Job description

Founded in 2017, Paribu has been playing a key role in the development of Türkiye’s crypto asset ecosystem by delivering innovative blockchain-based products and services. It offers a fast, easy, and secure exchange experience with more than 210 crypto assets.

In 2024, Paribu introduced Paribu Custody, one of the few globally digital asset custody solutions tailored for institutional clients. At the same time, Paribu offers a secure self‑custody experience for individuals and startups through its next‑generation crypto wallet solution, Paribu Self. Beyond its mission to increase blockchain adoption, Paribu is committed to shaping the future by actively supporting culture, arts, sports, and education.

Paribu works with curious, innovative, and impact‑driven professionals who are passionate about pushing boundaries and driving technological advancement. It fosters a culture of continuous learning, collaboration, and sharing. Whether you specialise in technology, design, strategy, operations, or beyond, you will be part of a team shaping the future of finance.

Paribu provides a working environment where ideas turn into reality, and innovation thrives. Here, you’ll work alongside talented professionals, tackle exciting challenges, and contribute to meaningful projects that align with Paribu’s vision of delivering fast, easy, and secure experiences.

The impact you’ll make

At Paribu, every team member plays a crucial role in driving innovation and delivering high‑quality solutions. As an AI Engineer, you will be responsible for:

• Designing, building, and operating production‑grade LLM applications, including RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, and tool integrations
• Building scalable backend services and APIs that power AI products and internal knowledge systems
• Developing evaluation and observability practices to measure model quality, reliability, latency, and cost
• Designing secure and permission‑aware AI systems with strong data governance, privacy, and auditability
• Integrating AI capabilities with developer and collaboration tools such as GitHub, Slack, CI/CD pipelines, and MCP‑based tools
• Owning AI solutions end to end, from architecture and experimentation to cloud deployment and production operations
• Working closely with engineering teams and business stakeholders to identify high‑impact AI use cases and turn them into scalable solutions
• Driving adoption of AI‑powered workflows across teams by experimenting, measuring impact, and continuously improving solutions
• Contributing to the development of the AI engineering team through technical leadership, mentoring, and knowledge sharing

We value skills and potential as much as experience. To thrive in this role requires:

• Hands‑on experience building production‑grade LLM applications, including RAG, embeddings, hybrid search, reranking, prompt/context engineering, and agent or tool‑use architectures
• Strong backend engineering skills with Python and/or TypeScript/Go, API design, asynchronous systems, databases, vector stores, and message queues
• Experience evaluating and monitoring LLM systems through eval sets, online/offline metrics, tracing, and latency and cost optimization
• Strong understanding of security and data governance, including permission‑aware retrieval, PII handling, secrets management, and auditability
• Experience integrating AI systems with developer tools and workflows such as GitHub, Slack, CI/CD, and MCP‑style integrations
• Working knowledge of cloud infrastructure, containers, Kubernetes, and infrastructure‑as‑code practices
• Strong product and engineering judgment, with the ability to balance accuracy, cost, complexity, security, and speed
• Ability to operate in ambiguous 0→1 environments, define problems, ship quickly, and iterate based on real user feedback
• Clear communication skills with the ability to explain AI trade‑offs and technical decisions to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders
• Strong ownership and ability to influence cross‑functional teams through results, collaboration, and enablement
• Experience mentoring engineers or contributing to building and growing engineering teams
• Experience with GraphRAG, knowledge graphs, fine‑tuning, model distillation, or coding agents is considered a plus

• Meal allowance – Generous support with a flexible meal card.
• Private health insurance – Comprehensive coverage for employees, including spouse and children.
