We make it a priority to ensure that each member of the Capitecteam feels welcome, valued, focused, and has the opportunity to grow.

Team and Role

The Connect Technology Delivery Team forms part of a dynamic and evolving technology environment within Capitec. The team has transitioned from a primarily data-focused function into a software delivery–driven capability, responsible for designing, developing, and implementing strategic technology solutions that enable Connect’s business objectives.

We are seeking a Systems Analyst to contribute to the design and implementation of Connect’s new Revenue Management System. This platform plays a critical role in tracking sales, cost of sales, and revenue across multiple product lines, with integration points to third-party systems and real-time data flows serving as a source system for the broader bank.

The successful candidate will operate at the intersection of business and technology—translating complex business requirements into actionable, technically sound solutions. This role offers the opportunity to work closely with engineers and architects to ensure robust delivery and alignment to Connect’s technology strategy.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Engage with business stakeholders to gather, analyse, and document system and functional requirements.
• Translate business needs into detailed technical specifications and solution designs.
• Collaborate with software engineering and architecture teams to design and validate system integrations and data flows.
• Participate in the design, testing, and implementation of the new revenue management platform.
• Support delivery teams in ensuring solutions meet business requirements, performance expectations, and compliance standards.
• Contribute to continuous improvement through the identification of optimisation and automation opportunities.

What We Are Looking For

We are looking for a technically skilled and business-savvy Systems Analyst who can bridge the gap between business objectives and technical execution. The ideal candidate is analytical, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

Minimum Requirements:

• 4–6 years of relevant experience in systems analysis or a related technical role.
• Strong understanding of Java, Spring Boot, and Kafka (or equivalent event streaming technologies).
• Proven experience working within AWS environments.
• Demonstrated ability to analyse complex systems and deliver structured, high-quality documentation.
• Strong stakeholder engagement, communication, and problem-solving skills.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience with Infrastructure Code (IaC) and modern deployment pipelines.
• Familiarity with Kubernetes and containerisation.
• Prior experience or interest in transitioning from software engineering to systems analysis.
