<p><h4>Description</h4> <p>Aspire Software is looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer, (AI) 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>As a Forward Deployed Engineer (AI), you embed directly with our businesses to design and ship AI-powered solutions against real, often messy, problems. You'll move between companies and domains — building a retrieval pipeline for one business one month, standing up an agent workflow for another the next. You own problems end to end: understand the domain, scope the solution, build it, and get it into production.</p> <p>This is fundamentally a builder's role. We care far more about whether you can turn a problem into working software with modern AI tooling than about the title you held before. That means we're open to two kinds of people: experienced software developers, and senior product managers (or others from a product background) who have the technical know-how to actually build things themselves. If you can ship, and you're fluent with AI tooling, the lane you came from matters less than what you can do with it.</p> <h4>Why this role is different</h4> <p><strong>Hard problems, real impact.</strong> The projects are demanding and technically ambitious — you'll work at the frontier of what current AI tooling makes possible, on systems people actually depend on.</p> <p><strong>Breadth no single company can offer.</strong> Across finance, logistics, education, government, and automotive, you'll see a far wider range of problems, data, and constraints than you would inside one product — and get sharp at recognizing patterns across all of them.</p> <p><strong>Latest tools, encouraged.</strong> We expect you to use the best available AI development tools and to push them hard. Experimentation is part of the job, not a side project.</p> <p><strong>Genuinely generous with tooling.</strong> This is one of the real perks of the role. Our leadership structure lets us purchase tools quickly, and we're open about which AI toolsets you use — if a tool will make you faster or better, we'll get it for you without a drawn-out approval process.</p> <p><strong>Autonomy.</strong> You're trusted to go deep into a business, figure out what's worth building, and ship it.</p> <h4>What you'll do</h4> <ul> <li>Embed with portfolio businesses to identify, scope, and build AI-powered solutions to high-value problems.</li> <li>Design and build RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) pipelines and agentic systems that integrate with each business's data and workflows.</li> <li>Integrate large language models via APIs (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI / GPT, and others) into production applications.</li> <li>Use AI-native development tools (Cursor, Claude, Windsurf) and automation platforms (n8n and similar) to build and ship quickly.</li> <li>Take projects from problem framing through to deployed, maintainable software.</li> <li>Move fluidly between business domains, ramping up fast on unfamiliar industries and codebases.</li> </ul> <h4>Requirements</h4> <p>The non-negotiable is that you can build. Beyond that, we recognize two paths into this role:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Senior software developers</strong> — you've built and shipped real systems and can operate independently. (In rare cases we'll consider a less experienced developer who is exceptionally strong with AI tooling, but senior experience is the norm.)</li> <li><strong>Senior product managers / product backgrounds</strong> — you've worked in a product or product-management role and have the genuine technical know-how to build things yourself, not just spec them. If you can take a problem and ship a working AI-powered solution, your product instincts are a real asset here.</li> </ul> <p>Whichever path you come from, we also expect:</p> <ul> <li>Hands-on experience with AI-native tools such as Cursor, Claude, and Windsurf, and a genuine interest in AI more broadly.</li> <li>Comfort integrating AI APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI, and others) into real applications.</li> <li>The ability to own ambiguous problems end to end and ship.</li> <li>Adaptability — you enjoy jumping into new domains and getting productive quickly.</li> </ul> <h4>Nice to have</h4> <ul> <li>Experience building RAG pipelines in production.</li> <li>Experience building agents / agentic workflows.</li> <li>Familiarity with n8n or similar automation / orchestration platforms.</li> <li>Exposure to any of our verticals: finance, logistics, education, government, or automotive.</li> </ul> <h4>Tools & technologies you'll work with</h4> <p>Anthropic Claude · OpenAI / GPT · Cursor · Windsurf · RAG pipelines · AI agents · n8n · LLM APIs</p></p><p></p>

The project aims at supporting gender-responsive job creation and help generating economic opportunities for women-led micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) across various productive sectors with high growth potential. Through this objective the project will be fostering the economic security, stability and prosperity of women entrepreneurs and women-led MSMEs in Lebanon. The project includes 3 main components: Component 1: Ensuring that government institutions are more responsive to women s needs through processes that are more conducive to doing business, Component 2: Ensuring that women-led MSMEs have access to the financial resources to grow and remain sustainable, Component 3: Ensuring that women-led MSMEs receive the needed technical support to increase their access to local and international markets. The project was developed in response to the multiple crises that have hit Lebanon, in particular the financial crisis which have hindered the ability of MSMEs in general and women-led MSMEs to access the needed financing to grow. With the collapse of the banking system and the resulting depletion of all sources of financing, access to finance is considered as one of the biggest impediments for MSMEs and particularly women MSMEs to develop and take their business to the next level. This has compounded to the already existing barriers women entrepreneurs have been facing namely stringent collateral requirements, high interest rates, complex documentation processes, sub-optimal financial literacy, absence of market information, etc. In light of the current situation and the ongoing conflict, and based on consultations held with WEE project beneficiaries, MSMEs are currently facing significant cash flow constraints and growing financial pressures that are affecting their ability to sustain operations, retain workers, and plan for the short and medium term. Many businesses are operating in an increasingly uncertain environment, with limited capacity to assess risks, respond to disruptions, and adopt practical financial strategies to maintain stability during crises.</p><p>This Terms of Reference (TOR) outlines the scope of work, qualifications, and expected deliverables for the Senior Trade Specialist who will be responsible.</p><p>The expert will ensure</p><p><strong>SCOPE OF WORK, RESPONSIBILITIES AND DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED ANALYTICAL WORK</strong></p><p>UNDP is seeking the services of a Short-Term Individual Consultant (Senior Trade Specialist) to improve the business environment for SMEs through regulatory reform, trade facilitation, SME data centralization, and strengthening institutional mechanisms for protecting national production.

