  • Design and build AI-powered internal systems that let everyone at Suno, from engineers to recruiters, do more with AI
  • Own the underlying infrastructure that keeps our AI tooling running in production: reliable, observable, cost-effective, and flexible
  • Partner with cross-functional teams to understand their workflows, surface the right problems to solve, and prioritize what gets built next
  • Champion best practices for agentic coding and operations, and help teams adopt them across the company

What You'll Need

Must-Haves

  • You bring 5+ years of full-stack software engineering experience
  • You’ve designed, built, and shipped AI-based tools that go well beyond using a coding assistant, and you’re fluent in concepts like MCP, gateways, and evaluations
  • You’re eager to learn and share agentic coding best practices and tools
  • You have a track record of shipping tooling or systems that support engineering or internal teams
  • You thrive in an early-stage, 0→1 environment where the problem space is still being defined

Nice-to-Haves

  • You’ve worked with agent frameworks (e.g. LangGraph) and eval or observability tooling (e.g. LangSmith, Braintrust)
  • You’ve stood up operational practices for internal systems from scratch
