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

Anthropic is seeking an engineering leader to lead the teams responsible for building all consumer-facing Claude experiences—including web, mobile, desktop, and browser extensions. In this role, you'll shape how millions of users interact with Claude daily, driving the technical vision and execution for interfaces that are intuitive, responsive, and push the boundaries of what AI-powered applications can be.

This is a highly technical leadership role. While you'll be responsible for building and guiding engineering teams, you'll remain deeply hands-on— steering architectural decisions and staying close to the work. You'll partner closely with Product, Design, Research, and Go-to-Market teams to not only build what's on the roadmap, but to anticipate where the product needs to go next. We're looking for someone who can see around corners and help us skate to where the puck is going.

We're building at an extraordinary pace in a rapidly evolving space. You should thrive in environments where priorities shift quickly, where you're expected to ship fast without sacrificing quality, and where the problems you're solving don't have established playbooks.

Responsibilities:

Lead and grow the UI engineering teams responsible for Claude's consumer products across web, mobile (iOS/Android), desktop, and browser extensions
Define the technical vision and architecture for our frontend systems, ensuring they scale with our rapidly growing user base
Stay deeply technical—participate in design reviews and architectural decisions while maintaining a broad view of the product
Partner closely with Product and Design to shape product direction, bringing an informed point of view on what we should build and how users will experience it
Drive engineering excellence through best practices in performance, accessibility, and cross-platform consistency
Build and mentor a world-class team of frontend engineers, creating an environment where people do the best work of their careers
Collaborate across functions—including Research, Trust & Safety, and Go-to-Market—to ensure our products meet the needs of users and the business
Navigate ambiguity and make sound decisions quickly in a fast-moving environment

You may be a good fit if you:

Have 10+ years of experience building consumer-facing web and mobile applications at scale, with several years in engineering leadership roles
Have led teams that shipped products used by millions of users, with a track record of delivering high-quality, responsive, and accessible interfaces
Remain deeply technical despite your leadership responsibilities—you can dive into the code, debug complex issues, and make informed architectural tradeoffs
Have strong opinions on product and design, developed through years of building consumer experiences, and can advocate effectively for the user
Excel at cross-functional partnership and can build trust quickly with Product, Design, Research, and other stakeholders
Thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and can balance speed with quality
Are excited by the challenge of building interfaces for AI-powered products, where the interaction paradigms are still being invented
Care deeply about craft—you notice the details that make an experience feel polished and intuitive

Strong candidates may also have:

Experience building products across multiple platforms (web, iOS, Android, desktop, browser extensions) and understanding the unique constraints of each
Background in building real-time, interactive applications where latency and performance are critical
Experience with modern frontend frameworks and architectures (React, React Native, TypeScript, etc.)
Familiarity with AI/ML-powered products and the unique UX challenges they present
A track record of building and scaling engineering teams through periods of rapid growth
Experience establishing frontend platform capabilities that enable faster iteration across multiple product surfaces

Deadline to apply

None. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.

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:

$405,000—$485,000 USD

Logistics

Education requirements: We require at least a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience.

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.
