Senior Data Engineer

About This Job

Habib Bank Limited (HBL), Pakistan's largest bank by assets, has posted a new opening for a Senior Data Engineer, based at Habib Bank Plaza in Karachi. The role sits within the bank's data and reporting function, where the successful candidate will be responsible for writing and optimizing complex SQL scripts, resolving data issues, and debugging pipelines that feed the bank's internal reporting systems. A core part of the job involves working directly with business users across the bank to gather their requirements, then documenting and building the ETL (extract, transform, load) processes needed to meet those needs, alongside developing the reports and dashboards that turn raw banking data into insights for decision-makers. It is a hands-on technical role aimed at an experienced data professional comfortable working close to both the underlying data infrastructure and the business stakeholders who depend on accurate, timely reporting to run their departments. As a large, technology-driven commercial bank, HBL continues to invest heavily in its core banking, digital, and data-analytics capabilities, and this role forms part of that ongoing build-out of its in-house data engineering bench strength.

HBL is looking for candidates with at least a bachelor's degree (equivalent to Bachelor Honours, 16 years of education) and demonstrated, sufficiently strong expertise in software development, particularly around data engineering, SQL, and reporting tools. On the experience side, the bank wants a minimum of five years in a relevant data engineering, ETL, or business-intelligence role, reflecting the seniority implied by the "Senior" designation in the job title. Candidates should be comfortable both writing and optimizing production-grade SQL and translating loosely defined business requirements into working reports and dashboards with minimal supervision. The advertisement does not specify a domicile restriction, quota, or gender preference, and is open to applicants nationwide who meet the qualification and experience bar, with the position itself based in Karachi, Sindh at the bank's Habib Bank Plaza head office location.

Interested applicants should apply online through HBL's official careers portal, HBL People (hblpeople.com), which links through to the bank's Oracle-hosted recruitment platform where this vacancy is listed under Job ID 29685. Candidates will need to create or sign in to a candidate profile on that portal before submitting their application for this specific role. There is no application fee mentioned anywhere in the advertisement, and no postal, email, or walk-in route is offered for this role — it is online-application-only. The posting went live on 24 September 2026 and will remain open for online applications until 6 October 2026 at 23:55, after which HBL's HR team will directly contact shortlisted candidates for the next stage of the recruitment process. Given the relatively short roughly two-week application window, interested and qualified candidates are encouraged to prepare their profile and apply promptly rather than waiting until close to the deadline.
