Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.

Design at Anthropic sits at the intersection of craft, research, and product intuition on interactions that do not have established conventions yet.
The role involves shaping how people experience AI by partnering closely with engineers and researchers to prototype rapidly and handle ambiguity.

Collaborate with product managers, engineers, AI researchers and other stakeholders to define product vision, strategy and roadmaps, and play an active role in shipping.
Understand the technical architecture of our products and define primitives for new capabilities.
Define feature areas with exceptional attention to detail and polish, identifying opportunities to improve quality and consistency of broader flows.
Craft beautiful, polished, and delightful user interfaces that build trust and showcase the power of our AI technology.
Comfortable in code, design, prototypes, and learning new ways to communicate ideas and concepts.
Find creative ways to ship high-quality work in a fast-paced, often ambiguous, resource-constrained startup environment.

Experience designing and shipping complex workflows, enterprise/B2B SaaS, developer tools, or API products end-to-end.
Proven track record of executing end-to-end on large and complex products, or a series of products, in ambiguous environments.
A portfolio demonstrating user-centered design thinking and polished UI craftsmanship.
Proficiency with modern design and prototyping tools, such as Figma.
Experience using AI tools such as Claude Code as a creative partner in your own design practice.
Excellent collaboration and communication skills to work effectively with cross-functional teams and influence without authority.
Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience.
A field of study relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience.
