About the role:

Cresta’s Core Platform underpins the company’s entire product portfolio. Our long term vision is to build a robust, reliable, secure, and extensible foundation that supports continued innovation, satisfies enterprise customer requirements, and keeps operational costs in check. Two critical components for that are agent assist backend services and scalable authentication systems, tools, processes and frameworks based on industry standards and security best practices.

This role is focused on building various backend systems needed to enable successful customer integrations:

• Enable agent assist integration for chat and email. This involves working with the frontend platform team, ML teams, infra team and other backend services.

• Expand our backend agent assist services to meet customer requirements and feature requests.

• Address any customer issues that block integrations, affect user experience or system performance.

• Work with the auth and security team to meet Cresta’s diverse authentication and security needs for internal workflows and external customer facing integrations.

We are looking for strong versatile backend engineers who want to work at the intersection of distributed systems, real-time communication, enterprise integrations, and IAM systems.
