The Global Learning Innovation Hub under the UNICEF Office of Innovation is seeking a Senior Full-Stack Developer to join the Accessible Digital Textbooks (ADT) team. The ADT initiative transforms PDF textbooks into rich, accessible digital learning materials for children with and without disabilities. The selected consultant will take the lead on the continued development of ADT Studio — a TypeScript monorepo application that automates the production of accessible digital textbooks through AI-powered pipelines. This role is central to making educational content universally accessible and available to millions of children worldwide.
The ADT initiative converts PDF textbooks into structured, accessible digital content — including HTML storyboards, quizzes, glossaries, image captions, translations, and text-to-speech audio — packaged as self-contained web bundles, EPUBs, or WebPubs.

It represents a significant architectural advancement: a two-level DAG pipeline model with a React frontend and Hono backend. The codebase is open-source, hosted on UNICEF’s GitHub, and designed for extensibility by third-party developers and country offices.
