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 Open Thoughts and state‑of‑the‑art models such as Bespoke‑Mini Check and Bespoke‑Mini Chart.
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.
What You Will Do
- 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
- 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).
Please Note
- This is a freelance opportunity; we do not offer sponsorships/full‑time roles.
- You must be authorized to work in your country of residence.
