Full Stack Engineer, Education Labs

About the Role

We believe skill with AI is fundamental to human agency. Education Labs builds the paradigms that help people become genuinely more capable—not just more engaged.

This role is part researcher, part product builder, and part interaction designer. You'll be the second technical builder on a small team studying how AI transforms human capability—and shipping features based on what we discover. You'll have significant creative license to define what "good" looks like, exploring new interaction patterns rather than optimizing existing ones.

You'll operate as a one-person technical shop: prototyping new ideas, establishing technical direction, and shipping production-quality features to millions of users.

Responsibilities

• Ship features that help users develop real skill with AI—measuring success by capability growth, not time-on-site.
• Architect end-to-end prototypes (front-end and back-end) that test new interaction paradigms, with particular attention to motion, polish, and interaction feel.
• Define technical direction for the team—establish patterns others can follow.
• Build relationships across Product, Design, and Research to influence how skill development principles shape Anthropic's broader product strategy.
• Shape team strategy and roadmap—identify the highest-leverage opportunities and build conviction across stakeholders.
• Translate research insights about skill development and human-AI collaboration into shipped product through close collaboration with researchers.
• Document and share your work through clear writing, prototypes, and presentations that influence thinking across the organization.

Qualifications

Required

• 6+ years building and shipping web products, with deep expertise across the stack.
• Strong front-end craft: TypeScript/JavaScript, React, CSS—with an eye for interaction design, motion, and visual detail.
• Solid back-end and data pipeline experience: Python, API design, analytics infrastructure.
• A portfolio showcasing innovative interaction designs and high-quality implementations.
• Track record of independently driving features from prototype to production.
• Deep conviction about human capability and passion for skill development, HCI, developer tools, or capability-building products.
• Research mindset with product execution: comfort with ambiguity and ability to rapidly prototype, test, and iterate.
• Strategic leadership and coalition building across cross-functional teams.

Preferred

• Experience in developer tools, creative tools, learning platforms, or products where mastery matters over time-on-site.
• Background in learning sciences, cognitive science, HCI, skill acquisition research, or educational psychology.
• Experience with experimentation frameworks, A/B testing, or capability analytics in production.
• Experience in research labs, frontier tech companies, or high-autonomy startups.
• Published writing, talks, or open-source work on skill development or human-AI interaction.
• Experience building AI-native product experiences or working with LLMs in production contexts.

What this role is not

This is a hands-on technical role building product features embedded within a research team. It does not involve people management off the bat.
