Embedded Infrastructure Engineer, Chanakya

About the Role

About Sarvam Sarvam is building the bedrock of Sovereign AI for India. The company is developing India's full-stack sovereign AI platform, building across research, models, infrastructure and applications with a singular focus on making AI genuinely work for India. Sarvam works with leading enterprises and public institutions and is backed by Lightspeed, Peak XV, and Khosla Ventures. Sarvam partners with India's leading brands, including Tata Capital, SBI Life, CRED, IDFC, and LIC. About the Role Embedded Infrastructure Engineers design, build, and maintain the data infrastructure that underpins AI system deployments at client sites. You work alongside Embedded Data Scientists and Strategic Deployment Engineers to ensure that terabyte-scale datasets can be ingested, stored, queried, and served to AI reasoning engines reliably and performantly. This means building and operating data platforms that handle terabyte-scale persistent data stores and sustained large daily ingestion volumes across structured records, documents, imagery, audio, and geospatial data. You will design and maintain the databases, object stores, ingestion pipelines, and processing layers that make this possible. You will make critical decisions about storage architecture, indexing strategies, pipeline orchestration, and system performance — often in constrained, air-gapped, or operationally sensitive environments where you cannot rely on managed cloud services or standard enterprise tooling. You will own the reliability and performance of the infrastructure layer in your assigned accounts. What You'll Do • Design and operate data storage architectures (relational, document, vector, object storage) capable of managing terabyte-scale datasets across multiple modalities • Build and maintain ingestion pipelines that reliably process daily data influx — including batch and streaming workloads — with monitoring, error handling, and backpressure management • Implement indexing, partitioni
