Barakah Life is a small, fully remote team building one quiet Islamic app for the ummah. We hire slowly, pay honestly, and write more than we meet. If any of the roles below fit, please write to us. If none of them fit but you still want to help, please write to us anyway.
One inbox. Sumit reads every email. We reply within a week, almost always within forty-eight hours. No portal, no bot, no ATS, no "we'll keep your CV on file" reply.
We are small and intentional. The structure of the work mirrors how a serious Muslim wants to live, not how a late-stage startup runs.
We work from different parts of the world. Salah on time, family time, school runs are non-negotiable. The work fits around the deen, not the other way around.
Long focus blocks, fewer meetings. Most decisions happen in writing. One short sync a week if at all. Salah and Jumua take precedence over standups.
This is sadaqah jariyah work. The app is free for anyone who asks. Every decision starts from that, before we look at metrics.
We are small and revenue is early, so cash compensation today is modest. Equity is real, growth is fast, and we will catch up to market as we grow. We will not lie about this in an interview.
These are not job adverts. They are conversations we want to have. If you fit one, write to us. If none fit but you still want in, the last card is for you.
Run the Barakah handles on X, Instagram, and TikTok. Daily content, weekly reels, light community management. Quote-cards, soft-launch teasers, behind-the-build posts. Calm, reverent tone. No engagement-bait, no hot takes.
Help more of the ummah find Barakah. App Store optimization, landing-page copy tests, launch campaigns around Ramadan and Hajj, influencer and creator outreach, simple paid experiments where they make sense. Heavy on positioning, light on jargon.
Help us keep the deen content correct. Review verses, hadith citations, translations, transliterations, fiqh notes across the four major schools. We are madhab-neutral and source everything.
If you do something else that you think Barakah needs, write anyway. Voice-over for short videos, design for greeting cards, mosque outreach, translation into a language we do not yet support, anything. Tell us what you would do here.
Pick the closest role above. Send a short note, two or three links, and one paragraph on why Barakah specifically. No cover letter form, no portal.
Usually faster. If we are not a fit, we will tell you and explain. No silent rejections.
A 45-minute video call with Sumit. About you, about the work, about what you want from the next year of your life.
Paid. A piece of work close to the actual job, in a week or less. We respect your time and pay for it.
If yes, we agree on cash + equity in writing and a start date. If no, we tell you what we saw and what we would want to see next time.
I would rather hire one person who treats this as sadaqah jariyah than five who treat it as a CV line. We go slow because Barakah is going to be around for the next twenty years, in sha Allah. The first ten people on the team set the tone for the next thousand.
For the Islamic content reviewer role, yes. For everything else, no. We have worked with non-Muslim collaborators who care about the mission and respect the deen. What we will not work with is anyone hostile to Islam or to the people we are building for.
Barakah Life is operated by Irash LLC-FZ, a Dubai free-zone LLC in the UAE. Contracts are issued through that entity. Most early hires are contractors paid via wire or Wise; full-time employment through the FZ becomes possible as we scale.
We are early revenue and small, so cash compensation today is below what big-tech offers. We compensate with meaningful equity, fast growth, and total ownership of your work. We will give you a real number on the first call, not a 'competitive range'.
Async by default. Long focus blocks, one short weekly sync if at all. Friday is for Jumua. Ramadan operates on a different rhythm and we plan around it. Family and salah take precedence over deadlines.
Yes. The team is small enough that everyone works with the founder directly. There is no middle layer to filter your ideas through. There is also no middle layer to hide behind when something is hard.
Yes. We have part-time and project roles specifically so people in school, hifz, or qualified scholarship can contribute without abandoning what they are already doing. Tell us about your time constraints honestly.
One inbox. One person reads it. There is no such thing as "too early to apply" or "you do not exactly fit the role". Tell us who you are and what you would do here.
