Music is for everyone: Our users include everyone from grandmothers creating songs for their loved ones, to Grammy winners using Suno Studio, our power tool, to make the most popular hits in the world.\nBuilding the future of entertainment requires ambition. The pace is fast, the problems are hard, and the work demands ownership and intensity. For the right people, it’s incredibly rewarding: a chance to shape a new medium, work with a small team that cares deeply about quality, make music, drink too much coffee, and build something that millions of people use to express themselves in ways that were never before possible.\nSuno is the fastest growing consumer entertainment company and the leader in AI music. We are backed by leading investors including Bond Capital, Menlo Ventures, Lightspeed Venture Partners, IVP, Forerunner, Union Square Ventures, Alkeon, Quiet, Matrix Partners, Schroders Capital and, NVentures (venture arm of NVIDIA).\nAbout the Role\nWe're looking for a Privacy Engineering Lead to build Suno's privacy and AI governance function from scratch. You'll set the technical direction for how we handle data and permissions across our platform, models, and agents - building the infrastructure that enforces policy at the point of use and verifies outcomes like retention and deletion. You'll partner closely with Legal and Product while hiring and growing your own engineering team to scale this work across the company.\nWhat You'll Do\nBuild the policy foundations for how Suno handles data, permitted uses, and AI, in partnership with Legal.\n\nOwn data discovery, classification, and permissions mapping across our product, analytics, and vendor systems.\n\nDesign and operate governance controls across our products, data platforms, models, and agents, enforcing consent, access, and data-sharing rules.\n\nLead verified user rights operations, including access, correction, deletion, and consent management, partnering with Product on self-service tools.\n\nHire and grow a dedicated privacy engineering team, giving this work the focused ownership it needs to scale.\n\nHelp make responsible data handling part of how Suno builds every new model and feature, in service of making creative fulfillment a daily reality for everyone.\n\nWhat You'll Need\nMust-Haves\n8-10 years hands-on software engineering experience, with the technical depth to help build and ship enforcement infrastructure yourself, not only define policy for others to implement.\n\nDeep experience in privacy engineering or data governance, including working familiarity with regulatory frameworks like GDPR and CCPA.\n\nExperience as an engineering manager who has maintained real technical depth, or as a Staff+ engineer ready to grow into people management.\n\nNice-to-Haves\nExperience with AI/ML governance, model evaluation pipelines, or generative AI systems.\n\nBackground at a consumer tech company at scale, or one with a significant European user base.\n\nPrior experience as an early or founding privacy/governance hire at a growing company.\n\nWork Location Policy\nThis role is expected to work from the designated Suno office 5 days a week, per Suno's company policy. Full-time employees will receive competitive equity packages, and comprehensive benefits. The actual base salary offered may vary depending on location, skills, qualifications, and experience.\nAdditional Notes\nApplicants must be eligible to work in the US.\nPerks & Benefits for Full-Time Employees\nCompany Equity Package\n\n401(k) with 3% Employer Match & Roth 401(k)\n\nMedical, Dental, & Vision Insurance (PPO w/ HSA & FSA options)\n\n11 Paid Holidays + Unlimited PTO & Sick Time\n\n16 Weeks of Paid Parental Leave\n\nCreative Education Stipend\n\nGenerous Commuter Allowance\n\nIn-Office Lunch (5 days per week)\n\nCompensation:\nThe annual salary range for this role is $276,960 - $363,510 + target equity + benefits (including medical, dental, vision, and 401k)\n\nSuno is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer.
