Position Overview:  

Zones.com seeks a Computer Systems Analyst with a specialty in eCommerce to analyze business and technical requirements and design, build, and maintain the enterprise-grade Java systems supporting the company's web platforms, payment-processing systems, and internal APIs. The role also includes designing and building AI-based analysis tools that process transactional and operational data. This position requires the theoretical and applied knowledge gained through a Master's degree program in Computer Science — including advanced coursework in algorithms, distributed systems, software architecture, database systems, and statistical/machine-learning foundations — to perform duties that go beyond routine systems administration or maintenance work.

• Analyze, develop, and secure web payment-processing functionality, including integration with payment gateways/processors, tokenization, and adherence to PCI DSS and related data-security standards (approx. 15% of time). 
• Analyze integration requirements and design, build, and document RESTful and/or SOAP APIs for internal and partner-facing consumption, including authentication, versioning, and API-gateway configuration (approx. 10% of time). 
• Design and build AI-based analysis tools — applying statistical modeling and machine-learning techniques (e.g., anomaly detection, predictive analytics, natural-language processing of transaction/log data) — to extract actionable insight from operational and payments data (approx. 10% of time). 
• Participate in systems documentation, code reviews, unit/integration testing, CI/CD pipeline maintenance, and Agile ceremonies. 
• Troubleshoot program and system malfunctions to restore normal functioning.
• Test, maintain, and monitor computer programs and systems, including coordinating the installation of computer programs and systems.
• Use object-oriented programming languages, as well as client and server applications development processes and multimedia and Internet technology.
• Analyze information processing or computation needs and plan and design computer systems, using techniques such as structured analysis, data modeling, and information engineering.
• Consult with management to ensure agreement on system principles.
• Specify inputs accessed by the system and plan the distribution and use of the results.
• Expand or modify system to serve new purposes or improve work flow.
• Determine computer software or hardware needed to set up or alter systems.
• Develop, document, and revise system design procedures, test procedures, and quality standards.
• Define the goals of the system and devise flow charts and diagrams describing logical operational steps of programs.
• Confer with clients regarding the nature of the information processing or computation needs a computer program is to address.
• Supervise computer programmers or other systems analysts or serve as project leaders for particular systems projects.
• Write code to perform desired actions.

• Experience with web-based payment processing, including integration with payment gateways and applicable security/compliance standards (e.g., PCI DSS). 
• Experience applying machine-learning or statistical analysis libraries/frameworks (e.g., Python-based ML libraries, Java-based ML tooling, or LLM/API-based analysis tools) to build data-analysis applications. 
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS and/or Azure) and containerization (Docker/Kubernetes). 
• Coursework or applied project experience in distributed systems, machine learning, or data mining.
