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.
