In the posting’s own words

Design at Anthropic sits at the intersection of craft, research, and product intuition. Design systems is a growing team working on products that millions of people use daily, and on interactions that don't have established conventions yet.

What it asks for · 4

  • Strong visual and interaction craft.
  • Experience building or working on a design system.
  • Experience with design tokens, theming and accessibility standards.
  • Fluency in whichever tool gets an idea across fastest, from Figma to code.

Also a plus

  • Experience building products at the highest level of craft.
  • Has shipped voice or other beyond-the-screen work, with native mobile instincts.
  • Has designed an icon set, illustration style or motion system used across products.
  • Experience defining evals, lint rules or automated checks for UI quality.
  • 8+ years of product design experience.

What the job covers

  • Design and evolve the system, from foundations (colour, type, spacing, icons, tokens, theming) to components like menus, dialogs, sidebars and the chat composer.
  • Design the expressive layer as a system, not one-offs: motion, illustration and icons that are brand and system at once.
  • Make the system legible to Claude as well as people: the guidance, metadata and evals that show whether Claude uses it correctly.
  • Partner with product teams: help designers and engineers apply the system well, and feed recurring gaps back into the system.
  • Prototype in code and ship: land changes in the design-system package alongside engineers, using Claude Code in your own practice.
