  • Innovate and implement security measures, cost-reduction strategies, and performance improvements in backend systems supporting AI Agents.

Qualifications We Value:



  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field.

  • 2+ years of experience in backend system architecture, cloud services, or related technology fields.

  • Knowledge in designing and maintaining clear and robust APIs with a strong understanding of protocols including gRPC, REST.

  • Experience in high-performance database schema design and query optimization, including knowledge of SQL and NoSQL databases.

  • Experience in containerized application deployment using Kubernetes and Docker in microservices architectures.

  • Experience with cloud environments such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, with a strong understanding of cloud security and compliance standards.

  • Bonus: experience working with Virtual Agent or AI Agent systems.

  • We offer Cresta employees a variety of medical, dental, and vision plans, designed to fit you and your family’s needs

  • Paid parental leave to support you and your family

  • Monthly Health & Wellness allowance
