Type: Full-time

About this role
- Claude.ai is Anthropic’s flagship consumer product, spanning web, mobile, desktop, and browser extensions—and it’s growing fast. The UI Platform team owns the foundational layer that makes all of this possible: the shared infrastructure, components, APIs, and tooling that let every other product team at Anthropic ship quickly, reliably, and with confidence
- As a Software Engineer on this team, you’ll be hands-on building the platform that other engineers depend on every day. This means designing and shipping shared components and design-system-level abstractions, evolving the backend-for-frontend (BFF) APIs that power our client applications, and improving the build, deploy, and observability systems that keep Claude.ai running smoothly across surfaces
- Your work will directly shape how fast teams across Anthropic can innovate—and how stable their experiences are when they do
- Design and build shared UI components, libraries, and abstractions that product teams across Anthropic use to ship consistently and efficiently on web and mobile
- Contribute to the BFF API layer that powers Claude.ai’s client applications—thinking carefully about clean contracts, performance, and reliability at the boundary between frontend and backend
- Improve developer velocity across the organization by reducing friction in our build, deploy, and testing pipelines
- Work on performance and reliability: identify and resolve latency issues, improve observability, and help establish high standards that the rest of the platform team can build on
- Partner closely with product engineering teams to understand their needs, unblock them when possible, and shape platform investments around where the most impact is
- Help maintain and evolve documentation and tooling that make the platform approachable for engineers joining or building on top of it
