Cresta operates a contact center platform combining AI agents with human-augmented assistance, built on Vertex AI and OpenAI with orchestration via Kubernetes and event-driven architecture (Elasticsearch, ClickHouse). The engineering-heavy hiring mix (59 roles) skews senior and staff levels, reflecting active work on AI agent development, ML infrastructure, and production-scale challenges—most notably ASR quality, ai-human handoffs, and scaling automation across enterprise deployments. Recent adoption of SIP and WebRTC alongside iPaaS signals deepening voice-channel integration.

Cresta is a contact center AI platform headquartered in Sunnyvale, founded in 2017, serving mid-market and enterprise customers across financial services, hospitality, and communications. The product operates as a unified layer: AI agents handle defined workflows, real-time coaching augments live agent calls, and post-interaction analytics surface coaching and quality insights. The architecture spans voice (SIP, WebRTC), chat, Salesforce integration, and observability tooling (Gong, Slack). Teams report deployment challenges around ASR reliability, handoff logic, and conversation volume scaling—problems the current project roadmap directly addresses through ML infrastructure work and evaluation frameworks.
Cresta uses Vertex AI and OpenAI for LLM backbone, Kubernetes (EKS) for orchestration, PostgreSQL and ClickHouse for data, Elasticsearch for search, React/Node.js for frontend, and integrations to Salesforce, Gong, and Slack. Voice and chat are handled via SIP/WebRTC.
Cresta is hiring across United States, Canada, Germany, Romania, United Kingdom, Australia, India, and Taiwan—with notable field and sales leadership roles in addition to engineering.
