Product Designer, Design Systems

About the role

Design at Anthropic sits at the intersection of craft, research, and product intuition. You will join the Design Systems team, working on products used daily by millions, and on interactions without established conventions.

Your work will shape how people experience AI, partnering closely with engineers and researchers, designing around emerging capabilities, and staying close to the models.

Key responsibilities

• 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: motion, illustration, and icons that are brand and system at once.
• Make the system legible to Claude as well as people: 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.

Minimum qualifications

• 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.

Preferred qualifications

• 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.

The annual compensation range for this role is $305,000-$385,000 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: Correlate with internal job level requirements.
• Location-based hybrid policy: 25% office time expected.
• Visa sponsorship: Available, with efforts to secure visas for successful candidates.
