Job Description

Join Suno, a music creation platform, as an Engineering Manager for the Social team. In this hands-on leadership role, you will lead a small team of fullstack product engineers, set technical direction, and partner with product, design, and data science. You will help shape the future of social in music and advance Suno's mission of making creative fulfillment a daily reality. Enjoy benefits such as a 401(k) match, medical, dental, and vision insurance, unlimited paid time off, and more.

  • 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.
  • 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 track record of creating structure in ambiguous, 0→1 environments, ideally shipping consumer social products at startup pace
  • 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
  • Founding or 0→1 experience inside a larger organization (a “startup within a startup”)
  • Familiarity with network-effects and engagement-mechanics literature
  • Fullstack range across mobile, web, and backend
