About This Role

The Platform Product Designer is responsible for the horizontal frameworks and shared capabilities that every Cresta product is built on top of — from AI Agent and Agentic Assist to QM/Coaching and Insights.

You design platforms, not point solutions. You think horizontally and systematically. You make sure cross‑cutting concerns are solved once as a reliable, extensible platform, then reused across products and customers — rather than being rebuilt product‑by‑product. Your work makes these capabilities self‑serve and customizable for both internal squads and external customers/partners.

Note this is not a Design Systems-only role. Example workstreams include but are not limited to:

Frontend platform (building blocks of libraries and UI frameworks)Internationalization and languagesRoles and permissions / IAMOrganizational and user managementAccessibility / WCAGData and metadata managementIntegration experience with 3rd-party data platformsLogin flows and onboarding experienceNotifications and alertsPrivacy and PII redaction experiencesSDK and dev tools

Responsibilities

You'll design frameworks instead of point solutions, and the frameworks you design should be scalable, self-servable, and customizable for both business users and developers.You'll understand how data, permissions, and services flow across products, and reflect that in clear mental models in design.You'll partner with Platform PM and Platform tech leads to help shape the strategy of the platform.You'll vibe code/vibe design in Cursor or Claude for proof-of-concept, then apply rigor and thoughtfulness to make it an enterprise-ready experience.You'll advocate for craft - raise the quality bar and help the team develop a shared eye for what great looks like.You'll drive cross-squad alignment by understanding their needs, and secure buy-in and drive adoption from stakeholders.You'll have good judgment about when to ship: perfect is the enemy of good.
