About the role
- We're looking for early members of our iOS team at the Senior and Staff levels.
- These aren't maintenance roles - you'll help define the architecture and experience of a product that's genuinely changing how the world makes music.
- You'll work directly alongside the founding team, shaping technical and product decisions from the ground up.
Responsibilities
- Design and build Suno's iOS app across creation, discovery, playback, and social experiences
- Create foundational abstractions and libraries for performant, highly interactive audio and animation
- Collaborate closely with product and design to shape the feel, flow, and direction of the app
- Optimize for performance, responsiveness, and delight - from frame rates to load times to micro-interactions
- Set the technical direction for the iOS platform and define architectural patterns the team builds on
- Deep experience building fluid, polished animations and translating design prototypes into robust, production-grade code
- 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.
Requirements
- 5+ years (Senior) or 7+ years (Staff) shipping production iOS apps
- Advanced expertise in Swift - we use SwiftUI with UIKit where necessary
- Comfort with ambiguity: you can scope work, make tradeoffs, and ship without a fully-defined spec
- A collaborative spirit and strong communication - you work fluidly with designers, PMs, and backend teams
- Experience working with audio playback systems, streaming pipelines, or real-time audio
- Experience with social product features: feeds, follow graphs, notifications, publishing flows
- Applicants must be eligible to work in the US.
