About the role
- We're looking for early members of our Android 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 Android app across creation, discovery, playback, and social experiences
- Create foundational abstractions and libraries for performant, highly interactive media experiences
- Own feature development from zero to one and beyond - scoping, shipping, and iterating post-launch
- Collaborate closely with product and design to shape the feel, flow, and direction of the app
- Optimize for performance, responsiveness, and delight - from render times to audio latency to micro-interactions
- Set the technical direction for the Android platform and define architectural patterns the team builds on
- 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 shipping production Android apps
- Advanced expertise in Kotlin and modern Android development frameworks and best practices
- 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
- Prior experience with ExoPlayer and Media3 for audio/video playback
- Experience working with audio streaming pipelines or real-time audio on Android
- Experience with social product features: feeds, follow graphs, notifications, publishing flows
- Applicants must be eligible to work in the US.
Compensation
- The annual salary range for this role is $200K - $300K + target equity + benefits (including medical, dental, vision, and 401k)
Benefits
- Company Equity Package
- Medical, Dental, & Vision Insurance (PPO with HSA & FSA options)
- 11 Paid Holidays + Unlimited PTO & Sick Time
- 16 Weeks of Paid Parental Leave
- Creative Education Stipend
- Generous Commuter Allowance
- Instrument and monitor the app's health, and iterate rapidly based on real user data
