Altana is the network for trusted trade. Our AI-powered product network empowers governments and businesses to build a more resilient and secure global economy while keeping trade flowing. The Opportunity at Altana Altana's mission is to fix globalization. We are building a network that brings together public and private sector entities, across myriad workflows from customs and transaction processing, to macro policy analysis, to supply chain resilience. Combined with the age of agents and AI native experience this isn’t something the SaaS playbook has prepared us for. As Head of Design you will shape the product vision of Altana and bring it to life. You will create a consistent, agent-first design system for handling a wide array of information-dense, complex workflows across governments, logistics providers, importers, and their suppliers across a range of use cases. And you need to lean into the evolving role of product design in an AI-native software development lifecycle. Traditional design organizations are not set up for this world. They scale linearly with headcount, ship Figma files to engineers as the unit of work, treat the design system as a component library, and assume the user is a single human clicking through a single product. That model is already breaking. Product managers can prototype in working code. Engineers can generate full interfaces from a prompt. Customers increasingly interact with the product through an agent that reasons, summarizes, and acts on their behalf. The center of gravity for how experiences get made is shifting — and the design organizations that thrive next will not be the ones that draw the most screens. Our head of design is expected to help us create this new world and evolve traditional SDLC’s to tighten the feedback loop, and produce more output faster together in a native AI loop. We are looking for a Head of Design to build Altana's design organization for that world from the ground up: an agent-fi

Job description
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: The Encodings Infra team maintains the libraries that engineers and researchers across Anthropic use to encode text and multimodal data into a form that Claude can consume. It also determines Claude’s prompt shape: how a user’s turn is represented to the model, how Claude calls tools and receives tool results, and so on. As a Software Engineer on this team, you'll own the design and maintenance of these libraries—keeping their APIs intuitive, their performance sharp, and their abstractions solid enough that most of the org never has to thin
