About Suno

Suno is a music company built to amplify imagination. Powered by the world’s most advanced AI music model, Suno offers an unparalleled creative platform that includes Suno Studio, a breakthrough generative audio workstation. From shower-singers to aspiring songwriters to seasoned artists, Suno empowers a global community to create, share, and discover music—unlocking the joy of musical expression for all.

About the Role

Billing is one of the most consequential systems at Suno — it's where every product decision about value becomes real. We're looking for a detail-obsessed engineer to be our first dedicated billing hire and own this domain end-to-end. You'll set the technical direction, be a key voice in how we think about the future of our revenue model, and build infrastructure that has to be exactly right at scale.

What You'll Do

• Own Suno's billing systems across web and mobile, including our Stripe and RevenueCat integrations, subscription lifecycle, and usage metering.

• Lead the evolution of our billing architecture — including an in-progress migration to a modern ledger-based model — making it more maintainable and easier to reason about as the business grows.

• Participate in product and strategy discussions about how Suno monetizes, bringing technical judgment to decisions that have direct revenue impact.

• Build tools and systems that give the broader team more leverage.

What You'll Need

• 5+ years of backend engineering experience, ideally building systems where being wrong has immediate real-world consequences — payments, financial infrastructure, distributed systems, or similar.

• A natural instinct to think about failure modes first: what happens if this event arrives twice, out of order, or not at all?

• Strong product sense alongside technical depth — you care about what users experience, not just what the code does.

• A high bar for correctness that you hold yourself and others to without being told.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience.

• Experience with Stripe is a plus.

• A love for music is a huge plus.

Additional Notes: Applicants must be eligible to work in the US.

Location: This is an onsite role in our NYC or Cambridge, MA office.
