About the Role

Join Suno as an early member of our Android team at the Senior or Staff level. You will help define the architecture and user experience of a product that is changing how the world makes music. You'll work directly with the founding team, shaping technical and product decisions from the ground up. The Suno Android app functions as a real-time AI creation studio, a social platform, and a showcase for advanced generative audio technology.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build Suno’s Android app across creation, discovery, playback, and social experiences
  • Create foundational abstractions and libraries for performant, highly interactive media experiences
  • Own feature development from zero to one and beyond, including scoping, shipping, and post-launch iteration
  • Collaborate with product and design teams to shape the app's feel, flow, and direction
  • Optimize for performance, responsiveness, and user delight, focusing on render times, audio latency, and micro-interactions
  • Instrument and monitor the app’s health, iterating rapidly based on real user data
  • Set the technical direction for the Android platform and define architectural patterns
  • Mentor engineers and elevate code quality, abstractions, and engineering culture

Requirements

  • 5+ years shipping production Android apps
  • Advanced expertise in Kotlin and modern Android development frameworks and best practices
  • Experience building fluid, polished animations and translating design prototypes into robust, production-grade code
  • A keen understanding of Android's distinct capabilities and how to leverage them in a media-rich application
  • Strong sense for performance, including profiling, benchmarking, and fixing issues across UI rendering, memory, and network efficiency
  • An obsession with great user experience and attention to detail
  • Comfort with ambiguity, including scoping work, making tradeoffs, and shipping without a fully-defined spec
  • Collaborative spirit and strong communication skills, working fluidly with designers, PMs, and backend teams
  • Prior experience with ExoPlayer and Media3 for audio/video playback
  • Experience working with audio streaming pipelines or real-time audio on Android
  • Experience with social product features such as feeds, follow graphs, notifications, and publishing flows
  • Background designing or consuming mobile-first APIs in close collaboration with backend engineers
  • Track record of building 0→1 consumer products at a fast-moving startup
  • Technical leadership or mentorship experience (especially important for Staff candidates)
  • A genuine love of music — listening, creating, or performing
  • Applicants must be eligible to work in the US
  • This role is a 5 day a week in-office role in our Chelsea, New York City office.
