Responsibilities

is Anthropic's flagship consumer product, spanning web, mobile, desktop, and browser extensions—and it's growing fast.

The Web 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

running smoothly across surfaces.

This is a great fit if you care deeply about developer experience and want your engineering work to have outsized leverage: instead of shipping one feature, you're building the tools and systems that make dozens of features possible.
