Assistant Manager Backend Developer: 16 years of education in Computer Science, IT, AI, Software Engineering or Economics, or equivalent, from an HEC-recognized university.

Skills the Two Developer Posts Ask For
The ad adds a note that the candidate “should have core competence” in the following:
| Full Stack Developer | Backend Developer |
| Full stack architecture, system integration, problem-solving, clean coding practices | Backend architecture, database optimization, security-first design, scalability engineering |

| Assistant Manager (lump sum) | PKR 145,000+ with a 10% annual increase |
“Lump sum” means one fixed package. The ad does not use the word “monthly”, so confirm in the portal job description whether the amounts are per month.
Last Date: 19 November 2026
The ad prints “Last date to apply for all positions is November 19, 2026”. That is a Thursday, about two weeks after publication. Apply early: government portals slow down in the last days.

Same four posts, new notice: these are the same four Strategic Planning Unit positions we covered from the Jang Lahore ad of 1 November 2026 (earlier guide: apply at sded.punjab.gov.pk/spu by 30 November). This 5 November advertisement (IPL-11687) tells candidates to apply on the Punjab Job Portal and gives a last date of 19 November 2026. If the two notices differ, follow the newer one and confirm on the official portals. The department also advertised a separate set of 12 posts (4 General Managers and 8 Assistant Managers) in a different ad.
Not Confirmed
