Product Designer, Safeguards

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'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. 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
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills to work effectively with cross-functional teams and influence without authority

Preferred qualifications

• Experience prototyping with front-end code (e.g., HTML/CSS/JS)
• Passion for crafting scaled, highly impactful, safe and beneficial artificial intelligence technologies to enable new possibilities
