Istanbul, Türkiye
Europe / MENA
Overview
Istanbul is Corpshore's Europe and MENA delivery hub and a center for Middle Eastern language data, RLHF, and red-teaming. The owned facility spans a transcontinental city with native coverage of Turkish, Arabic, Kurdish, and Russian, giving it reach across both European and Middle Eastern language markets from a single site. That breadth is useful for programs that need several regional languages judged consistently.
Teams here handle MENA-language annotation, reinforcement-learning-from-human-feedback tasks, and adversarial red-team and evaluation work. Turkey's large, educated workforce and its position between Europe and the Middle East make Istanbul a practical base for multilingual alignment and safety programs.
Work runs through Corpshore's three-tier QA cascade, and the hub is building toward EU AI Act readiness alongside its GDPR posture, which matters for clients preparing models for the European market.

Talent pool
Türkiye has a large university-educated workforce, and Istanbul concentrates multilingual talent across Turkish, Arabic, Kurdish, and Russian. That makes the hub suited to preference-data and evaluation work that needs the same annotators to reason carefully across languages and cultural context.
