About The Role

DevRel at Sarvam is part engineering, part content, part community — and this role manages the code and content pillars.

As a Developer Advocate, you are a developer first. You build the demos, cookbooks, integrations, and technical content that show developers what's possible with Sarvam's models — and make it easy for them to ship. Your code and your writing are often the first experience a developer has with Sarvam, and you hold both to a high bar.

At the core of this role is empathy. A great Developer Advocate has felt the frustration of a confusing API, a missing code example, or an unanswered support thread. You notice where developers get stuck, and you don't just fix the symptom — you take the insight back to the engineering team and help close the loop. Feedback is not a side effect of this role. It's one of its most important outputs.

What You’ll Do

• Build cookbook recipes and demos — write end-to-end code examples covering voice agents, multilingual RAG, document AI, and Indic-language applications using Sarvam APIs. Every recipe ships with a working "Open in Colab" notebook.
• Create technical content — write blog posts, tutorials, quickstarts, and how-to guides that help developers build real things — and present the best of them as talks, livestreams, and videos.
• Ship integrations — build and document integrations with platforms like LiveKit, LangChain, LlamaIndex, Vercel AI SDK, and Pipecat so Sarvam APIs feel native in the tools developers already use.
• Improve SDK and docs DX — identify friction in the developer journey, write fixes, and ship improvements to our Python SDK, TypeScript adapter, and docs site.
• Track what matters — monitor SDK installs, cookbook usage, error rates, and integration adoption; surface insights that help the team prioritise what to build and write next.

What We're Looking For

• 1–3 years of experience as a software engineer, developer advocate, or in a technical content role — with real code shipped to real users.
• You can write code and prose equally well. You're strong in Python (and ideally TypeScript), and you can explain what the code does to a developer who's seeing Sarvam for the first time.
• You've shipped something public. A project, a repo, a blog, a talk, a demo — a body of work that reflects how you think and build. We care about this more than credentials.
• You're curious about language and AI. You don't need to be an ML researcher, but you should have a genuine interest in how speech, translation, and large language models work — especially in the context of Indian languages.
• You write clearly. DevRel is a writing-heavy role. Docs, tutorials, Discord replies, commit messages — clarity of thought shows up in all of them.
• You're passionate about teaching and great at delivering technical content. Talks, workshops, livestreams, tutorials — you love breaking down hard technical ideas and you're effective at getting them across to a room or an audience online.
• You're moving fast and follow through. You can take a loosely defined brief and ship something polished without being hand‑held.
• Bonus: You've built with LLM/voice/speech APIs, contributed to open source, spoken at meetups or conferences, or created developer‑facing content with an audience.
