Job summary

Suno is hiring senior and staff iOS engineers to shape the architecture and experience of a real-time AI music studio. You’ll work closely with the founding team to define features end-to-end and drive engineering quality for a platform that enables expressive music creation.

The role emphasizes performance, polish, and scalable foundations for millions of users in a dynamic startup environment, based in Chelsea, NYC.

Qualifications

• 5+ years (Senior) or 7+ years (Staff) shipping production iOS apps.
• Advanced expertise in Swift — SwiftUI with UIKit where necessary.
• Deep experience building fluid, polished animations and translating design prototypes into robust, production-grade code.
• Strong sense for performance: you profile, benchmark, and fix, from UI thread contention to network efficiency.
• An obsession with great user experience — you care about the details that most engineers skip.
• 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

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.
• Instrument and monitor the app’s health, and iterate rapidly post-launch based on real user data.
• Set the technical direction for the iOS platform and define architectural patterns the team builds on.
• Mentor engineers and raise the bar for code quality, abstractions, and engineering culture
