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.
As a designer at Anthropic, you’ll work alongside product managers, engineers, and AI researchers to shape experiences that transform Claude from a tool into a trusted collaborator:
- We design products that solve real problems by combining deep understanding of user needs with our unique perspective on LLMs
- Design plays a critical role in building transformative AI systems that feel reliable, interpretable, and trustworthy
- Designers give shape to our vision for tremendous human progress through AI. We leverage unique skills like storytelling and prototyping to communicate ideas and their feasibility
- We execute on interaction and visual details with a high degree of polish, focusing on shipping, learning, and continuous improvement

Responsibilities:- Contribute to the strategic direction of our tools, rooted in deep user empathy
- 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
- Collaborate with product managers, engineers, AI researchers and other stakeholders 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
Example scope:
- Make building and maintaining high-quality applications with the Anthropic API frictionless.
- Support frontier capabilities and API features via tooling, workflows, and documentation.
- Design best-in-class admin experiences for API utilities like billing, usage, and access management.
- Define the future suite of utilities for developers to confidently build, monitor and control agentic systems.
- 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
- Experience with prototyping, especially using front-end code (e.g. HTML/CSS/JS) preferred
- Ship opinionated products and make things customers want
- Model a builder mindset to explore and communicate through prototyping and design
- Build trust with users through craft and connection
- Be proactive and make things happen in a startup environment
- Have a technical understanding of LLMs and can build on top of them
- Design new, functional and easy to use interaction design conventions that are on the frontier
The expected salary range for this position is:
Education requirements: We require at least a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience.
Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.
Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.
We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.
How we're differentWe believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.
The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
Come work with us!Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
