Sarvam, Bengaluru
You'll work on the open-ended questions that decide what our next models look like. This is not a fine-tuning role. It's not an "apply known recipes" role. We're looking for a researcher who can take a vague hunch about architecture, optimization, data composition, or training dynamics, design the right ablations, run them at meaningful scale, and turn the result into a decision that ships in a production training run.
You will have direct access to large compute and a tight feedback loop with the engineers building our training stack and data pipelines. You will be expected to disagree with the team and defend your reasoning with evidence.
Why this role?
You will be one of a small number of people in the world who get to make architectural and training-recipe decisions on a frontier-scale model run, with the autonomy and compute to back it up.
