Anthropic is looking to solve the problem of how AI transforms human capability development and to build new product paradigms based on these discoveries. The Senior Product Research Engineer will help build and ship features that reach millions of users, focusing on developing skills in working with AI and enhancing broader human capabilities.
Requirements
- Strong full-stack engineering experience
- 6+ years building and shipping web products, with deep expertise across the stack
- Strong front-end skills: TypeScript/JavaScript, React, HTML/CSS, with an eye for clean, intuitive interface design
- Solid back-end and data pipeline experience: Python, API design, data analysis infrastructure
- Track record of independently driving features from prototype to production quality
- Comfort working as a technical "one-person shop" with full ownership
- Experience with experimentation frameworks, A/B testing, or analytics that measure capability development in production
Responsibilities
- Build and ship features that help users develop skills in working with AI and translate those skills into their own capability growth—measuring success by skill development and product mastery, not just engagement
- Architect and implement end-to-end prototypes (front-end and back-end) that test new interaction paradigms for skill development with AI, including novel uses of Claude as a skill-building partner
- Define technical direction and quality standards for capability-focused product work in a research context—you'll establish patterns others can follow
- Collaborate with researchers to translate insights about skill development and human-AI collaboration into shipped product experiences
- Work closely with product, design, and research teams across Anthropic to influence how skill development principles shape our broader product strategy
- Analyze product data and user behavior using quantitative and qualitative methods to understand how users develop skills with AI and what actually helps them become more capable
- Document and share your work through clear technical writing, prototypes, and presentations that influence thinking across the organization
Other
- Deep conviction about human capability and agency
- Strong perspective on how technology should enhance human capabilities rather than diminish them
- Research mindset with product execution skills
- Comfort with ambiguity and exploring undefined problem spaces—you define what good looks like
- Strategic thinking and focus
