Senior / Staff AI Platform Engineer
Suno
Text-to-song AI music generation platform
We'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).
Suno's song creation agent is becoming something other teams build on. As a Senior AI Platform Engineer, you'll build the APIs, SDKs and shared tooling, including eval infrastructure, tracing and model routing, that let engineers across Suno ship agent features faster. You'll work closely with the agent team, partner teams and Infra, and your customers are other engineers, so adoption is a measure of success. You'll help shape the platform as it grows.

Suno creates AI-generated music from text prompts. It lets users describe a mood, genre, or idea and automatically produces fully produced songs with vocals, instrumentation, and arrangements, without requiring any musical training. The product works by turning user prompts into complete songs using generative AI models, offering a library of styles from pop and rock to ambient and cinematic. What sets Suno apart is its combination of engineering and songwriting culture, a fast-growing platform that supports many musical styles and a broad global user base, and its emphasis on making music creation accessible to non-musicians while delivering a complete song output rather than isolated elements. The company aims to reshape how songs are conceived, produced, and shared and to help more people create music by lowering technical barriers and enabling rapid, iterative experimentation.
