Cresta’s AI Receptionist answers the phone for small businesses that would otherwise miss the call. It handles millions of conversations a month today, making sure no call goes unanswered and helping owners complete the front-office tasks that keep their business running, and it does so across hundreds of customers. Whether those conversations are actually good is the single most important question in the business, and it deserves a full-time owner. That’s you.

 

As our first AI Agent Evaluation Engineer, you define what quality means for every agent we run, you build the systems that measure it across every conversation, and you are the person the company trusts when the question is “how good is it, really?”

 

The work combines hands-on conversation analysis, rigorous evaluation design, and engineering execution: reading and annotating real conversations to learn how the agent actually fails, building the automated evaluation systems (LLM-based judges, golden sets, regression suites) that measure those failures at scale, and keeping those systems honest by calibrating them against human judgment. Fixing what you find is welcome but not the core of the job; an accurate, prioritized picture of agent quality is.
