What to assess for this role
Ask for a requirement they wrote and how they validated it: clarity, testable acceptance criteria, ambiguities caught before build, and mediation between business and engineering. A tools list on a CV is not a reviewable artefact.

Common questions about this role when you are hiring or writing the job profile.
- What does a software analyst do?
- Elicits requirements, models processes, prioritises with product and checks delivery against agreements. The ad should name domain (ERP, digital product, integrations) and stakeholders.
- Same as business analyst or developer?
- They overlap. Software analysts sit closer to the system; BAs sometimes closer to the business process. This is not full-time coding: if you need sprint output, hire a different role.
- Typical hiring mistake?
- Hiring for a tools list (Jira/Confluence) without testable requirements, or demanding a unicorn who analyses and builds. Failure shows up as an ambiguous backlog for engineering.
