Head of Product, Claude Developer Platform

About Anthropic

Anthropic's mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.

About the role

Our goal is to build the platform that enables the next generation of AI – putting the world's most capable and safe AI models in the hands of millions of developers. As Head of Product Management for the Claude Developer Platform, you will be a key strategic leader driving our developer platform strategy and API product vision.

We're looking for an exceptional product leader who has built ecosystems, developer platforms or APIs at scale, deeply understands what makes developers successful, regularly ships products that other builders bet their business on, and is eager to dive into everything from API architecture to developer community building. The best candidates will be extremely hands-on, obsessed with developer experience, and opinionated about a future where builders have all the AI tools they can imagine at their fingertips.

You'll lead a team of product managers who work on everything from API design and SDK development, to pricing and packaging strategy, to documentation and developer tools, to enterprise partnerships and go-to-market execution. You'll partner with our research, infrastructure, and sales teams to balance cutting-edge capabilities with production reliability. Ultimately you'll help us build the platform that developers choose when they're building the most important AI applications in the world.

Responsibilities

Strategic Leadership

Own the complete vision for how developers build with Claude, from the core API to the tools, SDKs, and integrations that make AI accessible across every development environment.

Developer Champion & Ecosystem Builder :

Build partnerships that extend Claude's reach through integrations, ecosystem programs, and distribution relationships. Engage directly with major partners on business relationships and technical decisions, participating in architecture reviews and shaping product roadmaps based on enterprise deployment patterns.

Enterprise Platform Product Leadership

Ship capabilities that enable production at scale : security controls, enterprise authentication, and SLAs for mission-critical applications. Design APIs that enterprise architects can confidently adopt, with rate limiting, monitoring, and documentation that answers both technical and procurement questions. Partners with customers to build products that meet their needs, closing new deals where needed.

Product Execution at Scale

Partner with engineering on architecture for billions of API requests, including infrastructure scaling, model deployment, and reliability guarantees. Ship the essentials : platform that unlocks the most intelligence from the model, documentation that preempts questions, error handling that aids debugging, and monitoring that provides application visibility.

You may be a good fit if you have

10+ years of progressive experience in product management, including at least 5 years in senior roles leading developer platform or API products

Experience in building and working with cutting-edge AI tools and an opinion about what paths AI takes in the future

Extensive experience in strategic product leadership roles in developer tools, API platforms, or infrastructure-as-a-service

A proven track record of scaling developer products and API businesses from early stage to enterprise scale

Deep understanding of developer ecosystems, API monetization, and platform business models

Experience managing product teams across developer experience, API development, and third-party integrations

Strong technical background with ability to work closely with engineering teams on complex API architecture decisions

Demonstrated success in building and leading high-performing product management teams

Customer-obsessed mindset with experience being customer-facing and representing companies externally

Logistics

Education requirements

We require at least a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience.

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.

How we're different

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.

Come work with us!

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.
