Excellence
We ship work that stands next to the best streaming products in the world, not the best in our category. Craft, performance and finish are the baseline, not the stretch goal.
Careers
Build the Future of Black Muslim Entertainment
We build BMT from five countries. Here is how the team works and what we are hiring for.
62People across the company
5Countries we employ in
Remote-firstWith hubs in London, Nairobi and Dubai
Culture and values
Four things we actually hire and promote against. Written the way they show up in the work, not the way they look on a wall.
Authenticity
We build for an audience we belong to. Nobody here has to explain why a character prays or translate their reference points before a meeting can start.
Inclusion
Five countries, many languages, one standard of respect. Decisions are written down so the person two time zones away has the same context as the person in the room.
Innovation
Small teams with real ownership, short paths from idea to production, and the freedom to try the version nobody has built yet, including the ones that do not work.
Benefits
The same package wherever you are based, adjusted for local market rates rather than local expectations.
Competitive salary and equity
Benchmarked to the top quartile of the market you work in, reviewed every year, with meaningful equity for every permanent hire, not just leadership.
Health insurance, everywhere
Global medical, dental and mental health cover for you and your dependants, valid in every country we employ in, with no waiting period.
Remote-first culture
Work from wherever you are best, with core overlap hours between 12:00 and 16:00 GMT. Offices in London, Nairobi and Dubai are there if you want them, not required.
Learning and development budget
£2,000 a year for courses, conferences, coaching or equipment for your craft, plus paid time to actually use it.
Flexible time off
Untracked holiday with a 25-day minimum we insist on, public holidays of your choosing, and Eid and Ramadan schedules built into the calendar by default.
Kit that keeps up
Your choice of laptop, a £750 home-office budget and a data allowance for anyone working from a connection that needs it.
We fly the whole company together twice a year. Once for planning, once purely to spend time in the same room. Travel, accommodation and time are on us.
Open roles
Twelve roles across five teams. If none of them fit but you belong here, send a general application, we read those too.
