  • Lead initiatives to scale AI systems for production environments, ensuring performance and reliability across use cases.
  • Contribute to solving cutting-edge problems in AI and help define the future roadmap for Cresta’s AI Agents.
  • Innovate and research ways to improve security, cost-efficiency, and reliability of AI systems.
Qualifications We Value:
  • Bachelor’s or Master's Degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field
  • 2+ years of hands-on industry experience with AI and machine learning, preferably with experience working with LLMs in large-scale production environments
  • Solid knowledge of machine learning concepts and methods, especially those related to NLP, Generative AI, and working with LLMs
  • Practical knowledge of modern machine learning frameworks and technologies (e.g., PyTorch, Tensorflow, Hugging Face, NumPy), as well as experience with distributed systems and cloud-based AI infrastructure
  • Strong problem-solving and strategic thinking abilities, with a proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and work collaboratively to deliver innovative AI solutions in production
  • A passion for driving AI adoption and pushing the boundaries of AI technology into real-world applications, with an ability to mentor junior engineers and influence strategic decisions across the organization

Perks & Benefits:

  • 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
  • Work from home office stipend to help you succeed in a remote environment
  • Lunch reimbursement for in-office employees 
  • PTO: 3 weeks in Canada 

Compensation for this position includes a base salary, equity, and a variety of benefits. Actual base salaries will be based on candidate-specific factors, including experience, skillset, and location, and local minimum pay requirements as applicable. We are actively hiring for this role in the US and Canada. Your recruiter can provide further details.

We have noticed a rise in recruiting impersonations across the industry, where scammers attempt to access candidates' personal and financial information through fake interviews and offers. All Cresta recruiting email communications will always come from the @cresta.ai domain. Any outreach claiming to be from Cresta via other sources should be ignored.  If you are uncertain whether you have been contacted by an official Cresta employee, reach out to [email protected]
