About Suno

• A track record of creating structure in ambiguous, 0→1 environments, ideally shipping consumer social products at startup pace
• Fullstack range across mobile, web, and backend

Responsibilities

• Lead and manage a small team of fullstack product engineers responsible for building and enhancing Suno's social layer, including notifications, profiles, and social engagement features.
• Set the technical direction for social systems at scale, guiding architecture for the follow graph, notifications, and profiles, and championing mobile-first API design.
• Collaborate closely with product, design, and data science teams to ideate and execute on the roadmap, discovering and fostering emergent social behaviors that deepen engagement.

Requirements

• 5–7 years in software engineering, including 2–4 years managing engineers — hiring, developing, and running firm performance cycles
• Enough technical depth to guide architecture and stay hands-on — you can review code, weigh trade-offs, and jump into the codebase when it helps
• Genuine, demonstrable intuition for social products and network effects — you’re a real user and a first-principles thinker about what makes products sticky, and you understand how to grow a network without collapsing context
• A love of music (listening, exploring, making — we’re not picky about genre)
• Strong asynchronous, cross-functional communicator who reduces ambiguity rather than creating it
• Experience on a growth team — social and growth are two sides of the same coin
• Familiarity with network-effects and engagement-mechanics literature

Preferred

• Founding or 0→1 experience inside a larger organization (a “startup within a startup”)
