Company mission
To build a revolutionary creative platform powered by the world's best music model to bring the joy of musical expression to everyone, everywhere.
Role
Who you are
- 4+ years managing an engineering team focused on Trust & Safety, fraud detection, content moderation, or a related domain
- Strong technical foundation in Python and SQL, with the ability to review code, guide architectural decisions, and jump into the codebase when needed
- Experience with data engineering pipelines (Dagster, Airflow, or similar) and analytical databases (Snowflake preferred)
- Understanding of anomaly detection techniques, anti-abuse strategies, bot detection, and content moderation systems
- Experience building and operating real-time systems and event-driven architectures
- Excel at both technical leadership and people management — you can ship complex systems and grow the careers of the engineers who build them
- Thrive in ambiguous, fast-paced environments and can balance multiple priorities while maintaining team focus
- A love of music (listening, exploring, making)
- Willingness to travel (up to 10%) to collaborate with team members across Suno office locations
Desirable
- Experience at a consumer tech or creator-platform company
- Experience at both larger and smaller, high-growth companies
- Experience scaling a Trust & Safety team from early stage to 10+ engineers
What the job involves
- Suno is hiring an Engineering Manager, Trust & Safety, to lead the team responsible for protecting our platform and users from abuse, fraud, and harmful content
- You'll build and grow a high-performing engineering team while staying close to the technical work — designing detection systems, shaping evaluation models and data pipelines, and driving the strategy that keeps Suno a safe and trustworthy place for our community of over 100 million creators
- Manage, develop, and grow a team of Trust & Safety engineers — including hiring, performance management, career development, and fostering team culture
- Own the technical direction for bot detection, content moderation, anomaly detection, and fraud prevention systems
- Drive the design and evolution of data pipelines that power detection and enforcement at scale
- Oversee the development of internal tools and dashboards for Trust & Safety operations and investigations
- Partner with product, engineering, legal, and finance leaders to define Suno's Trust & Safety roadmap and coordinate cross-team execution
- Analyze emerging attack vectors and adapt detection strategies to stay ahead of adversarial behavior
- Ensure high code quality, robust testing, and scalable architecture while balancing rapid iteration with long-term maintainability
Our take
Suno is a company leveraging AI for music creation, attempting to make it accessible to everyone, regardless of their musical background. The platform allows users to generate complete songs by inputting text prompts, breaking down the barriers that traditionally separate amateurs from professional musicians.
Unlike other AI music tools, Suno focuses on ease-of-use, enabling even those with no music theory knowledge to produce professional-sounding songs. This approach has already attracted a diverse user base, including everyday people and GRAMMY-winning artists.
Whether the vision sits comfortably with the wider music community is another matter. For many, AI-generated music still raises ethical questions around ownership and the value of human artistry. But with investors continuing to back Suno with hundreds of millions of dollars, it's clear they believe AI music is here to stay.
