Location: San Francisco and Seattle only. About The Role As a Product Manager on Claude Code's model performance team, you will drive model launches end‑to‑end, build evals that measure what matters, and partner directly with researchers and product engineers to translate model improvements into developer‑facing outcomes. Claude Code is the most capable coding agent in the world but there’s much more we can do to extract the maximum performance from our models. We’re looking for a PM who has personally built agentic evals, thinks in systems, uses Claude Code every day, and has refined model taste. You should be as comfortable influencing our research team as you are getting in the weeds of transcripts. You will be the connective tissue between frontier research and the millions of developers who depend on Claude Code to do their best work.
