Defense software and XR platform developer for Turkish aerospace and military systems
BİTES develops safety-critical embedded software, avionic systems, and extended-reality platforms for Turkey's defense and aerospace sector as a majority-owned subsidiary of ASELSAN. The tech stack—IBM DOORS, MATLAB, MIL-STD-1553, Spring Boot, Kubernetes, and Azure DevOps—reflects a defense-grade systems house managing both low-level hardware protocols and cloud-native backend infrastructure. Active hiring skews mid-to-senior engineering with no inbound for sales or product roles, consistent with their public-sector and integrator-focused go-to-market model.
BİTES was founded in 2005 and is headquartered in Ankara, Turkey. ASELSAN acquired majority equity in 2019 and became the sole owner in 2023. The company operates at 501–1,000 employees and focuses on next-generation technologies including extended reality, image processing, artificial intelligence, modeling and simulation, avionic software, safety-critical embedded systems, and cloud infrastructure. Primary customers are Turkish defense and aerospace entities. The engineering-led org is actively hiring mid and senior-level engineers; supply chain integration and financial management process demands appear to be operational constraints.
