About the role

Most of the world's work happens far from a code editor, and the people doing it have barely begun to feel what frontier AI can do.
We believe Claude has a transformative role to play here - and we're at the earliest stage of exploring what that could look like.
The engineers who join now will define where it goes.

Collaborate closely with research teams to understand new model capabilities and translate them into tools that non-technical professionals reach for first
Work directly with internal teams and external partners across industries to gather feedback, iterate quickly, and validate (or invalidate) product concepts
Design and run structured experiments to test hypotheses, balancing creative exploration with rigorous evaluation
Are deeply user-centric - you validate ideas with actual users before over-investing and talk about problems before solutions
Experience shipping software or AI applications to non-technical or frontline users - you know how to design for people who will never read documentation, and you measure success by real-world adoption rather than technical elegance

Have 8+ years of experience building full-stack applications, with a track record of zero-to-one work in startup or startup-like environments
Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position
Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience
Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position

Rapidly prototype full-stack applications that bring frontier AI into workflows that have never been software-first, shipping early and often to maximize learning
Minimum education: Bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience
Formal certifications or education credentials
Direct machine learning or AI research experience

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 do sponsor visas!
