Full Job Description
About the role

Anthropic is looking for product engineers to build internal products. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, product, and design-you'll own outcomes, not just tasks. You'll work directly with users to understand their needs, identify the patterns behind their requests, and build the right abstractions that unlock capabilities for everyone.
What you'll do:
  • Rapidly design, prototype, and ship full-stack features across backend, frontend, and infrastructure
  • Consult with users and stakeholders to understand workflows and identify the highest-impact opportunities
  • Spot patterns across user requests and reduce them into primitives, platforms, or middleware that support a variety of use cases-not just one-off features
  • Build tools that maximize autonomy and creative freedom for less-technical users
  • Make product and prioritization decisions, not just execute on specs handed to you
  • Iterate quickly based on feedback to continuously improve the user experience
  • Pick up new tools, frameworks, and domains as the product evolves
You may be a good fit if you:
  • Have 6+ years of experience building production software, ideally full-stack
  • Can operate as a team of one when needed-you're independently capable of taking a product from idea to shipped, even if you won't always work that way
  • Think in systems and abstractions-you see the platform behind the feature request
  • Care about empowering users, not just building for them
  • Own outcomes, not just code-you care whether the thing you built actually solved the problem
  • Are comfortable making decisions with incomplete information and operating with ambiguity
  • Hold yourself to a high bar without needing external pressure
Strong candidates will have:
  • Proficiency across the stack (we use Python, TypeScript, React)
  • Experience building platforms, primitives, or internal tools that others build on top of
  • A track record of shipping products independently-not just contributing to larger efforts

Deadline to apply: None. Applications will be received 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:

$320,000-$405,000 USD

Logistics

Minimum education: Bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience

Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience

Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position

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 [redacted].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.
