Senior/Staff Software Engineer, Artists & Creators

SunoWe're building the world's first creative entertainment platform, where the entire world can feel the joy and fulfillment of making music. 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.Building 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.Suno 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).About the RoleSuno 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.What You'll DoOwn part of the Songkick product end-to-end, wherever you're strongest — from backend, mobile app (React Native, iOS + Android), data pipelines, and notificationsLead 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 nextArchitect and maintain data aggregation systems that ingest, normalize, and score touring and event data from dozens of sources into a single canonical recordAssess a large, established codebase and make clear-eyed calls about what to preserve, modernize, or retireDesign APIs consumed by mobile clients, working directly with the teams building on top of themExtend Suno's mission of making creative fulfillment a daily reality into how fans discover and experience live musicWhat You'll NeedMust-Haves5–10 years of software engineering experience, with a demonstrated hunger to stay close to the code and the end userAn ownership mentality — you enjoy taking a large, ambiguous product space and running with it end-to-endStartup experience shipping quickly in a fast-moving, ambiguous environmentStrong API design skills, having worked closely with iOS/Android or other mobile teamsA 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 expertiseExperience working with modern agentic coding workflows, including E2E testing harnesses, reusable skills, and defining clear success criteriaEnthusiasm for rapid learning, regardless of whether technology and tools are brand new or legacyA preference for deeply collaborative environmentsExperience with a few of the following:Experience building systems that ingest data from 20+ sources, normalize it, score or weight it by source reliability, apply survivorship rules, and store a canonical recordStrong SQL and NoSQL experienceStrong data modeling and system architecture skills at scaleTuning Web, Android, and/or iOS performance metrics with a healthy fear of red numbersBuilding out a design system to accelerate development whilst keeping a consistent feelExperience retrofitting design systemsNice-to-HavesHands-on experience with React Native and/or Ruby on RailsExperience building or maintaining email or push notification systemsThis Role is a Match for Candidates Who:Thrive in ambiguous, fast-paced environments — you don't need everything mapped out to move forwardBring low ego and high versatility, equally at ease debugging a small fix or driving a major projectGet energy from rapid prototyping and iteration — you'd rather ship something rough and refine it than wait for perfectHave a genuine passion for music and live events, and want that passion reflected in your workAdditional Notes:Applicants must be eligible to work in the US.This is an in-person role working at our Cambridge, NYC, LA offices.Perks & BenefitsCompany Equity Package401(k) with 3% Employer Match & Roth 401(k)Medical, Dental, & Vision Insurance (PPO w/ HSA & FSA options)11 Paid Holidays + Unlimited PTO & Sick Time16 Weeks of Paid Parental LeaveCreative Education StipendGenerous Commuter AllowanceIn-Office Lunch (5 days per week)CompensationThe annual salary range for this role is $228K-$363K + target equity + benefits (including medical, dental, vision, and 401k)Suno is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer.
