Contract

Overview:

We are seeking an experienced Senior Business Systems Analyst (AI Enablement) to support ***’s AI transformation initiatives. This role will partner with ***’s BSA team, IT leadership, and PMO to understand current SDLC processes, identify pain points, gaps, and inconsistencies across teams, and translate findings into a more streamlined, AI-enabled operating model.

The BSA will assess our current requirements elicitation process and help define how an AI-infused approach can significantly improve the thoroughness, completeness, and quality of user requirements specifically for consumption by an AI coding agent. This includes identifying cross-system dependencies, non-functional requirements, and user personas from initial requirement elicitation through Jira story creation. This role will help transform our BSA capabilities by leveraging custom-built AI solutions to accelerate cycle time, improve consistency, and reduce downstream rework.

This role will also define measurable success criteria and develop metrics to evaluate process improvements and AI impact across the SDLC: gathering requirements across several other SDLC-related AI initiatives and provide light project management support across multiple AI workstreams.

Key Responsibilities

Assess current BA workflows, documentation standards, and impact analysis processes from user requirement elicitation through Jira story creation, identifying gaps, redundancies, inconsistencies and improvements across teams.

Identify friction points and define AI-enabled use cases with measurable business outcomes.

Drive feedback loops for AI proofs of concept (POCs) delivered to teams by gathering structured user input, measuring adoption and effectiveness, and incorporating insights into iterative improvements.

Develop clear, actionable requirements including user stories, acceptance criteria, non-functional requirements, personas, and upstream/downstream system impacts.

Determine and help establish processes or patterns to ensure user requirements align with current system capabilities. Proactively identify cross-system dependencies, technical constraints, gaps, and system limitations in collaboration with engineering teams to ensure requirements are technically feasible and implementation-ready.

Support backlog grooming, sprint planning, demos, and pilot validation sessions.

Track progress across multiple AI initiatives, manage dependencies and risks, and maintain clear stakeholder communication.

Develop and maintain lightweight project plans, timelines, and status reporting to ensure AI initiatives remain aligned with business priorities and strategic objectives.

Required Qualifications

5+ years of Business Analysis or Business Systems Analysis experience in technology or software environments.

Strong requirements elicitation, documentation, and facilitation skills.

Experience working in Agile environments with cross-functional teams.

Practical familiarity with AI tools (e.g., Claude Code CLI, ChatGPT, Copilot) and understanding of AI concepts (LLMs, prompt engineering, AI governance, and AI risk considerations).

Strong systems thinking, structured communication, and stakeholder management skills.

Preferred Experience

Experience implementing AI or automation solutions within enterprise environments.

Familiarity with AWS AI services (e.g., AWS Bedrock) or other enterprise AI platforms.

Familiarity with Jira, Confluence, GitHub, or similar SDLC ecosystems.

Experience supporting PMO processes or managing multiple concurrent initiatives along with a functional understanding of Agile practices.

Financial services or insurance industry experience.

Success Measures

Successful delivery of an AI-enabled solution for ***’s BSA team.

Improved BA workflow efficiency, quality, and consistency.

High-quality, implementation-ready requirements that reduce downstream rework and delivery thrash.

Effective coordination, transparency, and measurable progress across AI initiatives.

Your new trajectory starts here at Launch!

The Role:

Launch is actively seeking a visionary Solutions Architect / Principal Software Engineering Lead (AI) to design and deliver modern engineering and applied AI solutions across client engagements. This role blends deep hands‑on engineering, architectural leadership, AI system design, and client advisory. You will operate across system design, production‑grade engineering, multi‑agent architectures, cloud platform strategy, and the development of Launch’s AI practice.

Responsibilities Include:

Architecture & Technical Strategy

• Define the technical direction for client engagements end-to-end: discovery, design, build, and production hardening.
• Assess client technology ecosystems and identify high-impact opportunities for AI/ML integration.
• Lead architecture reviews, design sessions, and technology selection across cross-functional stakeholder groups.
• Translate ambiguous business problems into concrete engineering plans with clear scope, milestones, and risk callouts.

AI Engineering & Delivery

• Architect production agentic systems including multi-agent orchestration, agent harnesses, skill/tool composition, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, and inter-agent communication protocols (e.g., A2A, MCP).
• Build and govern MCP server ecosystems: design, deploy, and secure Model Context Protocol integrations connecting AI agents to enterprise data sources, internal APIs, and third-party platforms.
• Define agent skill and capability frameworks including reusable skill libraries, prompt engineering standards, and evaluation harnesses for consistent agent behavior across engagements.
• Architect RAG pipelines, fine-tuning workflows, and model lifecycle infrastructure (training, serving, experiment tracking) as foundational components of agentic systems.
• Integrate AI platforms and APIs (Azure OpenAI, Amazon Bedrock, Anthropic, Vertex AI) into production systems with enterprise-grade reliability, cost governance, and observability.
• Establish AI-native development practices: embed tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot into team workflows with standards for AI-assisted code review, test generation, and documentation.
• Design evaluation and observability infrastructure including LLM eval frameworks, red-teaming, behavioral drift detection, and production monitoring across tool call chains, latency, and failure modes.
• Apply responsible AI governance: define guardrails, access controls, and audit patterns for agentic workflows in enterprise environments including scope containment and escalation paths.

Hands-On Engineering

• Write production code and lead by example — this role requires someone who is still close to the code.
• Design cloud-native architectures across multiple hyperscalers (AWS and Azure primarily) microservices, event-driven systems, serverless, and containerized workloads.
• Define and implement infrastructure-as-code using tools such as Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation, or Bicep.
• Design and optimize CI/CD pipelines, GitOps workflows, and container orchestration using Docker and Kubernetes.
• Establish observability and reliability practices using tools such as Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, or Azure Monitor.
• Drive security-by-design across the delivery lifecycle including IAM, network architecture, secrets management, and compliance automation.

Leadership & Client Advisory

• Lead engineering teams ranging from small squads to 10+ person delivery teams, scaling leadership approach to the needs of each engagement.
• Mentor and develop engineers at all levels through code reviews, pairing, and design coaching.
• Operate as a trusted advisor to client technical leadership and executive stakeholders. Communicate trade-offs clearly and build confidence.
• Influence without direct authority — driving alignment across cross-functional teams through technical credibility and stakeholder management.
• Lead discovery and requirements elicitation, surfacing the underlying business need beyond the stated request.
• Produce clear written artifacts: technical proposals, architecture decision records, SOWs, and executive-level status communication.
• Grow client relationships and identify follow-on opportunities through proposal contributions and delivery-driven account expansion.
• Contribute to Launch's growth — practice development, thought leadership, and hiring.

Qualifications:

Must-Haves:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• 10+ years in software engineering with demonstrated experience in architecture and technical leadership roles.
