We are focused on leveraging the latest technologies in Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI Agent systems, while ensuring that the solutions we develop are cost-effective, secure, and reliable. As an AI Agent Engineer, you'll be at the forefront of deploying AI agents that address real-world challenges. In this role, you will work closely with customers as well as our software and machine learning engineers, ensuring high-impact AI Agent deployments and contributing to the continuous improvement of our core AI platform. You'll develop intelligent AI agents, integrate them seamlessly with external systems and offer hands-on technical expertise to ensure successful deployments.. This position requires strong engineering skills, adaptability, and customer engagement. If you are self-driven, analytical, and eager to leverage AI in practical applications, this role is for you. What You'll Do : * AI Agent Development: Develop, configure, deploy, and optimize AI agents using Cresta's AI platform and tools. * System Integration: Build AI agent integrations with external systems (APIs, databases, CRMs, etc.) to ensure seamless workflow integration. * Performance Optimization: Optimize AI agent performance (e.g. fine-tune prompts and configurations) and troubleshoot issues in complex enterprise environments. * Requirements Gathering: Collaborate with customers and internal stakeholders to gather technical requirements and translate business needs into AI Agent solutions. * Demos & Iteration: Conduct interactive demos and present compelling proof-of-concepts to prospective customers, proactively gather feedback, and iteratively refine solutions to meet objectives. * Project Coordination: Define project milestones, create implementation plans, and coordinate execution with internal teams to ensure on-time delivery. Provide a tight feedback loop to our product and engineering teams - identifying gaps, building custom tooling, and influencing the roadmap through real-world deployment learnings. * Partner Cross-Functionally: Collaborate with PMs to define agent goals, iterate rapidly based on customer feedback, and shape product capabilities that maximize customer ROI. * Technical Guidance: Serve as a trusted technical advisor for the customer, guiding best practices for AI agent adoption and usage. Provide technical guidance on AI agent best practices, including architecture design, security considerations, and scalability planning. ## Related Videos - [On a Secret Mission: Developing AI Agents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1510-on-a-secret-mission-developing-ai-agents) - [Go with the Flow: Stop the Leaks Before Your Memory's a Waterfall!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100073-go-with-the-flow-stop-the-leaks-before-your-memory-s-a-waterfall) - [Beyond Webhooks: The Future of Scalable API Event Delivery](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100312-beyond-webhooks-the-future-of-scalable-api-event-delivery) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [#90DaysOfDevOps - The DevOps Learning Journey](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/548-90daysofdevops-the-devops-learning-journey) - [Designing and Deploying Distributed Multimodal Multi-Agent Systems with Google's AI Stac](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1976-designing-and-deploying-distributed-multimodal-multi-agent-systems-with-google-s-ai-stac) ## Related Articles - [From Prototype to Production: Build AI Agents with This Free 4-Course Learning Path](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/655-from-prototype-to-production-build-ai-agents-with-this-free-4-course-learning-path) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [The Biggest German Tech Companies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/424-the-biggest-german-tech-companies) - [What is Agentic Programming and Why Should Developers Care?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/625-what-is-agentic-programming-and-why-should-developers-care) - [Dev Digest 132 - Binging WADFlix?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/473-dev-digest-132-binging-wadflix)
