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+ years of backend engineering experience, ideally building systems where being wrong has immediate real-world consequences — payments, financial infrastructure, distributed systems, or similar
- A natural instinct to think about failure modes first: what happens if this event arrives twice, out of order, or not at all?
- Strong product sense alongside technical depth — you care about what users experience, not just what the code does
- A high bar for correctness that you hold yourself and others to without being told
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience
- Experience with Stripe is a plus
- A love for music is a huge plus
- This is an onsite role in our NYC or Cambridge, MA office
What the job involves
- The Commerce Platform is one of the most consequential systems at Suno - it's where every product decision about value becomes real
- We're looking for a detail-obsessed engineer to own our commerce platform end-to-end: the billing, subscription, payment, and metering services that power how Suno makes money, and the surrounding systems that keep it correct - entitlements, involuntary churn recovery, fraud prevention, and accounting
- You'll set the technical direction, be a key voice in how we think about the future of our revenue model, and build infrastructure that has to be exactly right at scale
- Own Suno's commerce platform across web and mobile, including our vendor integrations and the core billing, subscription, payment, and metering services
- Build and evolve subscription and entitlement management - the source of truth for what every user has paid for and what they get access to
- Own payment methods and payment processing, expanding how users around the world can pay for Suno
- Recover revenue that would otherwise be lost: own involuntary churn (failed payments, dunning, recovery flows) and fraud prevention
- Build the financial correctness layer - accounting and reconciliation systems where the money has to be exactly right
- Lead the evolution of our billing architecture - including an in-progress migration to a modern ledger-based model - making it more maintainable and easier to reason about as the business grows
- Participate in product and strategy discussions about how Suno monetizes, bringing technical judgment to decisions that have direct revenue impact
- Build tools, systems, and interfaces that give the broader team more leverage to build products and perform analyses
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.
