Product Designer, Core Apps

About this role

About Anthropic

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 role

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.

We're looking for designers who ship fast and stay in motion—people who would rather get something in front of users this week than perfect it for a month, and then spend then next months perfecting it. You're excited to question fundamental UI assumptions and invent patterns that feel native to AI, and you're already using tools like Claude Code to extend what you can build. You pay attention to where model capabilities are heading, not just what Claude can do today, and you find ways to keep caring about the pixels, the copy, and the edge cases while shipping quickly.

• 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

Minimum qualifications

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.

• Enterprise & Verticals: Shape how teams work with and bring Claude to their entire workforce. You'll turn the messy reality of knowledge work (research, analysis, writing, decisions across a dozen tools) into experiences where Claude is a true collaborator, backed by the admin and governance controls that let an org to use AI to the fullest.
