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., * 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

• 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. Here’s a flavor of the kinds of problems our teams are solving:
• 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.