<h2 class="h5">Job description</h2> <div class="t-break" data-jb-field="description"> Result of Service<br>To develop a harmonized GCC regional inter-linked Macro and Micro SAM and a database for 2024–2035 to support the calibration of a regional trade simulator.<br> Work Location<br>Remote<br> Expected duration<br>3 months<br> Duties and Responsibilities<br>Background The Ministry of Economy and Planning MEP of Saudi Arabia have been playing a more proactive role in shaping the country's trade policy and navigating the complexities of an increasingly interconnected global economy. As Saudi Arabia deepens its integration into global trade networks and pursues economic diversification under Vision 2030, the ability to evaluate trade policies and external economic shocks in a timely, data-driven, and systematic manner has become critical. In this context, ESCWA partnered with the Ministry to strengthen its technical capacity for trade policy analysis. One of the key pillars of this effort is the development of advanced trade modeling and simulation toolkits that can inform strategic decision-making at both national and regional levels. A cornerstone of this initiative is the development of a regional trade simulator for the GCC’s countries. This simulator, to be aligned as much as possible to the Saudi’s sectoral structure of the input-output and supply-use tables, will serve as a third policy platform for analyzing integration scenarios among GCC countries themselves but also with the rest of the world. ESCWA is thus seeking the support of an economist to develop a harmonized GCC regional inter-linked Macro and Micro Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) and a comprehensive database for building the baseline scenario for the period 2024–2035. The objective of this assignment is to develop a harmonized GCC regional inter-linked Macro and Micro Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) and a comprehensive database to support the calibration of a regional trade simulator. Duties and Responsibilities The consultant will be asked to perform the following tasks: Using the updated national SAM’s for the six GCC’s countries developed by ESCWA in the context of the project on developing trade simulators for Saudi Arabia, the consultant will suggest a harmonized structure of the regional inter-linked SAMs. The regional interlinked SAM for GCC should be aligned as maximum as possible to the specific features of the national SAM of Saudi Arabia. Build the regional inter-linked Macro and Micro regional SAM using the national SAMs and additional data to be collected by the consultant. The Micro SAM should reflect the maximum of trade instruments being applied by Saudi Arabia. To do so, the consultant may use the appropriate estimation and balancing techniques such as RAS and Maximum Entropy techniques. Build the complete database for calibrating the regional trade simulator for the period 2024-2035.<br> Qualifications/special skills<br>A Master's degree in applied economics with a clear focus on developing SAMs and regional CGE models is required. A PhD is desirable. All candidates must submit a copy of the required educational degree. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed Five years expertise in using and developing global and regional CGE models is required. Strong knowledge of national accounts and developing social accounting matrices is required. Expertise in applying updating and balancing techniques is required. Expertise in GCC countries is desirable<br> Languages<br>English and French are the working languages of the United Nations secretariat and Arabic is a working language of ESCWA. For this position, Fluency in English and Arabic is required. Knowledge of French is desirable. Note: “Fluency” equals a rating of ‘fluent’ in all four areas (speak, read, write, and understand) and “Knowledge of” equals a rating of ‘confident’ in two of the four areas.<br> Additional Information<br>Not available.<br> No Fee<br>THE UNITED NATIONS DOES NOT CHARGE A FEE AT ANY STAGE OF THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS (APPLICATION, INTERVIEW MEETING, PROCESSING, OR TRAINING). THE UNITED NATIONS DOES NOT CONCERN ITSELF WITH INFORMATION ON APPLICANTS’ BANK ACCOUNTS.<br><br><br> </div>
