  • Lead initiatives to enhance system scalability and reliability in production environments, focusing on backend services that support AI functionalities
  • Drive efforts to optimize server response times, process large volumes of data efficiently, and maintain high system availability
  • Innovate and implement security measures, cost-reduction strategies, and performance improvements in backend systems supporting AI Agents

Requirements:

  • 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

Nice to have:

Bonus: experience working with Virtual Agent or AI Agent systems

What we offer:
  • 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
