Description For Staff Software Engineer

Suno is revolutionizing the music creation landscape by developing AI technology that enables anyone to create music through simple text prompts. As a Staff Software Engineer at Suno, you'll join a dynamic team of musicians and AI experts with backgrounds from leading tech companies like Spotify, TikTok, Meta, and Kensho.

The role offers an exciting opportunity to shape the future of music creation technology, working directly with the founding team. You'll be responsible for building and architecting Suno's core applications and services, handling everything from user-facing features to scalable backend systems. The position requires a strong technical background with 7+ years of experience, particularly in backend or full-stack development.

The company culture uniquely blends technology and music, featuring a workplace that includes a studio and regular musical discussions. You'll be working on cutting-edge technology that's already attracting both professional artists and everyday users who are creating music for the first time.

Key technical challenges include designing distributed systems that can handle massive consumer traffic, implementing robust data storage solutions, and creating intuitive user experiences. The tech stack includes modern technologies like PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, React, and TypeScript, offering a comprehensive full-stack environment.

This is an ideal opportunity for a senior engineer who is passionate about both technology and music, wants to make a significant impact on a revolutionary product, and values working in a creative, fast-paced environment.
