Overview

Cresta's first AI Growth Engineer owns the technical systems behind cresta.com and builds custom AI agents on Cresta's platform for marketing use cases.

What you'll do

• Own how cresta.com is built end to end, including its structure, content flow and connections to other systems.

• Partner with brand and design to architect and build interactive experiences that carry Cresta's identity.
• Own the component system so the site stays consistent as it grows.
• Own instrumentation where the site meets the GTM stack, including forms, gated content, event tracking and attribution, in partnership with marketing ops.
• Build the technical foundation for localization, including locale routing, URL architecture and hreflang, partnering with the web strategy lead on CMS translation workflows and content structure.
• Put in engineering practices that let the team move quickly without breaking things.
• Ship the technical work behind SEO and AEO programs, in partnership with their owners.
• Develop, configure, deploy and optimize AI agents on Cresta's platform for marketing use cases, alongside the forward deployed engineering team.

• Give product and engineering teams a tight feedback loop by identifying gaps, building custom tooling and influencing the roadmap.

What you'll need

• Strong across the stack, including application code, APIs, data and infrastructure, in Python, TypeScript, Node or similar.

• Strong understanding of general AI agent frameworks, function calling and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
• Comfortable as the deepest technical voice on a non-engineering team, scoping ambiguous requests and explaining tradeoffs to marketers.
• Ownership: treat the outcome as yours, including when something breaks or was built badly before you arrived.
