SIEM Engineer

About This Job

The National Telecommunication and Information Security Board (NTISB) has opened a single contract-basis vacancy for SIEM Engineer, PPS-9, based in Islamabad, advertised via the National Jobs Portal. SIEM engineers play a critical role within NTISB's security operations, administering and fine-tuning the enterprise Security Information and Event Management platform that underpins the organization's threat detection and log-correlation capabilities. This is a specialized, technically focused federal cyber-security post suited to a professional with hands-on SIEM platform administration experience. Because SIEM tooling sits at the core of nearly every modern security operations centre, this engineer effectively feeds the threat intelligence that NTISB's broader SOC and incident-response teams rely on daily.

To be considered, candidates must have at least 16 years of education, with an MS in Cyber Security or Information Security from an HEC-recognized institution preferred, though a range of related qualifications including BS Computer Science, BS Cybersecurity, MS Computer Science, and MS Cybersecurity and Data Governance, among other engineering and IT degrees, are also acceptable. On experience, applicants need a minimum of 6 years of professional experience overall, with at least 4 years of recent, direct experience administering and managing enterprise SIEM platforms — a specific technical requirement that distinguishes this post from NTISB's other cyber security openings. The eligible age range is 28 to 45 years, and as with other posts in this recruitment round, the standard five-year general age relaxation has already been added to the upper limit, so no additional relaxation is available.

Eligible candidates should apply online through the National Jobs Portal, logging into a PAK-ID verified account or registering for one, completing the application form, and attaching their CV along with educational and experience certificates. No application fee has been mentioned for this position. Applications must be submitted before the closing date of 12 October 2026. Given the specialized nature of SIEM platform administration, candidates with demonstrable, recent hands-on experience running or tuning a large-scale SIEM deployment in an enterprise or government network are especially well suited to this role and are encouraged to apply promptly, since only one post is available and competition is expected to be significant given the specialized skill set required. Applicants should ensure their CV clearly lists the specific SIEM platforms and log-management tools they have configured or administered, as this is likely to be a key factor in shortlisting for a role this technically specific. As with the rest of NTISB's current batch of cyber-security openings, no separate application fee or hard-copy submission is required — the entire process runs through the National Jobs Portal from application to result.
