Product Designer, Design Systems

Job summary

Responsibilities

Design at Anthropic sits at the intersection of craft, research, and product intuition. Design systems is a growing team working on products that millions of people use daily, and on interactions that don't have established conventions yet.

• 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, not one-offs: motion, illustration and icons that are brand and system at once.
• Make the system legible to Claude as well as people: the 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.

What they're looking for

• 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.
• Experience building products at the highest level of craft.

Tech stack

• Figma
