About The Position

The People Products team at Anthropic is dedicated to defining the future of AI in the workplace. This role focuses on supporting Anthropic's mission by creating AI-driven solutions for various aspects of the employee lifecycle, including hiring, manager effectiveness, new hire onboarding, and shaping company culture through internal tools.

This is an opportunity to fix pain points in people practices at a leading AI company.

Requirements

Experience designing complex workflows, enterprise/B2B SaaS, or people products.
Strong portfolio showcasing user-centric design thinking, polished UI craftsmanship, and innovative interaction paradigms.
Proven track record of executing end-to-end on large and complex products or a series of products in ambiguous environments.
Excellent collaboration and communication skills to work effectively with cross-functional teams and influence without authority.
Passion for crafting scaled, highly impactful, safe and beneficial artificial intelligence technologies to enable new possibilities.
Experience with prototyping, especially using front-end code (e.g. HTML/CSS/JS) preferred.

Nice To Haves

You ship fast and stay in motion. You'd rather get something in front of users this week than perfect it for a month.
You prototype in code, stay scrappy when speed matters, and know when to polish versus when to learn.
You're rethinking the basics. Many UI primitives were designed for a different era. You're excited to question fundamental assumptions and invent patterns that feel native to AI.
You're AI-native in how you work. You're already using Claude Code, Claude Design, or similar tools to extend what you can build. You see AI as a creative partner in your own practice.
You stay close to the models. You pay attention to where capabilities are heading, not just what Claude can do today. You design for the product we're becoming.
You elevate craft while moving fast. You care about the details—the pixels, the copy, the edge cases—and find ways to maintain that care while shipping quickly.

Responsibilities

Design AI-native workflows across the People Products portfolio, defining what is possible in applied AI for people processes.
Contribute to the strategic direction of internal tools, rooted in deep user empathy.

Craft beautiful, polished, and delightful user interfaces that build trust and showcase the power of our AI technology.
Collaborate with product managers, engineers, and internal stakeholders (HR teams, recruiters, managers) to define product vision, strategy, and roadmaps.
Rapidly prototype ideas using code and other methods to communicate concepts and build excitement.
Find creative ways to ship high-quality work in a fast-paced, often ambiguous, resource-constrained startup environment.
