Audio–Video Editor (Dubbing & Localization)

Sarvam AI · Bengaluru/Hybrid · Full-time

About the role

Sarvam Studio builds AI systems that dub and localise video across Indian languages. The AI does the heavy lifting - transcription, translation, voice generation, timing. A human still has to make the final output sound and feel right.

That's this role. You'll work inside our platform, running videos through the pipeline and then fixing what the model gets wrong: timing drift, awkward breaths and pauses, mix levels that don't sit, lip-sync slips, artefacts in the generated voice. You're the last set of ears before a file ships to a client.

This is not a creative-director job and you don't need a showreel of brand films. We're looking for good technical ears and a methodical hand.

What you'll do

• Process source video through our AI dubbing and editing pipeline, and review every output end-to-end

• Correct generated audio: timing and sync against the original, pacing of dialogue, breaths, silences, emphasis

• Mix and balance dubbed dialogue against original music and effects beds; ride levels, clean up noise, match loudness to delivery spec

• Fix the video side where needed — cuts, sync trims, re-timing, subtitle burn-in, format and export specs

• Flag recurring failure patterns back to the engineering team so the pipeline improves (this is a real part of the job, not an afterthought)

• Maintain consistent quality standards and turnaround across a high volume of files

What we're looking for

• Good sound engineering fundamentals — you understand loudness standards, EQ, compression, noise reduction, dialogue editing and how a mix falls apart

• Comfort with sync-critical work — matching audio to picture frame-accurately

• An AI-first mindset: you're interested in working with a model's output rather than redoing it by hand, and you can tell the difference between "the model made a mistake" and "the model made a choice I wouldn't have"

• Patience for volume work and consistency across many files

• Experience in post-production audio mixing, dubbing, podcast editing, or similar. You don't need to be a senior mixer.

Nice to have

• Experience with dubbing, ADR or localisation workflows

• Working proficiency in a DAW (FL Studio, Pro Tools, Reaper, Audition, Logic) and at least one NLE (Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut)

• Fluency or working comfort in one or more Indian languages beyond English

• Familiarity with subtitle formats (SRT, VTT) and delivery specs for streaming platforms
