    Job description

    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

    Sarvam AI is building foundational AI infrastructure. We're looking for a hands-on security leader who brings the rigor, threat modeling discipline, and depth of BFSI/Fintech security — and applies it to AI infrastructure, platforms, and products.

    You will own security strategy, product security, and security research while staying deeply technical and close to the systems you're securing. This is not an audit management role — you'll be designing architectures, finding vulnerabilities, and shipping fixes.

    What You'll Do

    Security Strategy & Architecture

    • Define and evolve Sarvam AI's end-to-end security strategy

    • Design secure architectures for Sarvam's products and API platform

    • Apply BFSI-grade threat modeling and controls to AI infrastructure

    • Make pragmatic risk decisions that balance research velocity with security

    Product & Application Security

    • Lead threat modeling for AI products, APIs, and data systems

    • Own application and API security, including auth, access control, and data isolation

    • Drive vulnerability discovery, remediation, and verification

    Systems & Processes

    • Set up systems and processes to proactively find and validate vulnerabilities across products and infrastructure

    • Perform targeted adversarial testing and red-teaming

    • Research emerging threats relevant to AI systems and enterprise use cases

    Cloud & DevSecOps

    • Secure cloud infrastructure, IAM, and secrets management

    • Integrate security checks into CI/CD pipelines without slowing teams down

    • Improve detection and response readiness

    What We're Looking For

    • Hands-on experience securing enterprise and BFSI/Fintech infrastructure

    • Participated in CTFs across web, crypto, pwn, or mixed categories

    • Participated in bug bounty programs, especially private programs for fintech, cloud, or infrastructure companies

    Why Sarvam?

    Sarvam is a fast-moving, high talent-density team building full-stack AI for India, working on problems that push the frontiers of AI with real population-scale impact.

    • Work alongside researchers, engineers, builders, and business leaders who move fast and hold each other to a very high bar

    • High ownership and high impact, from day one

    • Everything we do is AI-first, from the way we build and ship to the way we think about problems

    • You can work on problems that could change how an entire country learns, works, and communicates

    If you want to work on problems at the frontier of AI in India, Sarvam is the place to be.
