Karandaaz Pakistan has opened applications for a Short-term Technical Assistant role tied to its Government Payments Digitization initiative, as the organization looks to bring in tech talent to support ongoing work on Pakistan’s digital public infrastructure. The position is based in Islamabad and will report directly to the Head of Digital Public Infrastructure, placing the role within a core function tied to how government payment systems are being modernized and digitized across the country.
The listing describes the role as part of a broader effort to shape Pakistan’s digital future, with Karandaaz framing the position around technical work needed to support government payments digitization specifically, rather than a general technology or operations role. As a short-term technical assistant position, the role appears structured around a defined project timeline tied to the digitization initiative rather than a long-term, open-ended appointment, which is a common structure for specialized technical roles at development-focused organizations working on time-bound government or donor-funded projects.
Karandaaz Pakistan has been active in Pakistan’s digital finance and financial inclusion space for several years, working alongside government bodies and private sector players on initiatives related to payments infrastructure, access to finance, and digital public goods. Positioning this specific hire under the Head of Digital Public Infrastructure suggests the role is meant to support technical execution on systems that connect government payment processes with broader digital infrastructure efforts, an area that has drawn increasing attention in Pakistan as more public sector transactions move toward digital rails.
Interested candidates have been asked to apply by September 16, 2026, through the application link shared by Karandaaz, with further details on responsibilities and requirements available on the organization’s careers page. No additional information was provided on the scope of the government payments digitization project itself, its funding source, or how many technical staff are being brought on as part of the broader initiative beyond this individual role.
