This role is embedded with the Claude Code product team, driving data-informed decisions for Anthropic's agentic coding tool that enables developers to delegate coding tasks directly to Claude from their terminal. You'll help the team understand how developers interact with AI coding assistants, measure developer productivity and product quality, and identify opportunities to innovate the developer experience as the product scales. Key focus areas include developer usage patterns across the platform, driving adoption within the developer ecosystem, and developer segmentation.

Strong candidates may have:

• Deep familiarity with software development workflows, developer tools, and engineering productivity metrics—ideally from working at developer-focused companies or on products targeting software engineers
• Experience analyzing human-AI interaction patterns, particularly in code generation or developer tooling contexts
• Experience supporting product teams building for the Enterprise

You will be embedded with our Consumer product team. This team is responsible for building all consumer-facing Claude experiences—including web, mobile, desktop, and browser extensions. In this role, you'll shape how millions of users interact with Claude daily, driving product insights to product recommendations for interfaces that are intuitive, responsive, and push the boundaries of what AI-powered applications can be.

Strong candidates may have:

• Experience working closely with Product and Engineering teams on consumer products across multiple platforms (web, iOS, Android, desktop, browser extensions)
• Demonstrated impact on product roadmap and strategy from data deep dives in consumer growth, engagement and retention
• Expert in experimentation, holding a high statistical bar for measuring the impact of core product changes

You will partner closely with product, engineering, and go-to-market teams to understand how developers and enterprise customers build on and adopt the Claude Developer Platform—spanning our core API, agent orchestration, tool and MCP integrations, and knowledge management capabilities. You'll identify growth opportunities, surface insights about how AI agents are being built and deployed at scale, and drive data-informed decisions that shape our platform roadmap.

Strong candidates may have:

• 3+ years of experience working closely with Product or Engineering teams on API or developer-facing products, with demonstrated impact on product roadmap and strategy
• Experience supporting B2B sales teams with data insights
• Strong instincts for what drives product adoption, engagement, and retention

You will work closely with product, engineering, and research leaders to bring data-driven rigor to every phase of model development and launch. Sitting at the true bleeding edge of putting frontier AI research into the public domain, you will leverage data from both external customers and internal testing to define and measure key company success metrics, and analyze user and model behavior to identify new opportunities to push the frontier. 

Strong candidates may have:

• 3+ years of experience deeply embedding in Product or Research teams, preferably working with LLM or AI products
• Comfort working with unstructured data

Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience

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

Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. 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. To protect yourself from potential scams, remember that Anthropic recruiters only contact you from @anthropic.com email addresses. In some cases, we may partner with vetted recruiting agencies who will identify themselves as working on behalf of Anthropic. Be cautious of emails from other domains. Legitimate Anthropic recruiters will never ask for money, fees, or banking information before your first day.

We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.

The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.

Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
