Copywriter, Developer

The role

Anthropic is hiring a copywriter to shape how its brand speaks to developers, an audience that quickly notices marketing that does not hold up. The work sits between Developer Relations' technical content and brand marketing. You will be part of a developer creative pod alongside a brand designer and a programme manager, with the Head of Copy and Content as craft lead. The role can be based in San Francisco or New York City.

• Work with Developer Relations every day, acting as an embedded extension of that team
• Write launch narratives and short-form copy that remain technically accurate
• Lead copy for the developer creative pod, working with brand design and programme management
• Work with Claude Code and developer marketing leadership on strategy
• Present work, and the reasoning behind voice decisions, to Brand, Developer Relations, Comms and marketing
• Handle feedback from technical reviewers and Comms
• Follow how the work is received and use that to refine the voice, the templates and the work itself

About you
