We're a small zero-to-one team at Anthropic building brand new consumer AI products. Our mandate: put the full power of frontier Claude models in people's hands, in products that don't exist yet.

You'd be a founding engineer, and engineers here own products end to end. You won't be handed a spec. You'll come up with the bet, shape a vague idea into the leanest real version one, and ship it. Most zero-to-one bets don't work the first time, so you'll keep pushing new products over the line. If you'd rather have a clear spec and a stable surface, that's a valid preference. It's just not this team.

Claude is already one of the most-used AI products in the world. What we build shapes how millions of people use AI every day. The pace is fast and the products are new. If you love building consumer products from scratch and care about getting the details right, we'd like to hear from you.

Originate new consumer AI product bets and own them from first idea to launch

Spot the gap between what Claude can do and what people actually experience, and bring the bet: what to build, why now, and the cheapest way to test it

Take a vague direction and cut it down to the leanest real version one

Set technical direction for the products you build

Own the quality bar for how the product looks and feels, treating latency, responsiveness, and reliability as first-class concerns

Partner with privacy, security, legal, design, platform teams and external partners to find a path to launch

Iterate quickly based on user feedback and internal testing

Keep pushing new products over the line, since most zero-to-one bets don't work the first time
