Agile Business Analyst (Mid-Level)

NeatDevs LLC is a small federal subcontractor with a long-running seat on a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) program in Ashburn, VA. We are hiring a mid-level Agile Business Analyst to write user stories and acceptance criteria, manage backlogs in Jira, and support testing on an Agile team modernizing mission-critical CBP systems. U.S. citizenship is required (federal contract); you must be able to obtain a DHS/CBP Public Trust - an active or recent clearance shortens your start date but is not a gate. Hybrid: on-site in Ashburn, VA about one day per week, remote the rest.

What you'll do

• Collaborate with stakeholders to turn needs into clear, testable user stories and acceptance criteria
• Manage user stories, backlogs, and release tracking in Jira; keep documentation current in Confluence
• Support functional testing and UAT; verify stories against acceptance criteria
• Prepare process documentation, user guides, and release notes
• Participate fully in sprint planning, refinement, demos, and retrospectives

Required

• U.S. citizenship and ability to obtain a DHS/CBP Public Trust; must live in the DC/MD/VA area
• Bachelor's degree (BA/BS)
• 5+ years of business analysis or related experience, including Agile software teams
• Experience writing user stories and acceptance criteria
• Jira and Confluence proficiency

Nice to have

• Exposure to AI-assisted tools (Gemini) for requirements work
• Federal or DHS program experience
• CSM, CSPO, or similar certification

Pay and benefits

$104,000 - $120,000 per year depending on experience and clearance status. Full-time W-2 role with health, dental, and vision insurance, life insurance, 401(k), paid time off, and paid federal holidays.
