full-timeProduct Designer, Design Systems
Anthropic · San Francisco, CA
Anthropic is a company focused on building safe, interpretable and steerable AI systems, with products like Claude that aim to be reliable and beneficial for users. The Design Systems team works on the shared visual and interaction language that underpins all Claude interfaces, from the web app to developer tools. As an intern in this role, you would help define and evolve that system—creating foundations such as colour, type, spacing, icons and tokens, designing reusable components like menus, dialogs and chat composers, and adding expressive layers such as motion and illustration that are both on‑brand and systematic. You would collaborate closely with product designers and engineers, prototype changes in code, ship updates to the design‑system package, and ensure the system is legible not only to people but also to Claude through guidance, metadata and evaluation criteria. The role suits someone with strong visual and interaction craft, hands‑on experience building or contributing to a design system, fluency in tools ranging from Figma to code, an eye for detail from pixels to overall product flow, and a collaborative, low‑ego mindset that enables rapid iteration and impact.
