<p><h4>Description</h4> <p>Aspire Software is looking for a software engineer to join our team in Lebanon.</p> <p>Here is a little window into our company: Aspire Software operates and manages wholly owned software companies, providing mission-critical solutions across multiple verticals. By implementing industry best practices, Aspire delivers a time sensitive integration process, and the operation of a decentralized model has allowed it to become a hub for creating rapid growth by reinvesting in its portfolio.</p> <h4>About the role</h4> <p>We are hiring a mid-level Go engineer to build and operate the microservices at the core of our payments platform. You will own services end to end — from API design and database schema through testing, containerization, and production deployment — in a domain where correctness, security, and reliability are non-negotiable. This is a hands-on building role with clear ownership and room to grow into deeper platform and architecture work.</p> <p>Our services are REST/JSON APIs (Gin) deployed on AWS ECS, with observability handled through internal services today. As we scale the platform, there is real room to help raise the engineering bar — introducing metrics and distributed tracing, structured observability, and stronger CI/static-analysis standards. If you like owning systems and shaping how they are built, you will have that runway here.</p> <p>You will join an engineering team that uses AI-assisted development tools as a standard part of its workflow. We expect engineers to use these tools well — to move faster without sacrificing the rigor that payments demand.</p> <h4>What you'll do</h4> <ul> <li>Design, build, and maintain Go microservices (HTTP APIs, sidecars, and background processors) that handle payment authorization, tokenization, settlement, and reporting.</li> <li>Write clean, well-tested Go: table-driven unit tests, mocked dependencies, and meaningful coverage on the paths that move money.</li> <li>Profile and tune services for high throughput and low latency (pprof, benchmarking) — transaction paths are latency-sensitive.</li> <li>Integrate with relational and NoSQL data stores (MySQL, DynamoDB, PostgreSQL); design schemas, access patterns, and migrations that hold up under load and evolve safely.</li> <li>Build and consume internal service APIs, including service-to-service authentication and shared platform libraries.</li> <li>Containerize services with multi-stage Docker builds and ship them through CI/CD pipelines to cloud infrastructure.</li> <li>Integrate with third-party payment processors and AWS services, handling sensitive data in line with PCI DSS and our security standards (secure coding, data masking, TLS, secrets management).</li> <li>Build reliability into money-movement flows: idempotency, retries, and reconciliation/settlement correctness.</li> <li>Participate in code review, design discussions, on-call rotation, and incident response for the services you own.</li> <li>Use AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor) effectively and responsibly as part of day-to-day work.</li> </ul> <h4>Requirements</h4> <ul> <li>3+ years of professional software engineering experience, with production Go experience among them (mid-level seniority).</li> <li>Bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.</li> <li>Solid command of Go fundamentals: concurrency done right (goroutine lifecycle, channel discipline, context-driven cancellation), interfaces, error handling, modules, and the standard library.</li> <li>Experience building and consuming RESTful HTTP APIs, ideally with a Go web framework (we use Gin).</li> <li>Working proficiency with SQL databases (schema design, queries, transactions) — we use MySQL with sqlx.</li> <li>Comfort with Docker and CI/CD pipelines as part of a normal development workflow.</li> <li>Demonstrated experience using AI-assisted development tools (Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) in real project work — and good judgment about when to trust, verify, and override their output.</li> <li>Strong testing discipline and the habit of writing maintainable, reviewable code.</li> <li>Clear written and verbal communication, a collaborative and ownership-driven mindset, and comfort working in an agile/iterative team onsite.</li> </ul> <h4>Preferred qualifications</h4> <ul> <li>Payments / fintech background — payment gateways, card processing, tokenization, PCI DSS, fraud, or financial transaction systems (strongly preferred).</li> <li>Hands-on AWS experience, especially DynamoDB, S3, Secrets Manager, KMS, SSM Parameter Store, ECS, and ECR.</li> <li>Experience with microservices and distributed-systems patterns (service-to-service auth, sidecars, idempotency, retries, observability).</li> <li>Familiarity with NoSQL (DynamoDB) and/or PostgreSQL in addition to MySQL.</li> <li>Experience with secure handling of sensitive data: encryption (AES, KMS), JWT, secrets management, and secure-coding practices (OWASP, data masking, TLS).</li> <li>Payments-domain depth: settlement/reconciliation, idempotency, card-network/scheme familiarity, fraud, or financial transaction systems.</li> <li>Experience introducing observability (metrics, distributed tracing, structured logging) and/or CI quality tooling (static analysis, linting) to a growing platform.