Senior Product Designer, Core Platform

Cresta is on a mission to turn every customer conversation into a competitive advantage by unlocking the true potential of the contact center. Our platform combines the best of AI and human intelligence to help contact centers discover customer insights and behavioral best practices, automate conversations and inefficient processes, and empower every team member to work smarter and faster. Born from the prestigious Stanford AI lab, Cresta's co-founder and chairman is Sebastian Thrun, the genius behind Google X, Waymo, Udacity, and more. Our leadership also includes CEO, Ping Wu, the co-founder of Google Contact Center AI and Vertex AI platform, and co-founder, Tim Shi, an early member of Open AI.

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.

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.
