Deep system knowledge and strong AI capability are the two halves of how this modernisation actually gets done, and we expect this hire to bring the second from day one and build the first here.</p> <p>If the idea of going deep into a complex, valuable, decades-old system, and emerging as one of the few people in the world who genuinely understands it, sounds like your kind of challenge, we want to talk to you.</p> <h4>In your first six months</h4> <ul> <li>Spend a meaningful proportion of your time learning our COBOL core in structured sessions with our senior platform engineer. This is protected time, treated as part of the role, not something you do around other work.</li> <li>Contribute to modern Go services in the stack from week one, on scoped pieces of work that build context without putting you on the critical path.</li> <li>Help us document what you’re learning as you learn it. Fresh eyes are uniquely valuable for surfacing the things long-tenured engineers no longer notice.</li> <li>Pair with the existing team across the stack to understand how Go services, the COBOL core, and the surrounding tooling actually interact in production.</li> <li>Use AI tooling deliberately as part of how you learn: to summarise unfamiliar code, surface questions for your mentor, and turn what you learn into clear documentation faster than fresh eyes could alone.</li> </ul> <h4>Beyond six months</h4> <ul> <li>Take ownership of meaningful work across both the modern and legacy halves of the platform, with growing autonomy.</li> <li>Help repair and modernise core engineering processes: testing, deployment, definition of done, and the way work flows from support into engineering.</li> <li>Contribute to the broader modernisation program: knowledge capture, internal AI tooling, and the eventual decomposition of the platform into smaller, more approachable modules.</li> <li>Lead AI-assisted modernisation of the parts of the core you have come to understand, translating well-understood COBOL into well-tested modern services, with AI as a lever rather than a crutch.</li> <li>Own projects end to end. Work starts from a client-facing design doc that describes data flow and outcomes but not detailed technical specs; from there you own the technical design, the implementation, your own alpha testing, and everything in between.</li> <li>Adapt to the business. Priorities can shift at short notice when urgent client issues arise, and you will be expected to flex with them.</li> <li>Mentor the next Go-into-COBOL hire as the team grows.</li> </ul> <h4>Requirements</h4> <ul> <li>4–7 years of professional software engineering experience, with significant time writing production Go.</li> <li>Comfortable working in a large, complex codebase where the answer is rarely on Stack Overflow. You enjoy reading code more than you fear it.</li> <li>Strong fundamentals: data structures, concurrency, debugging, designing for failure modes. Language familiarity matters less than the habits of mind.</li> <li>Demonstrable, judgment-led fluency with AI in a real engineering workflow. You use AI tools daily to read and understand unfamiliar code, accelerate routine work, and draft documentation, and you can explain clearly where you trust their output and where you don’t. We care less about which tools you use than about the judgement you bring to using them. This is a hard requirement for the role.</li> <li>The interpersonal maturity to learn directly from a highly experienced, exacting mentor. You can build trust, adapt to an established way of working, and absorb knowledge patiently, rather than rushing to impose your own approach before you understand why things are the way they are.</li> <li>A genuine willingness, ideally an active interest, in learning COBOL and working in a heritage system. This is not a stepping stone to a pure greenfield role; the COBOL work is the role. No prior COBOL experience is expected or needed; you will learn it here, from the person who knows it best.</li> <li>Strong written communication. You will be helping us turn tribal knowledge into durable documentation.</li> <li>Comfortable with ambiguity. The codebase has decades of history, the documentation is improving but not yet complete, and you will sometimes need to figure things out by reading and asking rather than by looking them up.</li> <li>Based in a UK/EMEA timezone and able to commit to a consistent daily overlap with California (Pacific) working hours. This is a genuine requirement of the role, not a preference: you will be learning directly from our retiring senior, who is based there, so dependable shared hours are essential. You will also keep reliable overlap with the rest of the UK/EMEA team.</li> <li>Comfortable owning the full development cycle and shifting priorities when needed. You will own projects end to end (see What you’ll do), and you will sometimes need to reprioritise at short notice for urgent client work. These are the two things new hires here most often underestimate.</li> </ul> <h4>Strong indicators</h4> <ul> <li>Experience working with or alongside legacy systems: mainframe, monolithic, or otherwise long-lived. You understand that “legacy” often means “load-bearing” and treat it with appropriate respect.