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

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
Education requirements: We require at least a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience
Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.
