Digital Payment Officer I (For definite period of one year)
Ethswitch S.C.About This Role
This is a hands-on entry point into Ethiopia’s national digital payment infrastructure, working directly with the systems that connect banks, microfinance institutions, and fintechs. You’ll be the operational support behind system reliability and partner onboarding, not a policy maker or strategist. It suits a recent graduate who wants real exposure to transaction monitoring and system maintenance rather than pure development or coding.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The degree requirement signals that the employer expects foundational technical literacy, but “experience is an advantage” means they are open to teaching the right person. What they truly need is someone methodical and detail-oriented who can follow procedures for testing and monitoring without constant supervision. The role implies comfort with data, basic troubleshooting, and written communication for documenting system changes.
How to Approach This Application
Focus your CV and cover letter on any project, internship, or coursework involving data accuracy, system testing, or payment-related topics—even if it’s a university group project. Since Ethswitch is a national switch operator, emphasize your understanding of how digital payments work in Ethiopia (mobile money, bank transfers, interoperability). Because the role is contract-based, show reliability and willingness to learn quickly, not just theoretical knowledge.
Who This Role Suits
This role is ideal for a disciplined fresh graduate who wants to build a career in fintech operations, and competition will be moderate due to the one-year contract and specific technical focus.
The Digital Payment Officer I is responsible for assisting in the daily operations and maintenance of digital payment systems. This role involves participating in and supporting the onboarding of new institutions for digital payment products, monitoring transactions and interfaces, and participating in testing when changes are made to digital payment applications.
- BSc in Computer Science, Software Engineering or related fields of studies
- Experience is an advantage

Qualified candidates are invited to submit their application with non-returnable CV, educational qualifications and work experience to [email protected], stating the title of the position clearly on the subject line. Qualified female applicants are highly encouraged.
*Please be aware that it is mandatory to attach your credentials (educational qualifications and work experience) along with your CV. Submitting only your CV is not sufficient.
*Please be advised that all applicants’ Educational Credentials will be verified with the respective higher institutions.
