> Suno is seeking Senior/Staff iOS Software Engineers to define the architecture and experience of their AI music creation studio. This role involves designing and building the iOS app, creating foundational abstractions, and collaborating with product and design teams.

## Job Description

## What You’ll Do
* 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

## What You’ll Need
* 5+ years (Senior) or 7+ years (Staff) shipping production iOS apps
* Advanced expertise in Swift — we use SwiftUI with UIKit where necessary
* Deep experience building fluid, polished animations and translating design prototypes into robust, production-grade code
* Strong sense for performance: you profile, benchmark, and fix, from UI thread contention to network efficiency
* An obsession with great user experience — you care about the details that most engineers skip
* Comfort with ambiguity: you can scope work, make tradeoffs, and ship without a fully-defined spec
* A collaborative spirit and strong communication — you work fluidly with designers, PMs, and backend teams

## Strong Plusses
* 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
* Track record building 0→1 consumer products at a fast-moving startup
* Technical leadership or mentorship experience (especially important for Staff candidates)

## Benefits
* Company Equity Package
* 401(k) with 3% Employer Match & Roth 401(k)
* Medical, Dental, & Vision Insurance (PPO with 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)
