Deputy Director Software Quality Assurance

About This Job

The Punjab Land Record Authority (PLRA) has advertised two vacancies for Deputy Director, Software Quality Assurance, on a contract basis for three years, extendable, under advertisement IPL-7880 dated August 1, 2026. Both posts are based at PLRA Headquarters in Lahore. The Deputy Director SQA will lead quality assurance processes for PLRA's software applications, including its land record management systems, ensuring that new features and releases meet reliability and performance standards before deployment to the public. This is a senior technical role that involves setting testing strategy, supervising QA staff, and coordinating closely with development teams to reduce defects in production systems used by citizens and government offices across Punjab. PLRA was established to digitize and safeguard land ownership records across Punjab, and its technical departments continue to expand as the authority extends its computerized land record management system to more districts, tehsils, and service centres throughout the province.

Candidates must possess a four-year Bachelor's degree such as BSCS, MCS, or BCS from an HEC-recognized institution, along with a minimum of five years of relevant post-qualification experience in software quality assurance or testing management. The prescribed age range is 25 to 40 years, and the post is open to both male and female candidates. An attested domicile certificate is a mandatory requirement for application; although the source advertisement does not name a specific province, the standard Punjab Government domicile condition is implied for this Punjab-based authority. Experience with manual and automated testing methodologies, defect tracking tools, and leading a QA team will strengthen an applicant's candidacy for this leadership position.

Interested candidates should apply online through the Punjab Job Portal at jobs.punjab.gov.pk using the dedicated application link for this post. Applicants may also submit a hard copy application along with attested CNIC, domicile, and educational documents to PLRA Headquarters in Lahore before the closing date if they are unable to apply online. No application fee has been specified in the advertisement or the accompanying image. Shortlisted candidates will undergo a written screening test followed by an interview, with no TA/DA admissible for either. The last date for submission of applications is August 17, 2026, and candidates are encouraged to prepare their documentation early given the seniority and technical demands of this quality assurance leadership role.
