Staff/Senior Software Engineer (Platform Teams)

• We’re hiring Staff and Senior Software Engineers to work on one of the teams that powers the entire company: Infrastructure, Platform, and Leverage
• These teams work on a range of complex challenges, from the lowest layers of compute, to the platforms that 70+ engineers build on daily, to the AI-native tools and workflows that catalyze how everyone at Suno works
• 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 foundational systems at scale, they own their work end-to-end, and their output directly determines how fast and how well Suno can build and ship product
• They solve hard problems with autonomy and a bias toward engineering excellence
• Build the platforms that 70+ engineers depend on to ship product quickly and safely — APIs, authentication, deployment tooling, backend-driven configuration, and similar
• Manage migrations that help teams transition off legacy systems seamlessly and without risk
• Collaborate with engineering teams across the company to understand their needs and build the right abstractions
• Build shared infrastructure, agentic tooling, and workflows that enable AI-native development across the company
• Define best practices, frameworks, and evaluation systems for how Suno uses tooling in daily work
• Partner closely with engineering and non-engineering teams to understand their needs and build the right solutions
• Architect and build services to handle write-heavy consumer traffic and data
• Design systems that are performant, secure, scalable, and easy to observe
• Build and operate distributed databases, caching layers, and storage systems at consumer scale
• Scale Kubernetes infrastructure and control planes to support rapid product and ML growth
• Design inference infrastructure that keeps AI workloads fast, reliable, and cost-efficient
• Operate with ambiguity — scope what matters, move fast, and drive projects forward independently as the space evolves
• Own systems end-to-end — from design through deployment, monitoring, and operational excellence
• Mentor other engineers and raise the bar for engineering quality, reliability, and maintainability
