Join Cresta as a Growth Engineer, where you'll be responsible for the technical decisions behind our website and help shape how we utilize AI for marketing. You'll architect and build our web platform, create tools for marketers, and develop custom AI agents. This role requires strong engineering fundamentals, high agency, and the ability to quickly learn unfamiliar domains.

Architect and build the web platform for Cresta, creating tooling that allows marketers to ship without an engineer in the loop.

Responsibilities

  • Own the technical vision for the website stack and CMS, ensuring it evolves to meet the growing needs of the business.
  • Develop, configure, deploy, and optimize AI agents on Cresta's platform for marketing use cases, working alongside the engineering team.
  • Ownership. You treat the outcome as yours, including when something breaks or was built badly before you arrived
  • Comfortable as the deepest technical voice on a non-engineering team, scoping ambiguous requests and explaining tradeoffs to marketers

Requirements

  • Strong across the stack — application code, APIs, data, and infrastructure — in Python, TypeScript, Node, or similar
  • A track record of learning a domain fast and going deep. You've been dropped into something unfamiliar and become the person other people come to
  • 7+ years working in software development, web development, AI/ML engineering, or growth engineering
  • High agency. You define your own work, ship without being told what to build, and treat gaps as yours to close
  • Familiarity with AI/ML concepts. Hands-on experience with large language models (LLMs), and prompt engineering techniques are strongly preferred
  • Strong understanding of general AI agent frameworks, function calling, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)
  • Experience owning a marketing website. Useful context, not a hard requirement
  • Technical SEO and AEO experience grounded in tests rather than theory

Preferred

  • Marketing and GTM systems integration: HubSpot, Salesforce, Marketo, Segment, GA4, GTM
