Product Designer, People Products

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

The People Products team exists to support Anthropic’s mission by defining the blueprint for AI at work. We help hire the best person in the world for every job, ensure manager effectiveness, ramp new hires successfully, and ensure that we apply first principles thinking in how we shape Anthropic’s culture through the tools we build. We cover the entire employee lifecycle from hiring to onboarding, teamwork, and promotions. 

You’ll work directly with Claude on problems that are genuinely unsolved. You’ll move fast — prototype to production in days or weeks. We believe in cross-functional thinkers who can reason across product, design, and engineering. You’ll be given high autonomy, own your decisions, and ship constantly. If you’ve experienced the pain of bad people practices and want to be the person who fixes them at the most consequential AI company in the world, this is that job.

Key responsibilities

Design AI-native workflows across the People Products portfolio defining what is possible in applied AI for people processes

Contribute to the strategic direction of our internal 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, and internal stakeholders — HR teams, recruiters, managers — 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

Minimum qualifications

Experience designing complex workflows, enterprise/B2B SaaS, or people products

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

Preferred qualifications

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, Claude Design, 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.

The annual compensation range for this role is listed below. 

For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role.

Annual Salary: $260,000 — $385,000 USD

Logistics

Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience

Required field of study:  A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience

Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position

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.

Your safety matters to us. To protect yourself from potential scams, remember that Anthropic recruiters only contact you from @anthropic.com email addresses. In some cases, we may partner with vetted recruiting agencies who will identify themselves as working on behalf of Anthropic. Be cautious of emails from other domains. Legitimate Anthropic recruiters will never ask for money, fees, or banking information before your first day. If you're ever unsure about a communication, don't click any links—visit  anthropic.com/careers  directly for confirmed position openings.

How we're different

We 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.
