> Owns end-to-end billing systems including Stripe and RevenueCat integrations, subscription management, and usage metering for web and mobile. Leads architecture evolution to ledger-based model with 5+ years backend experience in high-stakes systems.

## Job Description

## 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.**
