Product Designer

Anthropic•Seattle, WA

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. About the design team Design at Anthropic sits at the intersection of craft, research, and product intuition. We're a small team working on products that millions of people use daily—and on interactions that don't have established conventions yet. Our work shapes how people experience AI: whether Claude feels like a tool or a collaborator, whether it earns trust or erodes it. We partner closely with engineers and researchers, often designing around capabilities that are emerging in real-time. That means staying close to the models, prototyping rapidly, and being comfortable with ambiguity. We care deeply about craft—the details that make something feel polished and trustworthy—but we ship fast and learn in the open. We'd rather get something in front of users and iterate than wait for perfection. Read more here for the type of features we build.

Requirements

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 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.
8+ years of product design experience (experience designing complex workflows, enterprise/B2B SaaS, developer tools, or API products preferred)
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

Nice To Haves

Experience with prototyping, especially using front-end code (e.g. HTML/CSS/JS) preferred

Specific projects & responsibilities depend on the team staffing, which we’ll talk about once we’ve seen some more of your work and understood your strengths & interests. A few examples across teams: Claude Cowork: Pioneer new ways for Claude to be a true partner in people’s day to day lives that can access your tools, ask for feedback, help you prep for your day, and more; Build expertise in industries like education, financial services, and healthcare to design intuitive experiences that help people leverage AI at work in transformative ways. Claude Code: Evolve our industry-leading coding tool, across terminal and Desktop, to deepen the breadth and depth of agentic coding. Growth: Design intuitive onboarding flows that help new users get started quickly, understand Claude's capabilities, and achieve their goals in the first session; Uncover barriers that prevent users from getting the most out of Claude and create experiences that empower them to make it a trusted part of their routine. Developer Platform: Support frontier capabilities and API features via tooling, workflows, and documentation; Define the future suite of utilities for developers to confidently build, monitor and control agentic systems. Consumer: Evolve the Claude mobile app, with a focus on being genuinely helpful for people’s everyday lives: learning, creative projects, personal planning and problem-solving — with an emphasis on quality & safety.
