What's the point of the platform?

to provide a flat, level landing on the sloped slab. It will be
safer than having a "odd" riser. As the saying goes "the feet
remember" - a step which is off is a tripping hazard.

You could replace the slab, or put in a concrete landing so that
people will not be stepping down a different distance depending on
which side of the stairs they come down.

An tapered edge there instead of a square corner would also help as
would a hazard indicator like a colored section to highlight the
discontinuity.

Sounds as though the slab should have been poured initially with two
grades; if were new construction I'd at least consider to go back to the
builder for redress...

Trying to minimize the tread height difference from one side to another
is better than nothing, certainly.
