Staff / Senior Software Engineer, Product Teams

Staff And Senior Software EngineerSuno 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.Regardless of team, you'll:Own products and systems end-to-end — from scoping what to build, to shipping, to monitoring and iterating post-launchBuild backend and full-stack systems that serve millions of users with high performance and reliabilityDesign clean, scalable APIs consumed by web, iOS, and Android clientsCollaborate closely with Product, Design, Data Science, and peer engineering teamsRun experiments, instrument metrics, and make data-informed decisions about what to build nextCommunicate proactively and with high bandwidth — concise & information-dense async updates, stakeholder alignment, low entropyRaise the technical bar through code quality, architectural thinking, crisp abstractions, and mentorshipWe're hiring across several product areas.
