About the Role:
The AI Agent team at Cresta is developing enterprise-grade AI Agents designed to function effectively within real-world contact center settings. A vital aspect of this mission is to ensure that our AI Agents can integrate seamlessly with various CCaaS platforms (Contact Center as a Service), facilitating smooth transitions between AI and human agents as required.

- Effortlessly transition conversations to human agents without losing context, history, or workflow state
- Assist human agents with AI support post-transfer
We seek talented backend engineers eager to work at the intersection of distributed systems, real-time communication, enterprise integrations, and AI orchestration.
This is not merely a research position; it is focused on constructing production-grade infrastructure that ensures AI Agents operate reliably within mission-critical customer environments.
Why This Role Is Unique:
- AI + Real-Time Systems: Contribute to infrastructure that enables AI Agents to participate in live conversations on a large scale.
- Enterprise-Grade Integrations: Design robust connections with major CCaaS platforms and customer systems.
