The CPU Infrastructure team runs everything outside the GPU fleet: Kubernetes across Azure, AWS, GCP and Indian sovereign clouds, the network between them, Cloudflare, identity, secrets, observability, cost and the delivery pipeline every product ships through.\nThe team builds and runs what it builds. Engineers own real systems end to end, and every repeated piece of manual work is a candidate for automation. As an AI company, we are building AI agents into our own operations, to plan and review infrastructure changes, triage alerts and handle routine issues, with engineers setting the guardrails.\nAbout the role\nYou keep the infrastructure behind Sarvam’s products running. You handle day-to-day operations - deployments, provisioning, access, incidents and cost questions - and you are expected to automate that work away.\nWe hire for one instinct above everything else: you notice something done by hand every day, ask why it can’t run itself, and build the thing that removes it - a script, a pipeline step, a bot, a small Kubernetes operator, or an AI agent that does the work. Operations is a large part of this role, and it is where you find what is worth automating.\nAs you automate your own toil away, more of your time goes into platform and automation work.\nProducts you may work on\nSarvam builds across a broad range of AI products: voice agents, coding agents, coworker agents, dubbing, our API platform, and the real-time voice and WebRTC infrastructure underneath them, among many others. You will work on the infrastructure behind them.\nResponsibilities\nOwn infrastructure operations across Sarvam’s products: deployments, provisioning requests, access, environment issues, cost questions\nRespond to incidents, write the runbook or postmortem afterwards, and fix the cause\nAutomate repeated work: turn manual steps into pipeline jobs, Terraform modules, templates or self-service for product teams\nBuild AI-assisted automations: agents that triage alerts, summarise incidents, review routine changes or answer product teams’ infrastructure questions, with a human approving anything risky\nSecurity basics: keep images and dependencies patched, rotate credentials, keep secrets out of code, fix security findings\nReliability basics: keep dashboards and alerts accurate, track SLOs and cost, delete noisy alerts\nTake part in on-call\nRequirements\n2-5 years in DevOps, SRE, infrastructure or backend engineering\nHas built infrastructure outside a ticket: a homelab, an open-source contribution, a side project, or an internal tool nobody asked for - and can show the code (GitHub, a blog post or a demo)\nComfortable on the Linux command line: processes, networking basics, logs, systemd\nWorking knowledge of Docker and Kubernetes; has deployed and debugged something running on a cluster\nScripting in Python, Go or Bash\nBasic Git and CI/CD experience\nHas spotted a repeated manual task - a daily review, a recurring fix, a routine request - and built something that removed it: a script, a CI job, a bot or a Kubernetes operator. You can walk us through what you noticed, why it mattered, what you built and what it saved\nHas used LLMs or AI agents to automate real work, not only for writing code\nFixes causes rather than the same symptom twice; asks “why is this manual?” before doing it again\nCurious, takes ownership, wants to grow into platform engineering\nNice to have: Terraform, a public cloud (AWS, Azure or GCP), Prometheus / Grafana, exposure to SIP, WebRTC or real-time media, any cloud or Kubernetes certification","description_format":"text","description_chars":3618,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["LLM & Generative AI","Natural Language Processing","Speech & Audio AI","Foundation Models"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-26T08:11:36Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":91,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-31T05:58:55Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/sarvam-ai-infrastructure-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/sarvam-ai-infrastructure-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-01T01:57:24Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2940,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-02T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":229},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=229"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsarvam-ai-infrastructure-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsarvam-ai-infrastructure-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsarvam-ai-infrastructure-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/sarvam-ai-infrastructure-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsarvam-ai-infrastructure-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3264445}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"sarvam.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3264445},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
