Sarvam AI is Hiring: 7 Open Roles

Sarvam AI has 20+ open roles in Bengaluru across AI research, engineering, sales, and product. Here are the 7 that tell the most interesting story about where Indian AI is headed in 2026.

With Sarvam AI, India’s Make in India in AI has finally arrived. The homegrown foundational AI company is on one of its biggest hiring pushes yet. With over 20 open positions across engineering, sales, marketing, and product, all based out of Bengaluru, the startup is clearly shifting gears from building to scaling.

If you have been waiting for the right moment to join one of the most consequential AI bets in the country, 2026 might be it. Here’s a curated breakdown of the roles worth knowing about, and what they reveal about where Sarvam is headed.

1. AI Researcher/Research Engineer – Autonomous Agents

Autonomous agents, AI systems that can plan, reason, and act over multiple steps, are where the entire industry is headed next. The fact that Sarvam is hiring researchers specifically for this domain signals they are trying to own a piece of the next frontier.

This role is ideal for researchers and engineers with backgrounds in LLM-based agents, multi-step reasoning, tool use, or reinforcement learning. If you want your research to ship into real products used at India’s scale, this is a rare opportunity to do exactly that.

2. Machine Learning Engineer – Computer Vision & VLM

Vision-Language Models are quickly becoming the backbone of the most capable AI systems being built today. Sarvam investing in this space tells you their ambitions go well beyond text and voice. They are building AI that can see, read, and reason across multiple modalities simultaneously.

In an Indian context, the applications are enormous: regional language document understanding, accessibility tools, vernacular signage recognition, and more. For ML engineers who want their work to have both technical depth and real-world reach, this one stands out.

3. Backend Engineer – Samvaad

Samvaad, meaning dialogue or conversation in Hindi, is one of Sarvam’s core products, built for real-time conversational AI. Building the backend that powers it is a genuinely hard engineering challenge: low-latency streaming pipelines, session management at scale, real-time audio or text processing, all while supporting the linguistic complexity of Indian languages.

This isn’t a backend role where you’re moving data between tables. It’s systems-level work with a product that could reach hundreds of millions of users.

4. Principal Security Engineer

When an AI startup hires a Principal Security Engineer, the message is clear: serious enterprise customers are incoming, and trust is non-negotiable. This is a senior, foundational role that you would be architecting Sarvam’s security posture from the ground up, covering everything from model infrastructure and API access to data protection and compliance.

For experienced security engineers who want to shape an entire company’s security story rather than patch someone else’s gaps, this doesn’t come around often.

5. Product Marketing Manager – Developer Platforms

Not every pivotal role at an AI company involves a GPU. This PMM position is for someone who can speak developer, not just write about AI, but craft narratives, launch strategies, and documentation frameworks that make technical products compelling to the engineers who build with them.

Developer marketing is its own discipline, and Sarvam opening a dedicated role for it is a sign the API platform has reached the maturity where it can be taken to market seriously. A rare find for marketers who want to operate at the intersection of AI and developer communities.

6. Reasoning GTM (Sovereign)

Of everything on Sarvam’s careers page, this might be the single most strategically loaded role. Sovereign AI refers to deployments within government and national infrastructure, systems where data must stay within borders, accountability must be local, and the vendor must be trusted at a national level.

Sarvam has a structural advantage here that no US-based AI company can easily replicate: it’s Indian-built, India-focused, and positioned to serve exactly the institutions that need sovereign assurance. Whoever takes this role will be selling AI at the highest levels of Indian public sector. If you have done government enterprise sales or worked in the AI-policy space, pay close attention.

7. Frontend Engineer Intern – Arya Team

The most underrated role on the list. It’s easy to scroll past an internship. Just don’t. Working at a foundational AI company when the products are still being shaped, when your code ships into real features, when the culture is still being decided, that’s the kind of early-career experience that’s very hard to replicate later.

The Arya Team is one of Sarvam’s product teams, and this internship is a direct door into it. If you are a student or a recent graduate with frontend skills and a genuine curiosity about AI, apply before this closes.

The Bigger Picture

Look at the shape of this hiring wave as a whole: autonomous agent research, vision-language models, sovereign AI sales, conversational infrastructure, developer platform marketing, and a clear thesis emerges. Sarvam AI is trying to build the AI stack for India: the models, the infrastructure, the products, the enterprise relationships, and now the security and go-to-market muscle to take it all to scale.

That’s an ambitious bet. And in 2026, with global AI competition intensifying and India’s digital economy growing at a rate few anticipated, it’s also a timely one. The question of which company becomes the definitive AI platform for India is still wide open, and Sarvam is hiring the people it believes will help answer it.

If that’s the kind of problem you want to work on, now is the moment.