</li> <li>Database schema migration and API versioning experience.</li> <li>JavaScript / TypeScript / React — a plus. Our admin and merchant UIs are React 19 + TypeScript + Vite; full-stack contribution is welcome but not required.</li> <li>Experience working in or migrating from a legacy/monolith system toward a modern service architecture.</li> </ul> <h4>Our tech stack</h4> <p>What you’ll actually work with, based on our current codebase.</p> <ul> <li>Language: Go.</li> <li>Web framework: Gin (gin-gonic/gin); some legacy services on raw net/http. REST/JSON (not gRPC).</li> <li>Data: MySQL (go-sql-driver/mysql, jmoiron/sqlx), DynamoDB (AWS SDK v2), PostgreSQL (lib/pq); Redis and Memcached for caching.</li> <li>Cloud & deploy: AWS — ECS, ECR, DynamoDB, S3, Secrets Manager, KMS, ACM, SSM, SES, Cognito (AWS SDK for Go v2).</li> <li>Auth & crypto: internal SvcAuth service-to-service auth, JWT (golang-jwt/jwt), golang.org/x/crypto, AES encryption.</li> <li>Testing: Go's testing, stretchr/testify, DATA-DOG/go-sqlmock.</li> <li>Build & deploy: Multi-stage Docker (golang ? scratch), Makefiles, GitLab CI (Docker-in-Docker), images to private ECR.</li> <li>Frontend (a plus): React 19, TypeScript 5.6, Vite, MUI, Redux Toolkit, Formik, Jest + React Testing Library.</li> </ul></p><p></p>

We expect engineers to use these tools well — to move faster without sacrificing the rigor that payments demand.</p> <h4>What you'll do</h4> <ul> <li>Design, build, and maintain Go microservices (HTTP APIs, sidecars, and background processors) that handle payment authorization, tokenization, settlement, and reporting.</li> <li>Write clean, well-tested Go: table-driven unit tests, mocked dependencies, and meaningful coverage on the paths that move money.</li> <li>Profile and tune services for high throughput and low latency (pprof, benchmarking) — transaction paths are latency-sensitive.</li> <li>Integrate with relational and NoSQL data stores (MySQL, DynamoDB, PostgreSQL); design schemas, access patterns, and migrations that hold up under load and evolve safely.</li> <li>Build and consume internal service APIs, including service-to-service authentication and shared platform libraries.</li> <li>Containerize services with multi-stage Docker builds and ship them through CI/CD pipelines to cloud infrastructure.</li> <li>Integrate with third-party payment processors and AWS services, handling sensitive data in line with PCI DSS and our security standards (secure coding, data masking, TLS, secrets management).</li> <li>Build reliability into money-movement flows: idempotency, retries, and reconciliation/settlement correctness.</li> <li>Participate in code review, design discussions, on-call rotation, and incident response for the services you own.</li> <li>Use AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor) effectively and responsibly as part of day-to-day work.</li> </ul> <h4>Requirements</h4> <ul> <li>3+ years of professional software engineering experience, with production Go experience among them (mid-level seniority).</li> <li>Bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.</li> <li>Solid command of Go fundamentals: concurrency done right (goroutine lifecycle, channel discipline, context-driven cancellation), interfaces, error handling, modules, and the standard library.</li> <li>Experience building and consuming RESTful HTTP APIs, ideally with a Go web framework (we use Gin).</li> <li>Working proficiency with SQL databases (schema design, queries, transactions) — we use MySQL with sqlx.</li> <li>Comfort with Docker and CI/CD pipelines as part of a normal development workflow.</li> <li>Demonstrated experience using AI-assisted development tools (Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) in real project work — and good judgment about when to trust, verify, and override their output.</li> <li>Strong testing discipline and the habit of writing maintainable, reviewable code.</li> <li>Clear written and verbal communication, a collaborative and ownership-driven mindset, and comfort working in an agile/iterative team onsite.</li> </ul> <h4>Preferred qualifications</h4> <ul> <li>Payments / fintech background — payment gateways, card processing, tokenization, PCI DSS, fraud, or financial transaction systems (strongly preferred).</li> <li>Hands-on AWS experience, especially DynamoDB, S3, Secrets Manager, KMS, SSM Parameter Store, ECS, and ECR.</li> <li>Experience with microservices and distributed-systems patterns (service-to-service auth, sidecars, idempotency, retries, observability).</li> <li>Familiarity with NoSQL (DynamoDB) and/or PostgreSQL in addition to MySQL.</li> <li>Experience with secure handling of sensitive data: encryption (AES, KMS), JWT, secrets management, and secure-coding practices (OWASP, data masking, TLS).</li> <li>Payments-domain depth: settlement/reconciliation, idempotency, card-network/scheme familiarity, fraud, or financial transaction systems.</li> <li>Experience introducing observability (metrics, distributed tracing, structured logging) and/or CI quality tooling (static analysis, linting) to a growing platform.</li> <li>Database schema migration and API versioning experience.