Job Description

About Anthropic

Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.

The Creative Studio is Anthropic’s in-house creative team responsible for the brand expression across Anthropic and Claude. We care about craft, making things by hand and using AI when it makes sense. The team is growing, and we’re looking for people who do excellent work to join us. The stakes are real, and there’s room to shape what all this becomes.

About The Role

We're looking for a Design Engineer, Web to join our Brand Web team, working at the intersection of design and development to build and maintain Anthropic's web properties. In this role, you'll contribute to shipping high-quality web experiences across anthropic.com and claude.com — from interactive marketing pages and data visualizations to internal tooling that keeps our content operations running smoothly. You'll work closely with designers, engineers, and brand and content teams to translate design intent into polished, production-ready code. Rapid prototyping is a core part of how we work here, and you'll be expected to move fast.

Responsibilities

  • Own implementation of design system components and page templates across our web properties, with a focus on experiences that go beyond static content — interactive pages, data visualizations, and tools that communicate complex information clearly
  • Work within our headless CMS architecture, helping maintain and improve content modeling, structured data workflows, and the publishing experience
  • Collaborate closely with designers to bridge the gap between static design and living, interactive web experiences
  • Contribute to internal tools that help teams author, manage, and publish content at scale
  • Participate in migrations and site architecture projects, taking on defined scopes within larger efforts led by senior team members
  • Move quickly from concept to working prototype, iterating in close collaboration with the team
  • Support tooling and workflow improvements that help the broader team ship faster, and contribute to documentation and knowledge sharing

You May Be a Good Fit If You

  • Have solid experience with modern frontend frameworks, particularly Next.js or similar React-based tooling, and are comfortable working within a design system
  • Understand CSS at a level that lets you implement complex layouts, animations, and interactive experiences with precision
  • Have hands-on experience with headless CMS platforms and can navigate content modeling, structured data workflows, and the operational side of keeping a large site running
  • Have built internal tools or contributed to workflows that improve how teams work day-to-day, and enjoy that kind of problem-solving
  • Can prototype quickly and iterate confidently, moving from rough idea to working proof-of-concept without getting stuck
  • Communicate clearly with both designers and engineers, and care about shipping work that's both technically sound and visually refined
  • Have a track record of contributing to production web properties at a mid-level scope, and are motivated to grow into owning larger, more complex projects

Strong Candidates May Also Have

  • Experience with AI-assisted development workflows
  • Interest in generative or programmatic design
  • Familiarity with localization or internationalization systems

Compensation & Logistics

The annual compensation range for this role is $190,000—$260,000 USD. We require at least a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience. Anthropic expects all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time (hybrid arrangement). Visa sponsorship is available.
