Other Jobs To Apply

About the position

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 Anthropic is seeking an exceptional communicator to own the communications program for Claude Code. This role sits within the Product Communications team, partnering closely with the Claude Code product team, developer relations, and marketing. You will lead product launches, drive developer community narratives, and build the press and media relationships that make Claude Code impossible to ignore. The ideal candidate combines deep communications expertise with genuine technical fluency and an intuitive feel for how developer audiences discover, evaluate, and adopt tools. We’re looking for a high-agency communicator who understands the new world order of media — where a well-timed Hacker News thread or a trusted developer newsletter can outperform a major media hit. Claude is a prominent team member here, but this is a role for humans: people who are BS detectors, who carry context the model doesn’t have, who make judgment calls, read the room, and bring the kind of critical thinking that remains a genuine comparative advantage.

Responsibilities

  • Own the end-to-end communications strategy for Claude Code: from major launches to the ongoing drumbeat of product updates and community moments
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with journalists, newsletters, podcasters, and creators covering developer tools and the AI ecosystem
  • Lead cross-functional product launch communications, coordinating messaging across comms, marketing, developer relations, and product
  • Translate complex technical capabilities into stories that resonate for developers and for broader audiences
  • Engage authentically in developer communities — forums, Discord, HN, Reddit — as a credible voice
  • Develop messaging frameworks and content strategies that work across technical and non-technical audiences
  • Manage communications risks and provide sound counsel to leadership in fast-moving or sensitive situations
  • Track what’s resonating, raise the bar on craft and impact, and build the program over time

Requirements

  • Have 8–12 years of experience in communications, PR, or developer marketing — with meaningful time focused on technical products or developer audiences
  • Possess truly stellar written and verbal communication skills
  • Have deep understanding of both traditional media channels and the emerging platforms where technical communities actually engage
  • Can fluently translate complex technical concepts for developer audiences without losing the broader narrative
  • Are high-agency and low-ego — you move fast, you own your work, and you don’t need a lot of hand-holding
  • Are self-driven with a bias to action — you spot an opportunity, scope it quickly, and ship
  • Display strong operational capabilities and can move from strategy to execution without losing altitude
  • Have real fluency in developer culture — you’ve spent time in these communities and know how to earn trust

Nice-to-haves

  • Experience at developer tools companies, infrastructure products, or open source projects
  • A background in software engineering, computer science, or another technical discipline
  • An existing network in developer media, technical journalism, or the creator space
  • Experience managing communications for AI or ML products

Benefits

  • competitive compensation and benefits
  • optional equity donation matching
  • generous vacation and parental leave
  • flexible working hours
  • a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues
