Product Designer, Core Apps
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.

Key responsibilities
Collaborate with product managers, engineers, AI researchers and other stakeholders to define product vision, strategy and roadmaps, and play an active role in shipping.
Understand the technical architecture of our products and define primitives for new capabilities.
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
Experience designing and shipping complex workflows, enterprise/B2B SaaS, developer tools, or API products end-to-end
Proven track record of executing end-to-end on large and complex products, or a series of products, in ambiguous environments
A portfolio demonstrating user-centered design thinking and polished UI craftsmanship
Proficiency with modern design and prototyping tools, such as Figma
Experience using AI tools such as Claude Code as a creative partner in your own design practice
Preferred qualifications
Experience prototyping with front-end code (e.g., HTML/CSS/JS)
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
Representative projects
Specific projects and responsibilities depend on team staffing, which we'll discuss once we've seen more of your work and understood your strengths and interests. A few examples across teams:
Core Apps: Pioneer new ways for Claude to be a true partner in people's day to day lives. Build industry-leading tools for coding, work, design and more, shaping the way people leverage AI at work in transformative ways.
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.
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.