</li> <li>JavaScript / TypeScript / React — a plus. Our admin and merchant UIs are React 19 + TypeScript + Vite; full-stack contribution is welcome but not required.</li> <li>Experience working in or migrating from a legacy/monolith system toward a modern service architecture.</li> </ul> <h4>Our tech stack</h4> <p>What you’ll actually work with, based on our current codebase.</p> <ul> <li>Language: Go.</li> <li>Web framework: Gin (gin-gonic/gin); some legacy services on raw net/http. REST/JSON (not gRPC).</li> <li>Data: MySQL (go-sql-driver/mysql, jmoiron/sqlx), DynamoDB (AWS SDK v2), PostgreSQL (lib/pq); Redis and Memcached for caching.</li> <li>Cloud & deploy: AWS — ECS, ECR, DynamoDB, S3, Secrets Manager, KMS, ACM, SSM, SES, Cognito (AWS SDK for Go v2).</li> <li>Auth & crypto: internal SvcAuth service-to-service auth, JWT (golang-jwt/jwt), golang.org/x/crypto, AES encryption.</li> <li>Testing: Go's testing, stretchr/testify, DATA-DOG/go-sqlmock.</li> <li>Build & deploy: Multi-stage Docker (golang ? scratch), Makefiles, GitLab CI (Docker-in-Docker), images to private ECR.</li> <li>Frontend (a plus): React 19, TypeScript 5.6, Vite, MUI, Redux Toolkit, Formik, Jest + React Testing Library.</li> </ul></p><p></p>

<h2 class="h5">Job description</h2> <div class="t-break" data-jb-field="description"> Result of Service<br>The consultant is expected to draft a paper that develops a framework outlining the key determinants for advancing care reforms and systems.<br> Work Location<br>Remote<br> Expected duration<br>3 months<br> Duties and Responsibilities<br>Background Around the world, societies and economies are undergoing socio-demographic changes such as ageing populations, low fertility rates, urbanization, increased migration, widespread crises and conflicts, and climate change, which have all intensified the demand for care. However, while gaining global importance, care work still remains invisible and undervalued, often relegated to informal and unpaid labour, disproportionately borne by women, thus hindering their empowerment. Although this trend is observed globally, it is particularly acute in the Arab region where women undertake 80 to 90 per cent of all unpaid care work and spend 4.7 times more time than men on these responsibilities, exceeding the global average of 3.62 . Unpaid care work hinders women’s visibility and participation in public economic and political spheres as well as in decision-making processes in the Arab region. The disproportionate unpaid care work undertaken by women limits their economic engagement and opportunities, as it makes it challenging for them to balance work and family responsibilities. Additionally, women often face gender stereotypes, limited professional development opportunities, and an institutional culture that marginalizes their contributions. Women’s economic and political participation in the region remain low compared to global averages. In 2025, women’s labour force participation was only 19 per cent, less than half the global average of 49 per cent, making it the lowest rate worldwide . Women’s political representation shows a similarly stark gap. In December 2025, women held only 27 per cent of national parliamentary seats globally, with an even lower share in the Middle East and North Africa at around 16 per cent, the lowest in the world . However, there has been growing regional momentum realizing gains in the care economy with many countries in the Arab region offering instructive examples of care reforms. Nevertheless, these reforms are often sector-specific, focusing on one policy area such as labour without approaching care in a holistic manner interconnected across different sectors and policy areas. Within this context, understanding the political economy which examines how social, economic, and political factors shape care policies and systems becomes a pressing priority. Building on these reform efforts in the Arab region and looking at breakthroughs in care policymaking globally, including Latin America which has been particularly active in advancing comprehensive care systems, it is increasingly important to understand how care, often framed solely as a gender equality issue, intersects with other major development issues and policy domains. This highlights the regional need for policies that recognize care as a central element of sustainable economies and redistribute it among different stakeholders including the state. Ongoing inter-regional collaboration between UN regional commissions, namely ESCWA and the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) including through a project on advancing care policies for transformative recovery in Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia-Pacific and the Arab states, seeks to draw lessons from Latin American countries’ experiences in advancing comprehensive care systems. Given the inherent political nature of care policymaking, it is essential to understand what prompts political actors to prioritize care. A key driver is awareness around the critical role care plays in society and its far-reaching implications for economic and social well-being. When care is made visible as a cross-cutting issue that affects economic growth, labour force participation, health