About Bespoke Labs

At Bespoke Labs.AI, we’re building immersive digital worlds where intelligent agents learn, reason, and evolve. We design large-scale AI environments and production-grade systems that directly shape how next-generation models are trained, not tooling around AI, but the systems that power it. Our work has driven foundational datasets like OpenThoughts and state-of-the-art models such as Bespoke-MiniCheck and Bespoke-MiniChart.

We’re inviting high-caliber Software Engineers from top-tier institutions with relevant work experience in  Software Development  Domain to collaborate with us. This is a fully remote, freelance opportunity for engineers with 3–10 years of experience in Product companies who value technical depth, ownership, and flexibility. Contribute on your own schedule, without leaving your full-time role and work on real, high-impact engineering that actively trains and advances frontier AI.

As a Software Engineer at Bespoke Labs AI, you will work on systems that power large-scale AI training and execution. This is the role where your engineering decisions have direct impact on both production systems and model performance.

• Build and maintain core backend systems for AI training and task execution
• Design and operate scalable, high-throughput services handling millions of tasks per week
• Develop distributed workflows and compute orchestration systems
• Collaborate closely with AI researchers and model engineers to ship end-to-end solutions
• Take ownership of production systems in a fast-paced, execution-driven environment

What We Are Looking For

• 3 - 10 years of professional software engineering experience
• Mandatory experience in building 0–1 products within leading Product companies
• Experience building and operating systems at scale
• Strong fundamentals in systems design, data structures, and distributed systems
• Familiarity with modern stacks such as Python and Go, databases, and async systems
• Comfortable working in high-ownership startup environments
• Computer Science / CS background from top tier college or an equivalent college or university is preferred.

What You’ll Find at Bespoke Labs / What makes us different:

• Work on mission-critical systems influencing AI behavior
• Collaborate with a highly selective group of engineers and researchers
• Flexible working hours - contribute based on your availability, with a commitment of 30–40 hours per week.
• Ideal for engineers exploring high-impact side work or frontier AI exposure (Short Term / Long term Projects)
• We keep the bar high and the teams small.

Compensation:

• Currently, pay rates for core project work are up to $50-$110 per hour.
• Rates vary based on expertise, skills assessment, location, project need, and other factors.
