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\nSuno is standing up an Artists & Creators pod, and our first major focus is Songkick.com - our newly acquired live music and ticketing product. We're hiring an early team to take technical ownership of Songkick within Suno across the stack: the backend, the website, the mobile app, the data pipelines, and the notification systems that power it. You'll report to the Songkick Engineering Manager and work closely with the Songkick General Manager, our Product Manager, and our Music teams to help define how this team tracks success and grows. Early on, the work is hands-on and diverse - understanding the existing system deeply, stabilizing it, and finding the integration points that make Songkick and Suno stronger together. Over time, this role has real influence over the roadmap, engineering best practices, and leaving a handprint on Suno's Artists & Creators engineering team.\nCheck out the Suno version of the role here! https://suno.com/s/emzEA5oPeNN6dxK2\nWhat You'll Do\nOwn part of the Songkick product end-to-end, wherever you’re strongest - from backend, mobile app (React Native, iOS + Android), data pipelines, and notifications\n\nLead the technical integration of Songkick into Suno, partnering with the Songkick Engineering Manager, Product Manager, incoming General Manager, and our existing engineering team to identify what to build next\n\nArchitect and maintain data aggregation systems that ingest, normalize, and score touring and event data from dozens of sources into a single canonical record\n\nAssess a large, established codebase and make clear-eyed calls about what to preserve, modernize, or retire\n\nDesign APIs consumed by mobile clients, working directly with the teams building on top of them\n\nExtend Suno's mission of making creative fulfillment a daily reality into how fans discover and experience live music\n\nWhat You'll Need\nMust-Haves\n5-10 years of software engineering experience, with a demonstrated hunger to stay close to the code and the end user\n\nAn ownership mentality - you enjoy taking a large, ambiguous product space and running with it end-to-end\n\nStartup experience shipping quickly in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment\n\nStrong API design skills, having worked closely with iOS/Android or other mobile teams\n\nA flexible set of communication styles - you reduce entropy rather than create it, pride yourself on your ability to write, as well as facilitate live discussions with stakeholders ranging in level of technical expertise\n\nExperience working with modern agentic coding workflows, including E2E testing harnesses, reusable skills, and defining clear success criteria\n\nEnthusiasm for rapid learning, regardless of whether technology and tools are brand new or legacy\n\nA preference for deeply collaborative environments\n\nExperience with a few of the following:\nExperience building systems that ingest data from 20+ sources, normalize it, score or weight it by source reliability, apply survivorship rules, and store a canonical record\n\nStrong SQL and NoSQL experience\n\nStrong data modeling and system architecture skills at scale\n\nTuning Web, Android, and/or iOS performance metrics with a healthy fear of red numbers\n\nBuilding out a design system to accelerate development whilst keeping a consistent feel\n\nExperience retrofitting design systems\n\nNice-to-Haves\nHands-on experience with React Native and/or Ruby on Rails\n\nExperience building or maintaining email or push notification systems\n\nThis Role is a Match for Candidates Who:\nThrive in ambiguous, fast-paced environments - you don't need everything mapped out to move forward\n\nBring low ego and high versatility, equally at ease debugging a small fix or driving a major project\n\nGet energy from rapid prototyping and iteration - you'd rather ship something rough and refine it than wait for perfect\n\nHave a genuine passion for music and live events, and want that passion reflected in your work\n\nAdditional Notes:\nApplicants must be eligible to work in the US.\n\nThis is an in-person role working at our Cambridge, NYC, LA offices.\n\nPerks & Benefits\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 $ $228K-$363K + target equity + benefits (including medical, dental, vision, and 401k)\nSuno is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer.
