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).\nListen to the Suno version of this role! https://suno.com/s/375QSVXzMkUOAvwN\nAbout the Role\nAI is changing how software gets built and how companies run and we intend to be at the front of it. We're hiring a Senior / Staff Software Engineer to build the systems that let every team at Suno move fast and scale with our rapid growth. This is greenfield work with real ownership, and you'll help shape how Suno adopts AI. We're hiring for our AI Leverage team, which empowers engineers and other teams across Suno to move faster at scale with agentic tools.\nWhat You'll Do\nDesign and build AI-powered internal systems that let everyone at Suno, from engineers to recruiters, do more with AI\n\nOwn the underlying infrastructure that keeps our AI tooling running in production: reliable, observable, cost-effective, and flexible\n\nPartner with cross-functional teams to understand their workflows, surface the right problems to solve, and prioritize what gets built next\n\nChampion best practices for agentic coding and operations, and help teams adopt them across the company\n\nWhat You'll Need\nMust-Haves\nYou bring 5+ years of full-stack software engineering experience\n\nYou’ve designed, built, and shipped AI-based tools that go well beyond using a coding assistant, and you’re fluent in concepts like MCP, gateways, and evaluations\n\nYou’re eager to learn and share agentic coding best practices and tools\n\nYou have a track record of shipping tooling or systems that support engineering or internal teams\n\nYou thrive in an early-stage, 0→1 environment where the problem space is still being defined\n\nNice-to-Haves\nYou’ve worked with agent frameworks (e.g. LangGraph) and eval or observability tooling (e.g. LangSmith, Braintrust)\n\nYou’ve stood up operational practices for internal systems from scratch\n\nNot sure you meet every point above? Please apply anyway. If you're excited about this work and think you could make an impact here, we'd love to hear from you. The best candidates rarely check every box.\nWork Location Policy\nThis role is expected to work from the designated Suno office 5 days a week, per Suno's company policy.
