Job description

About Roots Academy. 

Roots Academy’s Vision.

A generation of young Muslims who embody and promote a God-centred way of life.

At Roots Academy, we’ve built a learning experience that’s changing the lives of the ummah’s future leaders, change-makers and visionaries. Our Mission is to deliver a structured and transformative education in the Essentials of Islam in a way that lowers barriers to access, develops a deep certainty, and inspires action.

Why Does Roots Academy Exist?

Crisis of Faith: 1 in 4 young Muslims are leaving the religion due to various factors, primarily the pervasive anti-religious content and temptations they encounter online and offline. 

Roots Academy exists to bridge this gap by providing a structured and transformative Islamic education that speaks directly to the needs and challenges of young Muslims today, delivered in an engaging and accessible form that removes barriers to access and provokes thought and action.

Role Summary.

We’re looking for a Data Engineer to help build, maintain, and scale Roots Academy’s data infrastructure. You’ll take ownership of key data pipelines, working closely with the data lead and collaborate with teams across Digital Platforms, Marketing, Fundraising, and Operations to ensure our data is reliable, well structured, and useful for decision making. Your work will directly support how we measure student transformation, programme impact, and organisational performance at every level.

Beyond this, you’ll contribute to the design of our data architecture, helping shape how data flows from source systems into the database. You’ll also support management of our GCP environment (e.g. BigQuery datasets, IAM, performance), ensuring the platform remains clean, scalable, and secure as Roots grows.

Key tasks

  • Design, build and maintain data pipelines (e.g. from Firebase/Firestore, Google Drive/GCS, APIs into BigQuery)

  • Contribute to Data Architecture design

  • Manage & optimise datasets, and improve existing workflows (e.g. GitHub Actions, scheduled jobs, transformations)

  • Support GCP platform management (permissions, dataset structure, service accounts, cost awareness)

  • Improve documentation, data quality checks, and overall reliability of the data stack

What we’re looking for

  • Experience with Python, and Data Engineering concepts

  • Experience with SQL and data modelling concepts 

  • Comfortable using Git and working with structured repositories

  • Understanding of data pipeline concepts (batch processing, transformations, schema design)

  • Able to work independently with clear task ownership

Desirable:

  • Experience with GCP (BigQuery, IAM, Cloud Storage, service accounts)

  • Familiarity with CI/CD workflows (e.g. GitHub Actions)

  • Interest in impact measurement or education sector work

What we have to offer

  • Be part of a team of 100+ dedicated volunteers across the UK, Ireland, Canada, US, UAE and Australia.

  • Receive continuous rewards for those that seek Islamic knowledge from the Roots platform. 

  • Be a part of a growing organisation that aims to revive and educate Muslims from a grassroots perspective.

  • Receive in-house tarbiyah sessions to develop your deen. 

Please note this is an unpaid volunteer position. 

Volunteers are entitled to claim expenses incurred for food, travel and equipment, in line with our Expenses policy.
