Maal, the world's first Islamic financial platform built entirely around artificial intelligence (AI), is unlocking new career horizons for UAE nationals as it continues to scale its team and expand its footprint from Abu Dhabi toward global ambitions.

As the platform expands, Maal is actively seeking to attract Emirati talent to join its journey, offering UAE nationals the opportunity to contribute to the development of a homegrown financial platform with a global vision. Joining Maal grants national talents the unique chance to help build a disruptive experience from the ground up—merging AI, cutting-edge technology, and Islamic finance principles—while leveraging their expertise and insights to shape a platform designed for a worldwide audience.

This initiative strongly aligns with the UAE's ongoing efforts to boost the participation of Emirati talent within the private sector, reflecting the government's strategic prioritization of national talent development and Emiratization (Tawteen) across various industries.

**Open House Recruitment Drive**
As part of its outreach to Emirati professionals, Maal is hosting an Open House on Monday, October 19, 2026, at 6:30 PM at its Abu Dhabi headquarters (Sky Tower, Al Reem Island, 21st Floor). The event will offer candidates an up-close look at Maal, an opportunity to network with the founding team, and insights into the platform’s vision. Attendees will also experience the dynamic work environment of a fast-growing tech entity and explore available career opportunities.

Abdallah Abu Sheikh, Founder and CEO of Maal, stated: 'We are building Maal from Abu Dhabi with an ambition to reach the world, and we firmly believe that Emirati talent must be at the heart of this journey. We want to provide UAE nationals with genuine opportunities to contribute their expertise, ambitions, and perspectives to what we are building, and to grow with us as we continue shaping Maal with a global vision.'

**AI-Native Financial Ecosystem**
Maal is pioneering a new generation of financial services that seamlessly integrates Islamic finance principles with the latest advancements in AI. Artificial intelligence has been deeply embedded into the platform's core from its inception—rather than functioning as an add-on—supporting its vision to deliver a simpler, highly interconnected financial experience.

A diverse range of career opportunities dedicated exclusively to UAE nationals is currently listed on Maal’s official recruitment portal.

This hiring drive follows Maal’s recent launch of its global waitlist, coming just three months after securing In-Principle Approval (IPA) from the Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE). Customers can join the waitlist to gain priority access to Maal’s inaugural products, along with exclusive rewards and early access to upcoming features.
