Anthropic · San Francisco, CA | New York City, NY | Seattle, WA
Anthropic is an AI safety and research company focused on building reliable, interpretable, and steerable artificial intelligence systems. As a Product Designer for the Safeguards team, the intern will work at the intersection of design craft, research, and product strategy to shape how users interact with AI. This role involves designing interfaces for emerging AI capabilities where established conventions do not yet exist. Day-to-day responsibilities include collaborating with engineers and researchers to define product vision, prototyping rapidly, and creating polished UI patterns that build user trust. The role requires a candidate who is comfortable navigating ambiguity and can ship high-quality work in a fast-paced environment. Ideal candidates have experience designing complex workflows or developer tools, a strong portfolio demonstrating user-centered design, and proficiency in modern design tools like Figma. A technical mindset is essential, as the role involves understanding product architecture and utilizing AI tools like Claude Code to extend design capabilities. This position is well-suited for a designer who enjoys questioning UI assumptions and is eager to contribute to the development of safe and beneficial AI technologies.
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. About the role Design at Anthropic sits at the intersection of craft, research, and product intuition. We're a small team working on products that millions of people use daily—and on interactions that don't have established conventions yet. Our work shapes how people experience AI: whether Claude feels like a tool or a collaborator, whether it earns trust or erodes it. We partner closely with engineers and researchers, often designing around capabilities that are emerging in real-time. That means staying close to the models, prototyping rapidly, and being comfortable with ambiguity. We're looking for designers who ship fast and stay in motion—people who would rather get something in front of users this week than perfect it for a month. You're excited to question fundamental UI assumptions and invent patterns that feel native to AI, and you're already using tools like Claude Code to extend what you can build. You pay attention to where model capabilities are heading, not just what Claude can do today, and you find ways to keep caring about the pixels, the copy, and the edge cases while shipping quickly. Key responsibilities Collaborate with product managers, engineers, AI researchers and other stakeholders to define product vision, strategy and roadmaps, and play an active role in shipping. Understand the technical architecture of our products and define primitives for new capabilities. Define feature areas with exceptional attention to detail and polish, identifying opportunities to improve quality and consistency of broader flows Craft beautiful, polished, and delightful user interfaces that build trust and showcase the power of our AI technology Comfortable in code, design, prototypes, and learning new ways to communicate ideas and concepts Find creative ways to ship high-quality work in a fast-paced, often ambiguous, resource-constrained startup environment Minimum qualifications Experience designing and shipping complex workflows, enterprise/B2B SaaS, developer tools, or API products end-to-end Proven track record of executing end-to-end on large and complex products, or a series of products, in ambiguous environments A portfolio demonstrating user-centered design thinking and polished UI craftsmanship Proficiency with modern design and prototyping tools, such as Figma Experience using AI tools such as Claude Code as a creative partner in your own design practice Excellent collaboration and communication skills to work effectively with cross-functional teams and influence without authority Preferred qualifications Experience prototyping with front-end code (e.g., HTML/CSS/JS) Passion for crafting scaled, highly impactful, safe and beneficial artificial intelligence technologies to enable new possibilities 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.

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.
