Anthropic
Product Designer, Claude Code
Role at
Anthropic .
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 In the Product Designer, Claude Code role, you’ll:
Design for agentic workflows across surfaces. Own the experience of Claude Code across terminal, IDE extensions, web, and Slack. Design how Claude communicates progress, requests permissions, handles failures, and coordinates multi‑step autonomous work.
Invent new interaction patterns. Claude Code is intentionally low‑level and unopinionated—a power tool for sophisticated users. Design conventions that respect developer expertise while making complex agentic behaviors feel intuitive and trustworthy.
Prototype in code. This is a developer tool. You’ll work directly with terminal interfaces, understand CLI constraints, and build functional prototypes. The best ideas will come from hands‑on exploration, not just mockups.
Ship fast and iterate. Claude Code moves quickly—new capabilities ship constantly as models improve. You’ll need to design, test, and refine in tight cycles, often on critical‑path work for major launches.
Work fluidly across the team. Partner with engineering, research, and product without needing clear handoffs or defined lanes. Jump into problems wherever you’re useful—whether that’s pairing with an engineer on implementation details, exploring a new model capability with a researcher, or pressure‑testing an idea with users directly.
Raise the bar on craft. Obsess over the details that make power tools feel right: information density, speed, keyboard‑first interaction, clear feedback loops, minimal friction.
Why This Role Matters Claude Code started as a research project and became one of Anthropic’s most successful products, generating over $1B in annualized revenue within six months of launch. It redefined how developers work, and we’re just getting started. This is genuinely new territory. We’re designing the future of coding—Claude working autonomously on tasks, making decisions, asking for input when needed, and coordinating with humans throughout. The interaction patterns for this don’t exist yet. We need to invent them.
The product is expanding fast: from terminal to VS Code and JetBrains IDEs, to web, to Slack. Each surface brings new design challenges. And the underlying models keep getting more capable, which means the design problems keep evolving. We need designers who can move as fast as the technology—people who are excited by the ambiguity, not frustrated by it.
You Might Be a Great Fit If
You live at the intersection of code and design. You genuinely enjoy developer tools and tinker with new things for fun. This role will shape how developers experience agentic coding—not just at Anthropic, but across the industry.
You’re a tinkerer and explorer. You try new tools before anyone asks you to. You have opinions about terminal emulators and keyboard shortcuts. You’re energized by where AI is headed—and want to be part of figuring out what comes next.
Bonus Points
Experience designing for command‑line interfaces, IDEs or other dev tools
Contributions to open source projects or developer tools
Understanding of how LLMs work and their current capabilities/limitations
A GitHub profile, personal site, or side projects that show what you build when no one’s asking
Compensation Annual Salary: $260,000—$305,000 USD. Total compensation includes equity, benefits, and may include incentive compensation.
Logistics Education requirements: At least a Bachelor’s degree in a related field or equivalent experience.
Location‑based hybrid policy: We expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time, though some roles may require more on‑site presence.
Visa sponsorship: We sponsor visas and will make all reasonable efforts to obtain one if an offer is made.
Recruitment Philosophy We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. We believe representation matters and value diverse perspectives on our team.
