The European Central Bank has published a new set of job openings dedicated to the digital euro project, indicating a continued buildout of its technical and operational teams as legislative work advances. The roles were added to the ECB careers portal in December 2025, with some positions open until early January 2026.
According to the listings, the ECB is seeking Market Infrastructure Specialists in both policy and functional profiles, Market Infrastructure Project Management Specialists across user testing and operations, Market Infrastructure Experts, Communication Experts specialising in audience insights and analytics, and a Lead Expert Solution Train Engineer for digital euro development. Application deadlines vary between 8 December 2025 and 5 January 2026.
Expanding operational capacity
The new vacancies highlight the ECB’s ongoing shift from high-level design toward implementation and testing. Market-infrastructure roles focus on technical coordination, operational readiness and the integration of digital-euro components with the Eurosystem’s broader payment infrastructure. The Solution Train Engineer role suggests an expanded agile development environment as the project moves into more complex build phases.
The communications-focused position points to increased efforts to measure public sentiment and improve engagement as policymakers debate final design choices. Public understanding and trust remain central to the ECB’s strategy, especially as institutions prepare for pilot testing once EU lawmakers finalise the regulatory framework.
The ECB’s advance in staffing reflects the broader project trajectory reported in recent months, with technical preparation and provider coordination continuing into 2026.
