex technical and security concepts into usable, developer-friendly artifacts.

    Key Responsibilities
    • Translate security requirements and standards into actionable engineering procedures
    • Identify gaps, inefficiencies, and security risks in existing processes
    • Gather inputs and feedback from subject matter experts and incorporate changes efficiently
    • Document "to-be" processes that embed security requirements into engineering workflows with clear handoffs and responsibilities such as
    • Process flows
    • Swimlane diagrams
    • Step-by-step procedures
    • Assist with editing, finalizing, and publishing draft:
    • Technical security standards
    • Technical security procedures
    • Reusable technical artifact templates
    • Ensure documentation is aligned with approved policies, standards, and engineering practices
    • Ensure requirements remain aligned with evolving engineering practices and platforms
    • Maintain version control, formatting standards, and publishing readiness for technical content
    • Facilitate process mapping and improvement workshops for engineering and security teams
    • Support vulnerability triage workflows, risk acceptance, and remediation tracking
    • Serve as a key liaison between software engineering, architecture, product, security, IT, and compliance teams
    • Excellent documentation, facilitation, analytical, and technical and stakeholder communication skills
    • Drive continuous improvement using data and engineering feedback

    Preferred Qualifications
    • Hands-on experience documenting and improving security-related processes
    • Familiarity with application security concepts such as:
    • Secure SDLC / DevSecOps
    • Vulnerability management
    • Threat modeling basics
    • Familiarity with security frameworks and standards (e.g., NIST)
    • Experience supporting audits, risk assessments, or security reviews
    • Exposure to engineering tools such as GitHub/GitLab, Jira, Confluence, CI/CD pipelines
    • Experience leveraging AI tools to design and automate processes

    What Success Looks Like in This Role
    • Engineering teams move fast without bypassing security
    • Software development processes consistently incorporate security controls
    • Engineering teams clearly understand security-related requirements and workflows
    • Vulnerability and risk management processes are efficient, measurable, and auditable
    • Reduced friction between engineering delivery and security compliance
    • Continuous improvement of secure software practices across the organization
    • Draft security procedures and standards are finalized, consistent, and ready for production use
    • Engineering and security teams clearly understand documented workflows and expectations
    • Documentation templates are reusable and adopted across teams
    • Internal teams spend less time explaining processes and more time executing them

    Skills:
    Key Skills & Competencies
    • Secure-by-design thinking and risk awareness
    • Ability to translate security policy into practical engineering workflows
    • Strong cross-functional influence without authority
    • Process modeling and systems thinking
    • High attention to detail with pragmatism around developer experience
    • Strong technical writing and editing skills for security and engineering audiences
    • Comfort working with ambiguity and iterative drafts
    • Strong organizational and follow-through skills
    • Effective communicator who incorporates feedback quickly

    Education:
    • Required Qualifications
    Bachelor's degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
    4+ years of experience as a Business Analyst or Process Analyst in software engineering or technology environments
    Strong understanding of modern software development practices (Agile, CI/CD, DevOps)
