## Description

## About the role

We're a small team at Anthropic building brand new consumer AI products. Our goal is to put the full power of frontier Claude models in people's hands, in products that don't exist yet.

You'd be a founding engineer, owning products end to end. You won't be handed a spec; you'll come up with the idea, shape it into a minimal viable product, and ship it. Most new products don't work as expected, so you'll keep iterating until you succeed.

Claude is one of the most-used AI products globally. What we build affects how millions of people use AI daily. The pace is fast, and the products are new. If you enjoy building consumer products from scratch and care about details, we'd like to hear from you.

## Key responsibilities

- Create new consumer AI product ideas and own them from concept to launch

- Identify gaps between Claude's capabilities and user experiences, and propose solutions

- Develop minimal viable products from vague concepts

- Set technical direction for your products

- Ensure high-quality user experiences, focusing on latency, responsiveness, and reliability

- Collaborate with various teams and external partners to launch products

- Iterate quickly based on user feedback and testing

- Continuously push new products forward, as initial attempts often fail

## Minimum qualifications

- Experience building consumer-facing products with a focus on quality and user experience

- Experience launching consumer products from scratch

- Proficiency in React, Next.js, and TypeScript

- Backend experience with Node.js

## Preferred qualifications

- 5+ years of experience building consumer-facing products

- Experience founding a company or being an early engineer on a new product

- Experience with real-time or streaming interactions (e.g., chat interfaces)

- Performance optimization experience for consumer web apps

- High agency and ownership mentality

- Relentless pursuit of improvement

- Strong product taste and high emotional intelligence

- Willingness to adapt and take on additional responsibilities

The annual compensation range for this role is $320,000-$405,000 USD.

## Logistics

- Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or equivalent

- Required field of study: Relevant to the role

- Location-based hybrid policy: 25% office time

- Visa sponsorship: Available

## Benefits

- Optional equity donation matching
