Senior / Staff Software Engineer (Android)

• We’re looking for early members of our Android team at the Senior and Staff levels
• These aren’t maintenance roles — you’ll help define the architecture and experience of a product that’s genuinely changing how the world makes music
• You’ll work directly alongside the founding team, shaping technical and product decisions from the ground up
• The Suno Android app is far more than a music player: it’s a real-time AI creation studio, a social platform for sharing and discovering original music, and a showcase for some of the most advanced generative audio technology ever shipped to consumers at scale
• At the Senior level, you’ll own major features end-to-end, drive engineering quality, and contribute to architectural decisions
• At the Staff level, you’ll set the technical direction for the Android platform, mentor the team, and define the foundations that scale us to 10x our current user base and beyond
• 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 — scoping, shipping, and iterating post-launch
• Collaborate closely with product and design to shape the feel, flow, and direction of the app
• Optimize for performance, responsiveness, and delight — from render times to audio latency to micro-interactions
• Instrument and monitor the app’s health, and iterate rapidly based on real user data
• Set the technical direction for the Android platform and define architectural patterns the team builds on
• Mentor engineers and raise the bar for code quality, abstractions, and engineering culture

• A keen understanding of what’s distinct about Android — and how to leverage that in a media-rich application
• Comfort with ambiguity: you can scope work, make tradeoffs, and ship without a fully-defined spec
• Experience building fluid, polished animations and translating design prototypes into robust, production-grade code
• 5+ years shipping production Android apps
• A collaborative spirit and strong communication — you work fluidly with designers, PMs, and backend teams
• Strong sense for performance: you profile, benchmark, and fix across UI rendering, memory, and network efficiency
• An obsession with great user experience — you care about the details that most engineers skip
• Advanced expertise in Kotlin and modern Android development frameworks and best practices
• A genuine love of music — listening, creating, or performing
• Technical leadership or mentorship experience (especially important for Staff candidates)
• Track record building 0→1 consumer products at a fast-moving startup
• Background designing or consuming mobile-first APIs in close collaboration with backend engineers
• Experience with social product features: feeds, follow graphs, notifications, publishing flows
• Experience working with audio streaming pipelines or real-time audio on Android
• Prior experience with ExoPlayer and Media3 for audio/video playback
