Senior / Staff Software Engineer (iOS)

• We’re looking for early members of our iOS 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 iOS 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 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 iOS platform, mentor the team, and define the foundations that scale us to 10x our current user base and beyond
• If you care deeply about performance, polish, and building things that feel magical to use — and you want to do that in one of the most dynamic problem spaces in tech — this is the role for you
• 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

• Strong sense for performance: you profile, benchmark, and fix, from UI thread contention to network efficiency
• Comfort with ambiguity: you can scope work, make tradeoffs, and ship without a fully-defined spec
• An obsession with great user experience — you care about the details that most engineers skip
• Advanced expertise in Swift — we use SwiftUI with UIKit where necessary
• 5+ years (Senior) or 7+ years (Staff) shipping production iOS apps
• A collaborative spirit and strong communication — you work fluidly with designers, PMs, and backend teams
• Deep experience building fluid, polished animations and translating design prototypes into robust, production-grade code
• Experience working with audio playback systems, streaming pipelines, or real-time audio
• Experience with social product features: feeds, follow graphs, notifications, publishing flows
• Background designing or consuming mobile-first APIs in close collaboration with backend engineers
• Technical leadership or mentorship experience (especially important for Staff candidates)
• Track record building 0→1 consumer products at a fast-moving startup
