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 Menlo Ventures, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Matrix Partners, NVentures (venture arm of NVIDIA).

We're looking for a Staff Engineer to join the Frontend Core team, working closely with engineering and design to build something truly world-class. You'll bring a deep knowledge of web technologies and passion for engineering excellence to drive impactful architecture and design decisions. Your work will shape the Suno experience for millions and set a new bar for performance, accessibility, and delight.
