Engineering Manager - Social

About the role

We’re hiring an Engineering Manager to lead Suno’s Revenue Growth engineering team: a cross-platform group of backend, web, iOS, and Android engineers who discover and deliver Suno’s highest-leverage commercial opportunities. The team owns pricing and packaging, paywalls and offers, subscriber retention, experimentation infrastructure, and revenue-driving UX improvements, partnering closely with product, data science and the commerce platform team. This is a high-autonomy role that combines product, technical, and people leadership: you’ll stay close enough to the code to review decisions and multiply technical ownership across your team.

Applicants must be eligible to work in the US. This role requires working onsite at our NYC office.

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

Requirements

• 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 — we’re not picky about genre)

Benefits

• Company Equity Package
• 401(k) with 3% Employer Match & Roth 401(k)
• Medical, Dental, & Vision Insurance (PPO w/ HSA & FSA options)
• 11 Paid Holidays + Unlimited PTO & Sick Time
• 16 Weeks of Paid Parental Leave
• Creative Education Stipend
• Generous Commuter Allowance
• In-Office Lunch (5 days per week)

Pay

The annual salary range for this role is $277K - $346K + target equity + benefits (including medical, dental, vision, and 401k)
