“We are not building another fintech. We are building the Shariah-native infrastructure layer that every Islamic fintech in the world will run on top of.”
Islamic Open Finance™ — Engineering Mission
Our Culture
Six values that guide every decision, every commit, and every conversation at Islamic Open Finance™.
Shariah Integrity
Every line of code we write honours Shariah principles. Compliance is a first-class engineering requirement, not an afterthought. AAOIFI and IFSB standards are baked in from the schema layer up.
Engineering Excellence
We hold ourselves to the highest standards — zero technical debt, rigorous type safety, TigerStyle assertions, and production-grade infrastructure from day one. We do it right the first time.
Open Source First
We contribute back to the ecosystem that powers us. Our SDKs, connectors, and cookbooks are Apache 2.0-licensed and openly maintained. What we build, the community benefits from.
Deep Domain Curiosity
We geek out on Murabaha, Sukuk, Wakalah, Takaful, and AAOIFI standards. Intellectual curiosity about Islamic finance is a core trait we hire for — across every discipline.
Collaborative by Default
We are a remote-first team spanning multiple time zones. Async-first communication, radical transparency, and deep mutual respect define how we work — and how we make decisions.
Bias Toward Impact
We move fast on what matters. Every feature, API route, and rail we ship expands access to Shariah-native financial infrastructure for the world. We measure success in real outcomes.
Benefits & Perks
We invest meaningfully in the people who invest in our mission.
Remote-First
Work from anywhere in the world. We are 100% distributed with no required office presence and async-first processes built for every time zone.
Competitive Compensation
Market-rate salary benchmarked globally, with equity participation options aligned to long-term mission ownership.
Professional Development
Annual learning stipend covering courses, certifications, conferences, and AAOIFI/CIMA qualifications for those pursuing Islamic finance credentials.
Health Coverage
Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance for you and your dependants, wherever you are based.
Flexible Hours
Own your calendar. We care about outputs and trust — not whether you start at 8 am or 10 am. Some core overlap hours apply per team.
Annual Retreat
Once a year the whole team gathers in person — workshops, meals, shared vision, and genuine human connection across borders.
