About the role

Sarvam is hiring a Software Development Engineer to join a small team and own large parts of the platform, focusing on ingestion, data modelling, retrieval, and memory for agents. The role involves building production-grade backend/data systems, working with Go, Temporal, OpenSearch, and PostgreSQL, and collaborating with model and product teams to deliver customer-focused solutions.

Responsibilities

  • Build and run the ingestion pipeline that parses, extracts and indexes large volumes of documents, and keep it reliable when files are messy and external services fail.
  • Connect to databases and enterprise systems so agents can work with structured records as well as documents.
  • Design how enterprise data is modelled, including the ontology, matching the same entity across sources, and tracing every value back to where it came from.
  • Build the retrieval tools agents call, with search, filters and citations, and make them fast and cheap enough for agents to use heavily.
  • Build memory for agents at the level of a user, a team and the whole organisation: how it is written, stored, retrieved and kept accurate over time.
  • Run evals, find where answers go wrong, and keep iterating until quality improves.
  • Work with product and forward-deployed engineers to turn what one customer needs into something the platform does for every customer.
  • Write design docs and keep decisions documented.

Qualifications

  • 3 to 5 years of experience.
  • Built and run backend or data systems in production, and fixed them when they broke.
  • Strong in at least one backend language; Go experience is a plus and preferred.
  • Good fundamentals in data modelling and PostgreSQL.
  • Experience with long-running pipelines and safe retry/recovery.
  • Experience in search or retrieval and debugging retrieval accuracy.
  • Regular use of AI coding tools and understanding of their strengths/weaknesses.
  • Interest in measuring quality and building evals for it.
