Database Administrator

About This Job

First Women Bank Limited (FWBL) is hiring a Database Administrator for its Information Technology department at Head Office, Karachi, to support the implementation and monitoring of the bank's database environment and help ensure its data stays both compliant and secure. First Women Bank Limited was established under a special mandate to advance the economic and financial inclusion of women across Pakistan, and operates today as a State Bank of Pakistan-regulated scheduled commercial bank with a nationwide branch network. The role covers administration of Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle databases, with Linux administration for Oracle counted as an added advantage, and spans capacity planning, installation, configuration, database design, migration, performance monitoring, security and troubleshooting, as well as backup and recovery. The administrator will implement information-security benchmarks and industry-standard best practices within the database environment, manage and monitor user access controls, contribute to disaster-recovery drills, review Microsoft and Oracle patch releases with deployment recommendations, and develop database queries to support the bank's MIS reporting needs. The bank places particular emphasis on a thorough grasp of database engine configuration, high-availability and replication setups, and structured logging and auditing practices, given the sensitivity of the customer and transaction data the role is entrusted with.

The bank is looking for a graduate in Computer Science or Information Systems from an HEC-recognized university with a minimum of two to three years of hands-on database administration experience, along with a solid understanding of database engine configuration, high availability and replication, logging and auditing, backup and point-in-time recovery, and security and authentication frameworks. Relevant database training, certifications, and prior experience in the banking or financial-services sector are listed as preferred rather than mandatory. No specific age limit or domicile restriction is mentioned in the job description, and the role is open to both male and female candidates as part of FWBL's inclusive hiring approach.

Interested applicants can apply online through FWBL's careers application form at fwbl.com.pk/careers-form, choosing Database Administrator from the list of currently open positions, with the detailed job description also downloadable from the bank's careers page. There is no application fee. As with the rest of FWBL's current recruitment cycle, the closing date for this position is August 31, 2026, and candidates are advised to complete their submissions in good time before the deadline. Candidates are advised to ensure their CV clearly reflects the relevant qualification and experience described above, since a well-matched application makes it easier for FWBL's recruitment team to shortlist candidates efficiently for this round of hiring.
