TL;DR: We hire for long-term craftsmanship, not short-term headcount. Roles are fully remote, ethically aligned with our mission, and compensated fairly for the depth of work expected. We publish all open roles here; we don’t advertise elsewhere first.
Who fits here
If you are a senior engineer who’s tired of optimizing ad engagement and wants to build tools that outlive careers — this is for you. If you are a designer who believes restraint is more powerful than virality — this is for you. If you are a content writer with rigorous standards and a lived connection to the Quran — this is for you.
If, on the other hand, you’re evaluating us primarily on salary benchmarking, equity upside, or proximity to VC networks, you will likely be disappointed. We optimize for team stability over growth velocity, and we compensate fairly but not exceptionally.
How our hiring process works
- Written application — role-specific questions. We read every one. Expect 300-word answers, not one-liners.
- 30-minute async conversation — recorded video responses to 3 questions we send you. No scheduling friction.
- Paid work trial — a small real project over 5–10 hours, paid at our standard rate. This replaces whiteboard interviews entirely.
- Two conversations — one with the hiring manager, one with a peer you’d work with.
- Decision within 14 days of trial submission.
We do not do leetcode, take-home tests longer than 10 hours, or unpaid work evaluations. We do not ghost; you will hear a decision one way or the other.
What we offer
- Fully remote, any time zone. Core overlap window 4 hours daily.
- Competitive salary benchmarked to the 60–75th percentile of your local market (not to SF/NYC).
- Equity for senior and long-term roles; transparent grant structure.
- Unlimited PTO with a 20-day floor. The floor matters — data shows “unlimited PTO” alone often reduces actual leave taken.
- Ramadan flexibility — reduced core hours, no release crunches during the month, extended Eid holidays.
- Hajj leave — up to 6 weeks of paid leave, once per tenure, for Hajj.
- Healthcare stipend appropriate to your country.
- Learning budget of $2,500/year, including classical Islamic studies.
- Home office stipend of $2,000 at start + $500/year refresh.
