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
Own sarvam's discrete-GPU surface: NVIDIA RTX / RTX Pro via TensorRT and CUDA, AMD ROCm-supported GPUs via ONNX Runtime, and DirectML as a Windows-universal fallback. The workstation form factor is the most relaxed footprint target but the most demanding latency target - users running creative tools alongside sarvam’s products expect zero perceptible cost.
What You’ll Do
Land Sarvam’s edge models on RTX / RTX Pro / AMD GPUs, hitting predefined SLAs with headroom for concurrent GPU workloads.
Author TensorRT plugins and custom CUDA / ROCm kernels where stock ops don't hit budget.
Drive workstation device CI.
What We're Looking For
5+ years on ML deployment with 2+ years on discrete GPU inference.
Production TensorRT including plugin authoring and engine refit.
CUDA fluency at minimum at debug level; kernel authoring is a strong plus.
Nsight Systems / Compute fluency.
ONNX Runtime + DirectML EP experience.
Bonus Points
AMD ROCm / HIP production experience.
CUDA kernel authoring.