</li> <li>Experience in domains with deep business logic (finance, logistics, telecoms, insurance, ERP, or similar) where correctness matters more than ergonomics.</li> <li>Comfortable in polyglot environments. Our stack includes Go, the COBOL core, and a long tail of supporting languages and platforms accumulated over years.</li> <li>Track record of improving the engineering practices around you (testing discipline, deployment hygiene, documentation, onboarding) rather than just shipping features.</li> <li>Experience pairing closely with a more senior engineer and absorbing knowledge from them.</li> <li>Experience building or working with AI-assisted developer tooling in a serious production context: agents, code generation, retrieval over large codebases, or similar. You have opinions, grounded in real use, about where it earns its keep.</li> </ul> <h4>Nice to have</h4> <ul> <li>Experience with car rental, fleet, travel, hospitality, or other operationally complex industries.</li> <li>Experience contributing to a platform modernisation, replatforming, or legacy-to-modern migration program.</li> <li>Familiarity with Perl or PostScript. Parts of the surrounding toolchain still touch both; not a blocker at all if you have not used them, but real exposure is a genuine plus.</li> </ul></p><p></p>

In Lebanon, Law No. 463/2002 established a framework for sentence reduction and entrusted this task to the Sentence Reduction Commission. Each of the two sub-commissions consists of a judge appointed by the Minister of Justice, the head of the prison's central directorate, a medical doctor specialized in psychiatry, and a social worker, with both specialists designated by the Minister of Justice. The director of the relevant prison or facility serves as an ad hoc member, depending on the case under review. To address the increasing workload, the Minister of Justice also appointed an additional social worker to support both sub-commissions. However, the Commission's operations have been quasi-paralyzed for over two years due to a lack of support for the medical doctors and social workers, who are essential for providing the necessary assessments for each case. This has hindered the Commission's ability to fulfill its critical role in addressing prison overcrowding. In this context, and as part of its ongoing commitment to improving access to justice, UNDP seeks to recruit two (2) Medical Doctors specialized in psychiatry to support the Commission in processing the cases of prisoners seeking sentence reduction.</p><p>Scope of work, responsibilities and description of the proposed analytical work Under the overall guidance of the project's Chief Technical Advisor or Project Officer, and in close coordination with the Commission of Reduction of Sentences, the Medical Doctors will support the Commission across the different governorates, according to the Commission's geographic distribution of files, by assessing prisoners' medical condition before sentence-reduction decisions are issued.</p><p>To achieve this objective, the Consultants are expected to:</p><ul><li>Assess prisoners' files from a medical and psychiatric perspective.</li><li>Draft and submit scientific reports to the Commission to inform its sentence-reduction decisions.</li><li>Provide the necessary medical opinion regarding the reduction of a prisoner's sentence based on their medical and psychiatric condition.</li><li>Provide expert opinion during deliberations on the impact and relevance of mental-health factors in specific cases.</li><li>Collaborate with the Commission on any other required tasks.</li></ul><p>Expected outputs and deliverables The Consultants are expected to complete the tasks and activities described above and submit bi-monthly progress reports. Each Medical Doctor must assess a minimum of 20 cases every two months. The reports shall describe progress in assessing inmates' cases and provide disaggregation by type of case, gender, age, geographic location, and nationality.</p><p>Institutional arrangements</p><ul><li>The work is expected to start upon contract signature.</li><li>The Consultant will work under the overall guidance of the designated UNDP focal point, in close coordination with the Commission of Reduction of Sentences and its President.</li><li>The Consultant will rely on their own means of communication and transportation. Transportation and communication costs should be included in the Consultant's financial offer.</li><li>All title rights, copyrights, and other rights in any material produced under the Terms of Reference will be vested exclusively in UNDP. Any public mention or appearance related to the activity must acknowledge UNDP's ownership and be coordinated with and approved by UNDP.</li><li>In the event of any delay, the Consultant shall inform UNDP promptly so that decisions and remedial action may be taken. Delays affecting collaborative work or the timely delivery of outputs may lead to termination of the contract.</li><li>UNDP reserves the right to commission additional inputs, reviews, or revisions as needed to ensure the quality and relevance of the work.</li></ul><p>Duration of work The assigned duration for this consultancy is four (4) months, without exceeding five (5) working days per month.

<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.
