Full Stack Engineer, Education Labs

The shape of it

In the posting’s own words

This is a new kind of role: part researcher, part product builder, part interaction designer. You'll be the second technical builder on a small team studying how AI transforms human capability—and shipping features based on what we discover. You'll have significant creative license to define what "good" looks like, exploring new interaction patterns rather than optimizing existing ones.

What it asks for · 10

• Track record of independently driving features from prototype to production
• Ability to rapidly prototype, test with users, and iterate toward production
• Ability to build productive relationships with Product, Design, Research, and Engineering teams—especially when your team isn't the owner
• Track record of influencing roadmaps and decisions beyond your immediate team
• Experience in developer tools, creative tools, learning platforms, or other products where user skill development and mastery matter more than time-on-site
• Experience with experimentation frameworks, A/B testing, or analytics that measure capability development in production
• Previous experience in research labs, frontier tech companies, or startups with high autonomy and ambiguity
• Experience building AI-native product experiences or working with LLMs in production contexts
• Experience in developer tools, creative tools, or learning platforms where mastery matters more than engagement
• Experience building AI-native product experiences or working with LLMs in production

Also a plus

• Experience in developer tools, creative tools, learning platforms, or other products where user skill development and mastery matter more than time-on-site
• Background in learning sciences, cognitive science, HCI, skill acquisition research, or educational psychology (formal or self-directed)
• Experience with experimentation frameworks, A/B testing, or analytics that measure capability development in production
• Previous experience in research labs, frontier tech companies, or startups with high autonomy and ambiguity
• Published writing, talks, or open-source work on skill development, human-AI interaction, or product philosophy
• Experience building AI-native product experiences or working with LLMs in production contexts
• Background in learning sciences, cognitive science, HCI, or educational psychology
• Experience in developer tools, creative tools, or learning platforms where mastery matters more than engagement

What the job covers

• Ship features that help users develop real skill with AI—measuring success by capability growth, not time-on-site
• Architect end-to-end prototypes (front-end and back-end) that test new interaction paradigms, with particular attention to the front-of-the-frontend: motion, polish, and interaction feel
• Define technical direction for the team—establish patterns others can follow
• Build relationships across Product, Design, and Research to influence how skill development principles shape Anthropic's broader product strategy
• Shape team strategy and roadmap—identify the highest-leverage opportunities and build conviction across stakeholders
• Translate research insights about skill development and human-AI collaboration into shipped product through close collaboration with researchers
• Document and share your work through clear writing, prototypes, and presentations that influence thinking across the organization
