Business Analyst

About the role:
MediDrive is a US-based non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) platform. We're a fast-growing early-stage startup, so things move quickly and the structure is still being built.
You'll own the flow of incoming requests from our US operations team and our AI tooling into the development team. You decide what's real, what matters, and what gets built, turn the keepers into clear tickets, and are the single point of contact for the people raising requests. If you're energized by bringing order to a busy, ambiguous pipeline rather than stepping into a ready-made one, you'll thrive here.

Responsibilities:

• Learn the system deeply and fast. This comes first: you need to study the platform until you can judge requests and make calls on your own, without escalating routine decisions.
• Maintain clear documentation, including diagrams.
• Own the intake pipeline: every request from operations and from our AI tooling passes through you before it reaches a developer.
• Triage and prioritize independently: you'll receive a high volume of requests and the team can't work on everything, so you decide what's a real issue, what to merge, and what to reject, on your own judgment.
• Evaluate AI-generated tickets critically: a large share of requests come from AI tools. You separate genuine defects from noise, rewrite the real ones into proper tickets, and feed problems back to improve the tooling rather than dismissing it.
• Break vague, high-level problems into clear, actionable work: user stories, acceptance criteria, edge cases, split into FE / BE / QA.
• Oversee implementation and hold quality control through the development lifecycle.
• Be the communication bridge between the US operations team and the technical team (BE / FE / QA) at every stage.
   

Requirements:

• 2+ years as a Business Analyst in IT with international / American companies.
• Strong written and verbal English (C1+): daily communication with the US office.
• Decisive and comfortable saying no: able to close or reject requests on your own judgment without escalating every call.
• Open-minded and comfortable with ambiguity, shifting priorities, high request volume, and a fast pace.
• Proactive, self-directed, and reliable across multiple workstreams.
• Strong ability to gather, structure, and document complex business requirements.
• Able to lead and monitor tasks from requirement through to launch, and break work into proper FE / BE / QA tasks.
• Data literacy: able to look at a database and ask the right questions (SQL is a plus).
• Critical, hands-on user of AI tools (Claude): able to judge and correct AI output, not just accept it.
• Hands-on with diagramming and process modeling (flows, sequence diagrams, BPMN / UML).
• Tools we use: Linear, databases, Excalidraw (Figma possibly later), Claude, CodeRabbit.
• NEMT / healthcare / transportation-provider domain experience is a plus.
   

Working conditions:

• Remote.
• US time zone: start after 13:00–15:00 and work until 23:00 minimum, Kyiv time. Overtime is paid (we use a time tracker).
