Desirable

• Claude.ai is Anthropic's flagship consumer product, spanning web, mobile, desktop, and browser extensions—and it's growing fast
• We're looking for an engineering leader to own the foundational platform that powers all of these surfaces: the shared infrastructure, APIs, tooling, and systems that enable product teams to ship reliably, quickly, and with confidence
• In this role, you'll lead the team responsible for reliability, latency, developer velocity, and common components across Claude.ai's UI surfaces
• This includes the backend-for-frontend (BFF) APIs that power our client applications
• Your work will directly determine how fast customer, partner, and product teams can innovate—and how stable their experiences are when they ship
• This is a highly technical leadership role: you'll stay close to the code, drive architectural decisions, and build the systems that let others move faster
• This is a unique opportunity to shape the developer experience and platform foundations for one of the most rapidly evolving AI products in the world
• You'll partner closely with product engineering teams, infrastructure, and leadership to ensure Claude.ai scales gracefully as we grow
• Lead and grow the UI Platform team, setting technical direction for reliability, performance, and developer experience across all Claude.ai surfaces
• Own the foundational systems that product teams depend on: shared components, BFF APIs, build and deploy pipelines, observability, and performance infrastructure
• Design and evolve the API layer that powers Claude.ai's client applications, ensuring clean abstractions and reliable contracts for product teams
• Drive improvements to developer velocity—reducing friction, improving tooling, and enabling teams to ship features faster and more safely
• Establish and maintain high standards for latency, reliability, and quality across the platform
• Partner closely with product engineering, infrastructure, and leadership to align platform investments with product priorities
• Create clarity and direction in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment where priorities shift as Claude.ai evolves
• Build a culture of technical excellence, collaboration, and continuous improvement within your team
