Role

Who you are

7+ years infrastructure experience preferred
Experience with cloud services (AWS/GCP), Kubernetes, Docker, and infrastructure as code (Pulumi/Terraform)
Experience scaling infrastructure from 0 to 1
Strong backend skills to help optimize application and service code; experience with websockets, CDNs, and streaming traffic patterns a plus
Strong understanding of security best practices in building/scaling infrastructure
An obsession with engineering excellence, iterating & learning rapidly, and working hard
Technical leadership or management experience is a plus
A love of music (listening, exploring, making) is a huge plus

What the job involves

We’re looking for early members of our software engineering infrastructure team
You’ll work closely with the founding team and have ownership of a wide variety of technical and design decisions for Suno’s technical architecture and products
Architect and build services to handle massive consumer traffic, data, and usage
Design systems that are performant, secure, scalable, and easy to observe
Lead by example on operational and software engineering excellence

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.

Suno' rise has been fast and impressive, but it's now facing serious legal heat, including new lawsuits from independent artists. If it can defend its practices ad show respect for creators' rights, there's still a strong future ahead for the company.
