Infrastructure, Platform, and Leverage These teams work on a range of complex challenges, from the lowest layers of compute, to the platforms that 70+ engineers build on daily, to the AI-native tools and workflows that catalyze how everyone at Suno works, to the core creation surface where millions of people make music.
What all of these teams share: they're building foundational systems at scale, they own their work end-to-end, and their output directly determines how fast and how well Suno can build and ship products.
On one of Suno's platform teams, you'll work on a subset of the complex challenges outlined below:
Define best practices, frameworks, and evaluation systems for how Suno uses tooling in daily work
Own systems end-to-end - from design through deployment, monitoring, and operational excellence
Mentor other engineers and raise the bar for engineering quality, reliability, and maintainability
To succeed on one of Suno's platform teams, your experience and skill set might resemble a cross section of the following:
Experience building and operating systems at significant scale in production
Technical leadership or management experience
Experience building internal systems 0→1 - auth, notifications, CDN, or similar
