AI Growth Engineer

Cresta

1d•$160,000 - $280,000

About The Position

Cresta is hiring its first AI Growth Engineer to own the technical systems behind how the company presents itself online and uses its AI agents for marketing. The role owns cresta.com end to end, including the website architecture, content flow, connections to other systems, and the technical direction of the website stack and CMS. The site currently runs on Webflow. The engineer will build tools that enable marketers to publish without engineering support, create and maintain a component system in partnership with brand and design, and develop AI agents on Cresta’s platform for marketing use cases. The role also owns website instrumentation and the technical foundations for localization, SEO, and answer engine optimization (AEO). Working with marketing operations, web strategy, and forward deployed engineering, the engineer will take AI agents from prototype to production, define their evaluation criteria and guardrails, and establish appropriate human review. The position involves sharing deployment feedback with product and engineering teams, identifying platform gaps, and influencing the roadmap. It calls for broad engineering ability, independent ownership, and comfort navigating ambiguous work alongside a non-engineering team.

A track record of quickly learning unfamiliar domains and developing deep expertise.
High agency: ability to define work, deliver without needing direction on what to build, and take responsibility for closing gaps.
Strong understanding of AI agent frameworks, function calling, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
Comfort working as the deepest technical voice on a non-engineering team, scoping ambiguous requests, and explaining tradeoffs to marketers.
Strong ownership of outcomes, including addressing problems in existing systems or work.
