About the role:

Are you ready to redefine real-time communication with cutting-edge AI? At Cresta, we're revolutionizing cross-language interactions through our groundbreaking voice platform. Following a successful Hackathon demo, we're seeking a **technically fearless Senior Full Stack Engineer** to lead the charge in transforming our real-time speech translation prototype into a scalable, production-ready solution. This role demands ownership of the entire lifecycle—from 0 to 1 to 100—as we build a platform that integrates macOS/Windows apps, server-side infrastructure, and seamless UI/UX for bi-directional translation.
 
This isn't just another engineering role. This *greenfield project* is your chance to build something from the ground up. You'll have the autonomy to shape not just the technical direction but also influence the business and marketing strategy. Your passion, creativity, and drive will determine the upper limit of this project's future. If you're tired of being a cog in a big tech machine with limited scope, this is your chance to step into a role with huge impact and even bigger rewards.
 
Together with team, you'll tackle: 
  • Cross-platform client app: Develop robust Windows/macOS applications, including custom virtual audio drivers.
  • Server-side orchestration: Architect a low-latency endpoint to process agent audio through STT, translation, and TTS pipelines.
  • Real-time UI/UX: Design intuitive interfaces for transcription, translation visibility, and integration with Cresta's existing products.
  • Translation quality: Pioneer methods to evaluate and improve translation accuracy in dynamic environments.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead end-to-end development of Cresta's real-time translation platform, spanning client apps (Windows/macOS), server infrastructure, and user-facing features.
  • Build custom virtual audio drivers to replace third-party tools. - Design and optimize server endpoints for real-time audio processing (STT → translation → TTS).
  • Collaborate with AI/ML teams to integrate translation services and evaluate quality metrics.
  • Create bi-directional translation UX flows, ensuring seamless integration with Cresta's agent assist tools and analytics platforms. - Solve latency challenges to enable near-instantaneous voice translation.
  • Drive cross-platform compatibility, including Windows Audio Session APIs and macOS Core Audio.
  • Own deployment, monitoring, and scaling via Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure.

This is a rare opportunity to own a moonshot project from prototype to global impact, solving challenges like ultra-low-latency audio streaming, cross-OS compatibility, and seamless AI/UI synergy.

Qualifications We Value:

  • 3+ years as a **full-stack engineer** with **production-grade desktop app experience** (Windows/macOS). 
  • Mastery of **real-time systems**: WebSockets, gRPC, audio/video streaming, and low-latency optimization.
  • Proven experience with **audio processing** (e.g., virtual drivers, ASIO, Core Audio).
  • Server-side expertise in Go/Python/Node.js/Java/C++, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and database optimization.
  • UI/UX fluency: Electron, React, or native frameworks for desktop apps; ability to prototype user-centric features.
  • Fearless problem-solving: Comfortable navigating unknowns (e.g., custom audio drivers). 
  • Ownership mindset: You thrive when leading ambiguous, high-stakes initiatives to built "from scratch" (0→1→scale).
  • Bonus: Experience with speech technologies (STT/TTS), translation services, or real-time collaboration tools.
Perks & Benefits:
  • We offer Cresta employees a variety of medical, dental, and vision plans, designed to fit you and your family’s needs
  • Paid parental leave to support you and your family
  • Monthly Health & Wellness allowance
  • Work from home office stipend to help you succeed in a remote environment
  • Lunch reimbursement for in-office employees 
  • Collaborate with AI pioneers (ex-google, OpenAI, Stanford) 

Compensation for this position includes a base salary, equity, and a variety of benefits. Actual base salaries will be based on candidate-specific factors, including experience, skillset, and location, and local minimum pay requirements as applicable. We are actively hiring for this role in Canada. Your recruiter can provide further details.

We have noticed a rise in recruiting impersonations across the industry, where scammers attempt to access candidates' personal and financial information through fake interviews and offers. All Cresta recruiting email communications will always come from the @cresta.ai domain. Any outreach claiming to be from Cresta via other sources should be ignored.  If you are uncertain whether you have been contacted by an official Cresta employee, reach out to recruiting@cresta.ai

I've been using this job search site for a while now, and it’s honestly one of the best out there! The clean and easy-to-navigate UI makes the whole job-hunting process so much smoother.

As a student navigating the job market, I've found LinkedIn increasingly frustrating due to numerous fake postings by consultancies. In contrast, this job posting website has been a game-changer for me. It offers genuine opportunities and a straightforward application process, making it much easier to find and apply for real jobs. Highly recommend it to fellow students seeking reliable job listings!

Echo Jobs has been exceptional in my job hunt where it provides one platform to job hunt and I don't have to open 10 websites just to look for a job. It has also helped me focus much on the job skill and the location filtering out the onsite jobs and remote ones. The only feature that I would request is to display fully remote jobs that are not restricted to a country since the one available shows ie, Remote, US yet. But if it could show remote only, that would be helpful not only to me but to other people applying for full remote and not tied to only US candidates

I found EchoJobs in 2022, and I love it. It has a lot of remote jobs. It's exclusive to software and technology jobs (helpful for devs like me). What I like the most are its filters and its API. If you're a tech professional seeking remote work, I highly recommend giving it a try to EchoJobs.

Simply put, it's the most up to date tech jobs aggregator I’ve found. I'm like... "I don't have to check 10+ jobs boards daily just to see if there's a new job listing? sign me up!" The filters are also quite helpful! The UI is very clean and straightforward. Love it!
