About Ender Turing
Ender Turing is a product-focused AI startup building conversation intelligence solutions used by international companies in real production environments.
We're a small team of 12+ people across engineering, product and customer-facing roles, building an AI platform that processes millions of customer conversations across voice and chat.
Our technology helps companies turn conversations into actionable insights through speech-to-text, sentiment analysis, summaries and real-time analytics.
We work with international companies including UNIQA Insurance Group, OTP Bank, NovaPay, Fozzy Group, Dobrobut Hospitals and Aventus Group, with customers across Europe, the US and Latin America.
Small team. Global customers. Real production systems.

You'll work with 23 engineers, help them grow, review their work, solve complex technical problems and shape how we build the product.

Experience with technical architecture and ownership of engineering decisions
Experience leading, mentoring or managing engineers

Strong problem-solving and ownership mindset
Comfortable using AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor or Codex
Strong English communication skills

Nice to have:
Vue / TypeScript
Kubernetes / AWS / GCP

LLM, AI or speech-processing experience
