Maal, the world’s first Islamic financial platform built entirely around artificial intelligence, is opening new career horizons for UAE nationals as it accelerates team expansion and broadens its footprint, scaling from Abu Dhabi toward global ambitions.

As Maal expands, it aims to attract top Emirati talent to join its journey, offering UAE citizens the opportunity to contribute to building a homegrown financial platform with a global vision.

Joining Maal offers national talents the chance to participate in crafting a groundbreaking experience from the ground up—one that seamlessly converges AI, cutting-edge technology, and Islamic finance principles. It enables them to leverage their expertise and strategic insights in developing a platform designed to serve a worldwide audience.

This initiative comes as the UAE intensifies efforts to enhance Emirati participation across the private sector, aligning with government priorities to empower national talent and drive their active engagement in high-growth, knowledge-based industries.

To connect directly with Emirati professionals, Maal is hosting an Open House on Monday, October 19, 2026, at 6:30 PM, at its Abu Dhabi headquarters located in Sky Tower, Al Reem Island, 21st Floor. The event offers candidates a firsthand look into Maal, the opportunity to meet the leadership team, gain deeper insight into its ongoing initiatives, experience the work culture of a fast-scaling tech enterprise, and explore available career openings.

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 very core of this journey. We want to provide UAE nationals with genuine opportunities to bring their expertise, ambitions, and perspectives to what we are creating, growing alongside us as we scale Maal with a global footprint and outlook."

Maal is engineering a next-generation financial services model that blends Islamic finance fundamentals with state-of-the-art AI technologies. Artificial intelligence was integrated into the core architecture of Maal from day one—rather than added as an afterthought—reinforcing its mission to deliver a simplified, deeply interconnected financial experience.

This talent push follows the recent opening of Maal’s global waitlist, just three months after securing an In-Principle Approval (IPA) from the Central Bank of the UAE. Prospective users can join the waitlist to secure priority access to Maal's inaugural financial products, along with exclusive rewards and early access to upcoming features and releases.
