Ai Engineer
- About Sarvam Sarvam is building the bedrock of Sovereign AI for India: a full-stack platform spanning research, models, infrastructure
- applications, with a singular focus on making AI genuinely work for India. We are backed by Lightspeed, Peak XV
- we partner with India's leading institutions and enterprises, including Tata Capital, SBI Life, CRED, IDFC
- LIC. About the Role We are looking for an AI engineer to own the build and delivery of AI applications for healthcare, working across providers, payors
- the wider healthcare ecosystem. This is a forward-deployed, high-agility role: you work directly with clients to take a problem from the first conversation to a production system, building on Sarvam's models and infrastructure. You will move fast, ship often
- own outcomes in a domain where reliability genuinely matters. What You'll Do
- Build and ship AI applications for healthcare clients: document understanding, conversational and voice agents, retrieval systems, and workflow automation, built on Sarvam's models.
- Work directly with providers and payors to scope real problems and turn them into production systems that hold up in the field.
- Integrate Sarvam's language, speech, and translation models into healthcare workflows, often across multiple Indian languages.
- Build the evaluation and guardrails that keep outputs reliable and safe in a high-stakes domain.
- Move fast across several engagements at once, iterating tightly with clients and shipping in short cycles.
- Take systems from prototype to production: instrument them, debug them under real load, and keep improving accuracy and reliability. What We're Looking For
- A few years of hands-on engineering, building and shipping real AI or ML applications, not just prototypes.
- Genuine strength with the applied AI stack: LLMs, prompting, retrieval (RAG), fine-tuning, evals, and agentic systems.
- Solid backend engineering, ideally in Python, and comfort owning services in production.
- High agility above all: you are comfortable with ambiguity, you iterate fast, and you own a problem end to end without waiting to be told what to do.
- Strong communication and the confidence to work directly with clients, translating their needs into what you build.
- A clear bias for shipping, with the judgment to know what is good enough to put in front of real users in a high-stakes domain. Bonus Points
- You have dealt with healthcare clients before: providers, payors, diagnostics, or pharma.
- Familiarity with healthcare data and workflows, such as clinical documentation, claims, prior authorization, or patient engagement.
- Experience with Indian language NLP or multilingual AI.
- Hands-on work with voice AI or conversational agents.
- Awareness of data privacy and compliance in regulated domains. Why Sarvam? Sarvam is a fast-moving, high talent-density team building full-stack AI for India, working on problems at the frontier of AI with real population-scale impact.
- Work alongside researchers, engineers, and builders who move fast and hold each other to a very high bar.
- High ownership and high impact from day one, on applications that reach real patients and real institutions.
- Everything we do is AI-first, from how we build and ship to how we think about problems.
- A chance to build AI that changes how an entire country accesses and delivers care.
