Staff / Senior Software Engineer (Product Teams)

• Suno is growing fast, and we’re hiring Staff and Senior Software Engineers to work on the products that define how people experience music on our platform
• We have multiple teams tackling different dimensions of this challenge — from how content reaches users, to how users connect with each other, to how AI gives music a visual identity
• You’ll apply once, and during the interview process we’ll work with you to find the team that’s the best mutual fit based on your background, technical strengths, and what gets you excited
• What all of these teams share: they’re building consumer-facing products at scale, they own their systems end-to-end, and they thrive on rapidly turning ambiguous problems into world class production-grade products
• They have a nose for impact, and take on work from the 2-character performance fixes all the way through introducing brand new company-wide products, directly driving Suno’s top-line company goals
• Own products and systems end-to-end — from scoping what to build, to shipping, to monitoring and iterating post-launch
• Build backend and full-stack systems that serve millions of users with high performance and reliability
• Design clean, scalable APIs consumed by web, iOS, and Android clients
• Collaborate closely with Product, Design, Data Science, and peer engineering teams
• Run experiments, instrument metrics, and make data-informed decisions about what to build next
• Communicate proactively and with high bandwidth — concise & information-dense async updates, stakeholder alignment, low entropy
• Raise the technical bar through code quality, architectural thinking, crisp abstractions, and mentorship
• We’re hiring across several product areas. During the process, we’ll match you to the one that fits best
• Building and optimizing content feeds, playback systems, and discovery experiences that make listening on Suno feel instant and personalized
• Creating the social layer that turns Suno from a creation tool into a creative network — profiles, follow graphs, engagement notifications, publishing flows, and new social formats
• Developing AI-powered visual products that give music a visual identity — generative cover art, AI music videos, and image-to-video experiences using cutting-edge inference models all the while inventing novel interface design patterns that keep the human front-and-center
• Partnering with recommendation systems to make content more personalized and relevant over time
• Designing mobile-first APIs and working hand-in-hand with iOS and Android engineers
• Reducing inference costs and latency for AI-generated content at consumer scale

• Experience with feed architecture, recommendation systems, content ranking, or search/retrieval at scale
• Experience shipping social product features (follow graphs, notifications, engagement systems, publishing flows) at a consumer company
• Hands-on experience with AI image and/or video model inference — diffusion models, token-based inputs, LoRA tuning, inference optimization

• Full-stack capability including modern frontend (React, TypeScript, NextJS)
