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
- 6–8 years of experience in data science or a closely related analytical field, with several years in trust & safety or closely adjacent problems (e.g., spam/fraud, integrity, policy-adjacent ML)
- Strong hands-on SQL and Python
- Experience running online experiments end-to-end, from ideation and metrics selection through analysis and informing the final decision
- Experience building metrics or evaluation frameworks from scratch, without established precedent to lean on
- Applicants must be eligible to work in the US
Desirable
- Experience training and building predictive ML models, offline and real-time
- Musician or creative hobbyist
What the job involves
- Trust should be the foundation of every relationship Suno has — with our users, our artists, our rightsholders, and the broader music community. We're looking for our first dedicated data scientist on the Trust & Safety team to help make that real by building the metrics and analysis that let us measure how we're doing, and collaborating to define and execute on an impactful roadmap
- You'll partner closely with product, engineering, and legal to bring a rigorous, quantitative lens to problems like copyright detection, content filtering, and bot detection. You and cross-functional stakeholders will work together to create a seamless creative environment for our users that is built on security and trust
- Define and evaluate metrics for the health of our trust and safety ecosystem
- Analyze and build models, algorithms, and methodologies for maintaining a safe platform, like bot detection, content filtering, copyright detection, etc
- Design and run experiments that measure the real impact of changes to Trust & Safety practices, and turn results into clear recommendations
- Partner with product and engineering to size opportunities and shape the Trust & Safety roadmap
- Contribute to building strong data foundations as part of our awesome data science team
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.
