What we offer:

In return, we offer a unique, highly rewarding, international work environment giving you broad and varied exposure to a range of digital asset technologies. You will have the opportunity to interact with other technical experts both within the central bank community and beyond.

You will receive a competitive compensation package (net of tax), including a comprehensive set of expat and relocation benefits and allowances. In addition, because of our status as an international organisation, we are able to hire globally and welcome applications from candidates of all nationalities and located anywhere in the world.

This is an excellent opportunity to work at the hub for central bank cooperation and the chance to work in an international environment alongside colleagues from more than 60 countries.
