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
- 5-7+ years of full-stack software engineering experience
- Demonstrated experience building and shipping internal tooling or systems that support business functions
- Hands-on familiarity with the current landscape of AI for software engineering, including LLMs, AI APIs, and agentic workflows - you've actually built and shipped something with these tools, not just used AI as a coding assistant
- Strong communicator who can work effectively with non-engineering partners - you can translate between technical and business contexts without losing either audience
Desirable
- Experience on a platform, developer experience, or enterprise engineering team where internal teams were your primary customers
- Familiarity with support tooling, CRM systems, or workflow automation platforms
- Experience standing up observability and operational practices for internal systems from scratch
- Comfort operating in an early-stage, 0→1 environment where the problem space is still being defined
What the job involves
- Suno is hiring a Senior-Staff Software Engineer, AI Engineering - responsible for writing the software that helps our non-engineering functions move faster, work smarter, and scale
- As an engineer on this team, you'll own the AI-powered systems that support our operations functions: support, legal, finance and beyond
- You'll work closely with partners across the business to understand what they actually need, then build and maintain the systems that deliver it. This is a 0→1 role with real ownership, real infrastructure, and a direct line to company-wide impact
- Design and build AI-powered internal systems for a range of functions across Suno
- Own the underlying infrastructure that keeps those systems running in production — reliable, observable, and easy to extend to new use cases
- Embed with cross-functional partners to understand their workflows, surface the right problems to solve, and prioritize what gets built next
- Partner with engineering teams to expand AI-enabled tooling and ensure our internal systems benefit from the company's broader AI infrastructure
- Help non-engineering teams move faster and with more capability, contributing to Suno's mission of making creative fulfillment a daily reality for everyone
- Establish the engineering foundation and operational patterns for a function that will grow alongside the company
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.