outcomes, social cohesion, and gender equality, it is more likely to gain traction in political discourse and influence the selection of policy instruments, thereby driving change in laws, budgets, and institutional support for care systems. Objective and methodology ESCWA seeks to hire a consultant to assist in drafting a paper, in collaboration with ECLAC, that thoroughly examines the factors and determinants behind care reforms, investigating the political economy of care in the Arab region and relating it to Latin America’s experience. The paper will draw on experiences from both Latin American and Arab countries to demonstrate the importance of moving beyond fragmented care reform policies towards comprehensive care systems. It will build on the recommendations provided by experts during ESCWA’s Expert Group Meeting on the Political Economy of Care Policies: Determinants for Reform in the Arab Region organized in July 2026. Tasks and responsibilities The consultant will be responsible for the following tasks: - Desk review: undertake a desk review of available successful and as well as unachieved experiences in advancing care policies and systems from Latin America and the Arab region; - Based on the results of the desk review, undertake consultations with relevant stakeholders on the main determinants, challenges or barriers which they have faced while working on advancing care policies and systems; - Review the results of consultations with relevant stakeholders from the Arab region on the main determinants, challenges or barriers which they have faced while working on advancing care policies and systems; - Propose the elements and dynamics among key determinants to advance care policies and systems and draw lessons for future policy making and reforms on care while taking into account the discussions and recommendations of the Expert Group Meeting above mentioned. - Suggest a detailed outline to be validated and agreed upon with ESCWA’s team in consultation with ECLAC; - Based on the agreed outline, prepare the first draft of the paper to be reviewed by ESCWA’s team; - Prepare a final draft based on the comments and recommendations provided by ESCWA and ECLAC’s teams. Supervision: The consultant will work Under the direct supervision of the Social Affairs Officer responsible for the care economy stream at the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) Ms. Rouba ARJA, and overall guidance of the gender Justice, Population and Inclusive Development cluster leader.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development states that good governance at all levels as well as transparent, effective and accountable institutions are necessary to build peaceful societies and achieve sustainable development. In this Agenda, specific measures are given to achieve such societies especially in Goal 16 “Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels”. Under this goal, the development of effective, accountable and transparent institutions (16.6), responsive, inclusive participatory and representative decision-making (16.7) and public access to information (16.10) are promoted as targets. To implement these targets, a partnership, between the Government, the private sector, civil society, other stakeholders (such as the public, and regional, sub-regional and international institutions) and citizens, is envisioned. Better governance and better public institutions are essential elements in achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Technology and innovation provide governments with options to achieve the individual targets set out in Goal 16. Innovation in the public sector provides new processes, products and services that can either be new technologies or be supported by technologies that promotes access to information, inclusiveness, citizen participation, accountability, transparency and responsiveness. When the government adopts news technologies and openness as part of its paradigm, the possibility of collaboration, shared responsibility and co-decision-making, strengthens the government and empowers its citizens. The United Nations is involved in enhancing the use of emerging technologies for sustainable development. In September 2024 during the Summit of the Future, world leaders adopted the Pact for the Future and its annexes: the Global Digital Compact (GDC) and Declaration on Future Generations. The GDC mandates UN Regional Commissions to provide support to Member States to advance digital transformation. Recently, many Arab countries started developing/updating their national plans and strategies to reflect the aspects of digital government transformation. The Environment Quality Authority (EQA) in Palestine requested the technical assistance of ESCWA to develop their digital transformation strategy. The objective of this consultancy is to provide an advisory service to assist ESCWA team in suggesting the digital strategy to the Authority. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The consultant shall propose to the designated ESCWA focal point a detailed version of the digital transformation strategy. To produce the draft strategy, the consultant is requested to conduct, among others, the main following tasks: 1.

