About the role

Engineering Manager to lead Suno’s Social team, owning the networked social layer (notifications, profiles, follow graph, social engagement) and guiding technical direction, hiring, and cross-functional collaboration to grow Suno’s social platform.

Responsibilities

  • Lead a small team of fullstack product engineers who own Suno’s social layer — notifications, profiles, the follow graph, and social engagement from sharing to comments
  • Grow the team by hiring strong engineers, developing them across the stack, and holding a high bar through honest, firm performance management
  • Set technical direction for social systems at scale — guiding architecture for the follow graph, notifications, and profiles, and championing mobile-first API design
  • Partner with product, design, and data science on roadmap ideation, discovering and fostering the emergent social behaviors that deepen engagement
  • Ship retention-driving features with end-to-end rigor: metrics read-outs, logging, dogfooding, and post-launch follow-up
  • Advance Suno’s mission of making creative fulfillment a daily reality by building the network that lets people create and experience music together

Qualifications

  • 5–7 years in software engineering, including 2–4 years managing engineers — hiring, developing, and running firm performance cycles
  • 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
  • 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
  • A track record of creating structure in ambiguous, 0→1 environments, ideally shipping consumer social products at startup pace
  • Strong asynchronous, cross-functional communicator who reduces ambiguity rather than creating it
  • A love of music (listening, exploring, making)
