Data Engineer

About This Job

National IT Board (NITB) is hiring two Data Engineers (PPS-9) on contract in Islamabad to build and run the data backbone of the Fusion Centre Data Lake under the Smart Islamabad Initiative, recruited through the National Job Portal (NJP). The role centres on developing, deploying and maintaining ETL/ELT pipelines that connect more than 30 agency data sources into the shared Data Lake, making it a foundational engineering position for the wider smart-city analytics effort.

Responsibilities include designing and managing data schemas, ingestion connectors and streaming feed integrations, ensuring data quality, validation and cleaning so that downstream analytics platforms can rely on the data, and monitoring pipeline performance to optimise storage and processing. Candidates should hold a Master's degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering or IT (16 years of education) and be proficient in ETL tools, SQL and Python or equivalent technologies, with at least 4 years of relevant experience. The upper age limit is 45 years, with relaxation already incorporated per NITB's posting, and the minimum age defaults to 18 since none is separately stated. The post is open to both genders with no domicile restriction mentioned.

Interested candidates can apply directly through the National Job Portal, where both vacancies are listed live under NITB, with the whole process — from registration to final submission — handled online with no postal option. Applications must be submitted before the 29 July 2026 closing date, after which the portal will stop accepting new submissions for this post.
