Senior Product Designer, Core Platform

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 languages
• Roles and permissions / IAM
• Organizational and user management
• Accessibility / WCAG
• Data and metadata management
• Integration experience with 3rd-party data platforms
• Login flows and onboarding experience
• Notifications and alerts
• Privacy and PII redaction experiences
• SDK 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.

• Education in Design, HCI, or Interaction Design, or 5+ years of equivalent industry experience.
• Experience designing large-scale B2B/enterprise platforms, data-rich experiences, or dev/ops tools.
• AI-native working style: comfortable using Claude Code, Cursor, MCP, or similar tools to move faster, prototype deeper, and push beyond what traditional design tooling (Figma) allows.
• Portfolio showcasing systems thinking and end‑to‑end flows rather than isolated screens, and simple, elegant design solutions to complex problems.
• Strong systems thinking and technical fluency, with a blend of UX disciplines (interaction design, prototyping, visual design, and user research).
• Curious, adaptable, and a quick learner who thrives in a collaborative, team-oriented environment.

Perks & Benefits:

• 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 
• PTO: 28 days in Germany

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. Your recruiter can provide further details.
