Language Engineer - Native in Turkish

At M47, we spark AI!

At M47, we are looking for a (Technical) Language Engineer who sits at the intersection of Software Development and Linguistics. This is a highly technical role designed for someone with a Computer Science mindset who wants to apply their coding skills to Natural Language Processing (NLP).

Unlike traditional linguistic roles, you will not be translating content manually. Instead, you will use your technical skills to automate processes, script solutions for large datasets, and debug the interaction between linguistic data and AI models. You will work alongside Software Engineers and ML Researchers to ensure our models understand Turkish with native-level fluency.

About your day-to-day:

• Scripting & Automation: Design and write Python scripts from scratch to process, clean, and validate massive text datasets (JSON, XML, CSV).

• Algorithmic Analysis: Investigate model failures by analyzing logs and data patterns, using code to identify root causes rather than manual review.

• Regular Expressions (Regex): Write complex Regex rules to automatically detect and fix linguistic errors across thousands of lines of data.

• Pipeline Debugging: Troubleshoot technical issues during data ingestion and export, working with the core engineering team to resolve encoding or formatting errors.

• Tooling Support: Provide technical feedback to improve internal annotation tools and automate repetitive tasks using shell scripts or simple bots.

Version Control: Manage datasets and codebase changes using Git (branching, committing, and merging).

This is for you if you have:

• BS/MS in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.

• Native level of Turkish (Spoken and Written) with excellent grammatical knowledge.

• Strong proficiency in Python. You must be able to proceed with coding tasks independently without heavy reliance on LLM tools.

• Comfortable working in a Unix-based environment (Bash, grep, piping commands).

• You prefer to write a script to fix a problem once, rather than fixing it manually 100 times.

• Professional fluency in English (C1/C2).

Nice to have:

• Practical experience with NLP libraries such as spaCy, NLTK, or Hugging Face.

• Experience with SQL for querying datasets.

• Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS, Azure).

• Previous experience in Software QA or Test Automation.
