About Tarteel

Tarteel was founded with one mission: to strengthen the relationship Muslims have with the Quran. This goal has been at the very heart of Tarteel since its creation, and we continue to strive to provide the proper tools to empower the Muslim ummah to better connect with the words of Allah SWT, nourishing their faith in doing so. Inspired by the Islamic Golden Age, we saw untapped potential in the area of religious technology. We built Tarteel to help Muslims improve their Quranic study using the best digital tools. The Quran is a journey, and Tarteel is your companion.

The Tarteel app has more than 20M downloads and is powered by our state of the art models. As a company we've established relationships with leading AI companies such as Nvidia, who has us as a featured customer: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/case-studies/automating-real-time-arabic-speech-recognition/. We currently have a core team of 20 exceptionally talented individuals.

What we're looking for

Tarteel is building the tools and resources to support and accelerate the work of the next generation of Muslim developers.

You should also be able to collect and provide feedback from external stakeholders and share them internally to help scope and prioritize our open source resources roadmap and development.