<h2 class="h5">Job description</h2> <div class="t-break" data-jb-field="description"> Result of Service<br>Collaborate with UNEP and the SCE in conducting a comprehensive assessment of Bahrain's single-use plastics landscape, together with evidence-based policy recommendations and a practical implementation roadmap to enable informed decision-making, strengthen the national policy framework, and accelerate the country's transition towards a circular economy for plastics.<br> Work Location<br>Home based<br> Expected duration<br>9 months-part time<br> Duties and Responsibilities<br>The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the leading global environmental authority that sets the global environmental agenda, promotes the coherent implementation of the environmental dimension of sustainable development within the United Nations system and serves as an authoritative advocate for the global environment. The Regional Office for West Asia delivers advisory services and capacity building support to countries to achieve environmental and sustainable development objectives. The UNEP Regional Office for West Asia (ROWA) provides technical cooperation and policy advice to countries in the region to help achieve their environmental goals and sustainable development priorities. Plastic pollution has emerged as one of the most pressing environmental challenges worldwide, posing significant risks to ecosystems, biodiversity, human health, and sustainable development. Single-use plastics (SUPs), including plastic bags, food packaging, disposable cutlery, straws, and beverage containers, represent a substantial share of plastic waste due to their short lifespan and limited recovery after use. The Kingdom of Bahrain has demonstrated a strong commitment to addressing plastic pollution through a range of regulatory and policy measures. Recent initiatives include restrictions on non-biodegradable plastic bags, limitations on small plastic beverage containers, and broader efforts to promote sustainable waste management and environmental protection. Nevertheless, SUPs continue to constitute a significant source of plastic pollution, particularly in terrestrial and marine environments. Recognizing the need to strengthen existing policy measures, the Supreme Council for Environment (SCE), in collaboration with UNEP ROWA, is undertaking a comprehensive assessment of Bahrain's policy and regulatory framework governing single-use plastics. The assessment will identify strengths, gaps, implementation challenges, and opportunities for improvement while drawing upon international good practices and lessons learned from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Arab region, and other jurisdictions. The assignment will culminate in the development of evidence-based policy recommendations and an implementation roadmap to reinforce Bahrain's transition towards a circular economy for plastics. UNEP seeks to recruit an International Expert on Plastic Pollution and Circular Economy to provide technical, analytical, drafting, and advisory provision for the assessment of Bahrain's policy and regulatory framework on single-use plastics, the review of international best practices, stakeholder consultations, and the development of evidence-based policy recommendations and an implementation roadmap, in close coordination with the SCE and under UNEP ROWA supervision. The objective of this assignment is to contribute to the work of UNEP ROWA in reviewing the current status of single-use plastics in Bahrain, assessing the effectiveness of the existing policy and regulatory framework, identifying policy and implementation gaps, benchmarking international and regional good practices, and developing a practical policy framework and implementation roadmap to reduce single-use plastics and advance Bahrain's transition towards a circular economy for plastics. The expert will provide technical, analytical, drafting, and advisory maintenance throughout the assignment. Duties and responsibilties: Under the direct supervision of the designated Programme Management Officer at UNEP ROWA, the selected consultant will carry-out, inter alia, the following duties and responsibilities for each of the four projects detailed previously: 2.a. Project Inception and Planning •Prepare an inception report outlining the proposed methodology, workplan, stakeholder engagement approach, data requirements, and timeline for the assignment. •Review all relevant background documents, policies, legislation, reports, and technical materials provided by UNEP and the SCE. •Identify additional information and data requirements necessary to successfully implement the assignment. 2.b. Assessment of the Current Situation •Conduct a comprehensive review of the current status of single-use plastics (SUPs) in Bahrain using available national and international literature, reports, statistics, and other relevant secondary data. •Assess trends in the production, import, consumption, waste generation, collection, recycling, treatment, disposal, and environmental impacts of SUPs, where data are available. •Identify the principal categories of SUP products contributing to plastic pollution and assess existing waste management practices and infrastructure relevant to their management. 2.c.
