About Anthropic

Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems that are safe and beneficial for users and society. Our team of researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders works collaboratively to build beneficial AI.

Claude.ai is Anthropic’s flagship consumer product spanning web, mobile, desktop, and browser extensions. The UI Platform team owns the foundational layer that makes Claude usable for everyone, providing shared components, primitives, automated testing, and tooling that enable other product teams to ship accessible experiences quickly, reliably, and confidently. As a Software Engineer on this team, you will design and ship accessible shared components, build automated accessibility testing, and improve build, deploy, and testing systems that keep Claude.ai

compliant across surfaces.

• Shape the definition of how AI products should be accessible.
• Design and publish accessible component primitives, libraries, and abstractions used across Anthropic’s web and mobile surfaces.
• Integrate accessibility into product workflows so standards are met by default rather than retroactively remediated.
• Develop automated testing and scanning infrastructure that catches accessibility regressions across surfaces.
• Partner with product teams to resolve accessibility issues and prioritize the most impactful work.
• Maintain documentation and tooling that make accessible engineering approachable.

• 7+ years of software engineering experience, with significant time spent building accessible products, shared platforms, or developer tools that other engineers rely on.
• Strong practical skills in modern web technologies (React, Type Script or comparable frameworks).
• Hands‑on familiarity with WCAG 2.2 AA, ARIA Authoring Practices, and HTML semantics.
• Experience testing with assistive technology—screen readers (Voice Over, NVDA, JAWS, Talk Back), keyboard‑only navigation, magnification, voice control.
• Track record of building tools that improve developer experience and productivity.
• Solid instincts around accessibility, reliability, and quality, and enjoyment of operationalizing those instincts in production systems.
• Thrives in fast‑paced, collaborative environments and works closely with cross‑functional partners.
• Ready to pick up slack when it goes beyond the stated job responsibilities.

• Building shared component libraries, design systems, or reusable UI infrastructure.
• Accessibility testing—automated, manual, or with assistive technology such as screen readers.
• Streaming or real‑time UI accessibility—live regions, dynamic content, queueing announcements for assistive technology.
• Native platform accessibility on iOS, Android, macOS, or Windows.
• CI/CD, build systems, and/or deployment automation.
• Working with WCAG standards and producing or consuming Accessibility Conformance Reports.
