Staff / Senior Software Engineer, Platform Teams

ABOUT SUNO We're building the world's first creative entertainment platform, where the entire world can feel the joy and fulfilment of making music. Music is for everyone: Our users include everyone from grandmothers creating songs for their loved ones, to Grammy winners using Suno Studio, our power tool, to make the most popular hits in the world. Building the future of entertainment requires ambition. The pace is fast, the problems are hard, and the work demands ownership and intensity. For the right people, it’s incredibly rewarding: a chance to shape a new medium, work with a small team that cares deeply about quality, make music, drink too much coffee, and build something that millions of people use to express themselves in ways that were never before possible. Suno is the fastest growing consumer entertainment company and the leader in AI music. We are backed by leading investors including Bond Capital, Menlo Ventures, Lightspeed Venture Partners, IVP, Forerunner, Union Square Ventures, Alkeon, Quiet, Matrix Partners, Schroders Capital and, NVentures (venture arm of NVIDIA). ABOUT THE ROLE Suno’s platform teams build the foundation upon which everything else is built, from our products at scale to our internal processes. 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.
