SOC Analyst L3

About This Job

The National Telecommunication and Information Security Board (NTISB) has advertised two contract-basis vacancies for SOC Analyst L3, PPS-9, based at its Islamabad headquarters, through the National Jobs Portal. As the most senior tier among NTISB's SOC Analyst openings in this recruitment round, the L3 role is geared toward experienced analysts who can lead threat-hunting efforts, escalate complex incidents, and mentor junior analysts within the Security Operations Centre. With two vacancies available, this posting represents a strong opportunity for seasoned cyber-security professionals to take on a more senior, federal-level responsibility within NTISB's round-the-clock SOC function. This posting is part of a wider recruitment drive by NTISB covering multiple SOC and integration roles, all advertised through the National Jobs Portal on the same date and closing together on 12 October 2026.

Eligible candidates need at least a Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Information Security, Computer Science, or a related field, with degrees such as BS Computer Science, BS Software Engineering, and BS Cybersecurity explicitly accepted. Advanced certifications, particularly the GIAC Certified Incident Handler (GCIH) or CISSP, are strongly desired and will meaningfully strengthen an application for this senior analyst tier. On the experience front, candidates must have a minimum of 8 years of SOC operations experience overall, with at least 3 years specifically focused on threat hunting and the escalation of complex security incidents — a notably higher bar than NTISB's L1 and L2 analyst posts advertised alongside this one. The eligible age range is 18 to 45 years, with the customary five-year general age relaxation already added to the upper limit, so no further relaxation will be considered.

Interested 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 uploading their CV along with educational and experience certificates. No application fee has been mentioned for this post. Applications must be submitted before the closing date of 12 October 2026. Given the seniority implied by the L3 designation and the two available posts, candidates with a demonstrated track record of leading incident investigations and hunting for advanced threats within a live SOC environment are strongly encouraged to apply well ahead of the deadline, since this tier is likely to draw considerable interest from experienced security analysts across the country. As with the rest of NTISB's current cyber-security recruitment batch, the entire process — from application to eventual result — is handled through the National Jobs Portal, and no offline or hard-copy submissions will be entertained for this post.
