About Wahed:
The global financial system wasn't built for everyone. For millions of people, its reliance on interest (riba) creates a barrier to managing money and building wealth without compromising their values.
At Wahed, we're changing that. We are a global fintech company on a mission to build a new financial system—one that is ethical, accessible, and entirely interest-free. From our offices across the globe, our team is building products that were once deemed impossible, from pioneering Shariah-compliant equity ETFs, creating true riba-free alternatives to high yield savings accounts, to creating no-leverage real estate investments for truly interest-free income producing assets. If you're driven to solve complex problems and believe finance should empower, not exclude, join us in building a more equitable financial future.
We are looking for savvy Data Engineers to join our growing team of analytics experts in Asia. They will be responsible for building, expanding and optimizing our data systems and data pipeline architecture, as well as optimizing data flow and collection for cross functional teams and various business departments. They need to be experienced data system builders, have worked on 100s of ETL jobs and be data wranglers who enjoy optimizing data systems and building them from the ground up.
They will also ensure optimal data delivery architecture is consistent throughout ongoing projects. We are looking for candidates that are self-motivated and eager to learn new technologies, work well both within a team and on their own, and have an attention to detail.
