Product Designer, Claude Code at Anthropic — task breakdown

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 design team 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. Read more here for the type of features we build. 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 Specific projects & responsibilities depend on the team staffing, which we’ll talk about once we’ve seen some more of your work and understood your strengths & interests. A few examples across teams: Claude Cowork: Pioneer new ways for Claude to be a true partner in people’s day to day lives that can access your tools, ask for feedback, help you prep for your day, and more; Build expertise in industries like education, financial services, and healthcare to design intuitive experiences that help people leverage AI at work in transformative ways. Claude Code: Evolve our industry-leading coding tool, across terminal and Desktop, to deepen the breadth and depth of agentic coding. 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. Consumer: Evolve the Claude mobile app, with a focus on being genuinely helpful for people’s everyday lives: learning, creative projects, personal planning and problem-solving — with an emphasis on quality & safety. What we’re looking for: 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 matt
