Job summary

Suno is hiring an Engineering Manager to lead the Social team—an elite group of fullstack engineers building Suno’s social layer from notifications to profiles and the follow graph. You’ll own talent, delivery, and technical direction, while partnering with product, design, and data science to shape what social means for music.

You’ll grow the team, set the bar with hands-on leadership, and help expand Suno’s network and retention. This onsite NYC role reports to the Engineering leadership.

Qualifications

• 5–7 years in software engineering, including 2–4 years managing engineers — hiring, developing, and running performance cycles.
• Genuine, demonstrable intuition for social products and network effects — you’re a user and a first-principles thinker about what makes products sticky.
• Enough technical depth to guide architecture and stay hands-on — you can review code and weigh trade-offs.
• Track record of creating structure in ambiguous 0→1 environments, shipping consumer social products at startup pace.
• Strong asynchronous, cross‑functional communicator who reduces ambiguity.
• A love of music (listening, exploring, making).

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 maintaining high performance standards
• Set technical direction for social systems at scale — architecture for follow graph, notifications, and profiles
• Collaborate with product, design, and data science on roadmap ideation and emergent social behaviors
• Ship retention-driving features with end-to-end rigor: metrics, logging, dogfooding, post-launch follow-up
• Advance Suno’s mission by building the network that lets people create and experience music together
