Digital Payment Officer II (For definite period of one year)
Ethswitch S.C.About This Role
This is a hands-on role focused on the technical backbone of Ethiopia’s digital payment infrastructure. You’ll be the person ensuring that integrations between Ethswitch and member banks actually work in the real world — from initial setup through testing and live monitoring. It’s ideal for a junior-level IT professional who wants deep exposure to fintech systems and enjoys solving problems that affect thousands of daily transactions. The one-year contract suggests an immediate operational need, possibly tied to a national payment initiative or system upgrade.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The requirement for a BSc in Computer Science or Software Engineering, plus two years of experience, signals that this is not an entry-level helpdesk role — you need enough technical grounding to configure integrations and interpret system behavior. The experience likely needs to be directly relevant to testing, API work, or payment systems, not just general IT support. Ethswitch is looking for someone who can bridge the gap between technical specifications and real-world banking operations.
How to Approach This Application
Your CV and cover letter must explicitly highlight any experience with user acceptance testing, system integration, or transaction monitoring. Use concrete examples: “Conducted UAT for a mobile money platform with X banks” is far stronger than “interested in fintech.” Since Ethswitch is a national switch operator, emphasizing familiarity with Ethiopian payment standards (like EthSwitch protocols) or experience working with banks will set you apart. The company stated preference for female applicants, so qualified women should apply with confidence.
Who This Role Suits
This role is best suited for a detail-oriented IT professional with 1–3 years of experience who wants to build a career in fintech and digital payments. It will be moderately competitive, as Ethswitch is a well-known entity in Ethiopia’s financial sector.
The Digital Payment Officer II is responsible for setting up, testing, and conducting User Acceptance Testing (UAT) on digital payment integrations. This role involves assisting banks with technical issues, creating detailed reports for both internal and external use, and monitoring transactions and interfaces to ensure smooth operation. The officer participates in testing when changes are made to digital payment applications.
- BSc in Computer Science, Software Engineering or related fields of studies
- 2 years of relevant experience
How To Apply
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.
