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 Senior / Staff Software Engineer, Detection & Response to design and own how we detect and respond to threats across our environment - the telemetry, the detections, the playbooks, and the on-call rotation. This is a hands-on senior role for an engineer who wants to build detection and response the right way from the ground up and own it end to end.\nListen to the song we made about it: https://suno.com/s/B7vaTyyTkyFO7J21\nWhat You’ll Do\nDesign and build our detection and telemetry pipeline, including logging coverage, the detection stack, and the data that feeds it.\n\nWrite high-signal detections mapped to the threats that matter most, starting with the paths that lead to a breach: identity, access, the cloud control plane, and data exfiltration.\n\nBuild and own incident response - playbooks, on-call, live response, and post-incident reviews that make us better each time.\n\nPartner with security and platform engineering to close telemetry gaps and instrument what isn’t yet visible.\n\nSet the bar for detection-as-code and a metrics-driven approach to response.\n\nBuild detection for AI-specific abuse and threats and novel attack patterns as they emerge.\n\nLeverage AI to augment yourself so you can focus on the critical work that only you can do.\n\nWhat You’ll Need\n6+ years in detection and response, including building detection capability and setting direction - not only operating an established one.\n\nStrong AWS-native detection depth (CloudTrail, GuardDuty, VPC/flow logs, and the broader ecosystem).\n\nA detection-as-code, engineering-first mindset.\n\nCalm, structured, and decisive in a live incident.\n\nInterest in detecting emerging AI/ML abuse and threat patterns.\n\nNice to have: Consumer product at scale, experience as an early or founding detection hire, exposure to AI/ML abuse or platform-abuse signals.\n\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\nAdditional Notes:\nApplicants must be eligible to work in the US.\n\nThis role requires working onsite at one of our three offices.\n\nCompensation\n$276,960 - $363,510\n\nSuno is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer.
