Developer Education Lead

Anthropic•San Francisco, CA

7h•$290,000 - $365,000•Hybrid

About The Position

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. Why this role matters AI capabilities are advancing faster than developers can keep up. The gap between what Claude can do and what developers know how to build with it is widening with every model release, every new API feature, and every capability unlock. Closing that gap isn’t just a content problem—it’s a strategic imperative that directly affects how this technology gets adopted, integrated, and ultimately trusted in production systems around the world. Anthropic’s Ministry of Education exists to help people and organizations develop genuine fluency with AI—not just product training, but the kind of understanding that compounds over time and transfers as capabilities advance. This role owns the developer side of that mission: creating and managing the roadmap for all developer-facing education content and distribution. The role As developer education lead, you’ll own the end-to-end strategy, roadmap, and execution for how developers learn to build with Claude. This is not a traditional content role. You’ll sit at the intersection of DevRel, product, and education—deeply embedded in product launches, working cross-functionally with engineering, developer relations, GTM, and the broader education team to ensure every major capability ships with the educational content developers need to adopt it. You’ll build and own a content pipeline that moves from idea to validation to production to launch—replacing ad-hoc, vibes-based prioritization with a system that’s rigorous about what gets made and why. Your scope spans video content, written tutorials, API courses, cookbooks, and whatever formats emerge as Claude’s capabilities evolve. You’ll work closely with our DevRel team, video producers, and technical writers to create content that helps developers go from “I’ve heard of Claude” to “I’m building production systems with it.”

Requirements

You have 5+ years in developer content strategy, developer education, DevRel, or technical content leadership—ideally at a developer tools or platform company
You’ve owned a content roadmap end-to-end and can point to systems you built for prioritizing, producing, and measuring technical content at scale
You’re deeply cross-functional—comfortable working across engineering, product, marketing, and community teams and translating between their priorities
You understand developers as an audience: what earns their trust, what makes them click away, and the difference between content that gets shared and content that gets ignored
You’re a strong writer and editor who can translate complex technical concepts without dumbing them down
You use AI tools (ideally Claude) extensively in your own work—not as a novelty, but as core infrastructure for how you think, write, and ship
You’re comfortable building processes from scratch in fast-moving, ambiguous environments where the product itself is changing rapidly
You have a strong perspective on how developer education needs to evolve as AI capabilities advance toward AGI

Nice To Haves

Experience managing video content programs (YouTube channels, course platforms, tutorial series)
Background in API documentation, developer experience, or technical writing
Familiarity with AI/ML concepts and the developer tooling landscape
Experience with developer education platforms (Skilljar, Coursera, or similar)
Prior experience at a high-growth technology company navigating rapid product evolution

Responsibilities

Own the developer education content roadmap—prioritizing what gets built, when, and for whom across video, written, and course formats
Partner deeply with product and engineering teams on launches—ensuring every major feature, API update, and capability unlock ships with developer education content + documentation
Collaborate with DevRel to align on YouTube strategy, community content, and developer community programs (e.g., ambassador programs, public certifications)
Manage and coordinate with video producers, technical writers, and contractors to execute against the roadmap
Conduct ongoing content audits—identifying what to update, remove, and add as Claude’s capabilities evolve (e.g., new API features, deprecations, agentic capabilities)
Define and track content performance metrics that go beyond vanity metrics—measuring actual developer adoption, activation, and fluency gains
Work with cross-functional teams in MoE, marketing and product to ensure education reaches developer audiences when and where they need it and has sufficient parity with offerings across non-technical audiences
