Frontend Engineer, Chanakya
Frontend Engineer, Chanakya
As a Frontend Engineer, Chanakya, you will be responsible for building high-performance frontend interfaces for Sarvam's AI stack, specifically for strategic sector and enterprise AI use cases. This role involves owning the frontend layer of product components end-to-end, working in challenging offline-first, low-bandwidth environments, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver impactful solutions.
About the role
About the Role
These are not form-and-table frontend roles. The frontend engineers on this team build the interfaces that sit on top of Sarvam's AI stack in some of the most demanding environments in the country. You will own the frontend layer of multiple 'atoms' — replicable, deployable product components — and work closely with backend engineers, the PM, and the deployment team. These interfaces must work in offline-first, low-bandwidth, hardened client environments, not just on a MacBook over broadband.
What You'll Do
- Design and build performant, production-grade frontend interfaces for strategic sector and enterprise AI use cases: geospatial overlays, simulation UIs, natural language access layers, ontology viewers, data ingestion dashboards, and complex enterprise workflows
- Own the frontend layer of atoms end-to-end — from component architecture to deployment in client-embedded environments
- Collaborate with backend engineers and the PM to ship complete, scoped atoms into the hands of real users
- Build for constrained environments: offline-first, low-bandwidth, limited hardware — not the idealised development environment
- Contribute to shared frontend infrastructure: component libraries, design system, and state management patterns
- Participate in field testing and client feedback loops with Strategic Deployment Engineers across strategic sector and complex enterprise accounts
What We're Looking For
- 3–6 years in frontend engineering with shipped, production-grade products
- Deep React proficiency; TypeScript; modern CSS (Tailwind or equivalent); strong component architecture instincts
- State management proficiency: Zustand, Redux Toolkit, or equivalent; strong async data patterns
- Data visualisation experience: D3.js, Mapbox/Leaflet, Deck.gl for geospatial, Recharts, or equivalent — at least one in production
- REST and WebSocket API integration; sufficient backend awareness to debug across the boundary
- Performance engineering: bundle optimisation, lazy loading, and rendering performance in low-resource environments
Bonus Points
- WebGL or Three.js for 3D visualisation
- Electron or desktop app experience
- Offline-first or PWA architecture
- Prior work on dashboards, command-and-control UIs, or complex enterprise tooling
