About This Role

This role is about ensuring the digital backbone of one of Ethiopia’s largest banks operates without interruption. As a Cloud and Core Systems Administrator at Dashen Bank, you will manage both traditional on-premise banking systems and emerging cloud infrastructure, balancing legacy stability with modern scalability. It suits a systems engineer who thrives under high-stakes uptime requirements and can navigate the strict compliance demands of the financial sector.

What the Requirements Say About This Role

The four-year experience requirement signals that Dashen Bank is looking for someone who has already proven they can handle production environments, not just theoretical knowledge. By emphasizing design and implementation alongside operations, the bank wants a hands-on troubleshooter who can also architect improvements — not merely a ticket-closer. Expect the interview to probe your understanding of banking-grade security protocols and disaster recovery planning.

How to Approach This Application

Tailor your CV to highlight specific uptime metrics or incident resolution examples from previous roles, especially if you’ve worked with critical systems like core banking platforms or cloud services (AWS, Azure, or OpenStack). In your cover letter, demonstrate awareness of Dashen Bank’s digital transformation initiatives — mention familiarity with Ethiopian banking regulations (like NBE directives) to show you understand the regulatory layer. Emphasize any experience with hybrid infrastructure management, as this role likely bridges old and new systems.

Best Fit

Who This Role Suits

This role is best for a mid-career systems administrator who wants to move into a senior technical track within a stable, established institution. It is moderately competitive, as Dashen Bank is a top-tier employer in Ethiopia, but niche cloud-banking experience narrows the applicant pool.
