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.\nAbout the Role\nSarvam’s brand is already an argument about motion - it just hasn’t been allowed to move yet.\nThe monogram is a gateway that emerges - layered circles resolving out of mandala geometry into a single threshold form. The palette isn’t a set of swatches; it’s a continuous run from blue to orange, built to suggest progression and responsive state. Both of those ideas are about change over time. Both are currently being made mostly in stills.\nWe want the person who resolves that. Not someone to animate a logo once for a launch, but someone who decides how this brand behaves - how it enters, how it responds, how a gradient moves without becoming wallpaper - and then builds that language across films, web and product.\nIt’s a rare brief: a real identity with real motion logic baked into it, and nobody has run at it yet.\nWhat you’ll do\nDefine the motion language, not just the motion. Timing, easing, entrances, transitions, how the monogram behaves and how the gradient travels - documented and reusable, so the next fifty assets don’t start from zero.\n\nMake the films. Model launches, product announcements, research drops, event opens, brand pieces. Concept, board, animate, edit, sound, deliver - you’ll own the shot end to end.\n\nMake the product move too. Web animation, scroll behaviour, UI micro-interactions, demo and walkthrough videos. This is the half of the role that keeps the other half honest: motion that ships inside a live surface has constraints a film doesn’t.\n\nHand off cleanly to engineering. Lottie, Rive, sprite sequences, or a spec an engineer can actually build from. Work that dies in After Effects doesn’t count.\n\nSolve the hard one: visualising speech. Our products are conversational - voice agents across 11 Indian languages, code-switching mid-sentence. Showing listening, thinking, speaking and switching, without falling back on a generic waveform, is the most interesting motion problem in the building.\n\nUse AI properly in the pipeline. Generative video, boards and previz, roto, upscaling, variation. You should already be doing this, with a clear sense of where it saves a week and where it costs you the shot.\n\nWork across the whole company. Design, marketing, product, research, founders. Rough briefs, hard launch dates, and work that still holds up at the end of it.\n\nWhat we’re looking for\n3+ years in motion design, in-house or at a studio, with a reel that shows both narrative work and work that shipped inside a product or website.\n\nDeep After Effects. Shape layers, expressions, proper rigging - not template-and-swap. Plus real editing chops in Premiere or Resolve.\n\nFigma is non-negotiable. Motion here starts inside the design system, not beside it.\n\nIllustrator and Photoshop at working depth - you’ll be building and cleaning your own assets.\n\nFundamentals over flourish. Timing, weight, staging, anticipation, and how type behaves in motion. We will notice your easing curves.\n\nNative fluency with AI tools in a professional motion workflow, and a point of view about it.\n\nSystem thinking. Evidence you’ve taken a static identity and extended it into motion - or taken a motion system somewhere its guidelines hadn’t gone.\n\nA real stake in this. You should care specifically about what Indian design deserves to look like in motion - and be a little impatient that it mostly doesn’t look like that yet.\n\nBonus points\n3D - Blender or Cinema 4D, especially for abstract systems, geometry and product visualisation\n\nReal-time or code-based motion: Rive, three.js, GLSL, TouchDesigner, Houdini\n\nSound design and mix - or at least strong instincts about audio driving picture\n\nIndic typography in motion: animating Devanagari, Tamil or Kannada without breaking the letterforms\n\nHow to apply\nSend a reel - 90 seconds is plenty - plus a breakdown of what you did on each piece. Three shots you own completely beat a beautifully cut reel of team work. If one of them had to survive a real constraint - an engineer, a file size, a deadline, a language you don’t read - lead with that.\n · sarvam.ai\nWhy Sarvam\nSarvam 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.\nWork alongside researchers, engineers, builders, and business leaders who move fast and hold each other to a very high bar\n\nHigh ownership and high impact, from day one\n\nEverything we do is AI-first, from the way we build and ship to the way we think about problems\n\nYou can work on problems that could change how an entire country learns, works, and communicates\n\nIf you want to work on problems at the frontier of AI in India, Sarvam is the place to be.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5200,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"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":["Animation","LLM & Generative AI","Speech & Audio AI","Foundation Models"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-25T10:00:22Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":75,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.838,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":56,"expected_fill_days":91,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-21T05:46:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/sarvam-ai-motion-designer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/sarvam-ai-motion-designer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-21T23:07:19Z","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":32878,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-22T00:00:00Z"}},"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-motion-designer"},{"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-motion-designer"},{"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-motion-designer"},{"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-motion-designer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsarvam-ai-motion-designer"}]}
