Senior / Staff Software Engineer (Android)

Join our team as a Senior/Staff Software Engineer (Android) and help shape the future of music creation. You'll work directly with the founding team to define the architecture and experience of our innovative product, the Suno Android app. This role offers the opportunity to own major features, drive engineering quality, and contribute to architectural decisions. As a Staff engineer, you'll set the technical direction for the Android platform, mentor the team, and define the foundations for scaling our user base.

• Concevoir et construire l'application Android de Suno, en se concentrant sur la création, la découverte, la lecture et les expériences sociales.
• Posséder le développement de fonctionnalités de zéro à un et au-delà, en définissant la portée, en expédiant et en itérant après le lancement.
• Définir la direction technique pour la plateforme Android et définir les modèles architecturaux sur lesquels l'équipe s'appuie.
• An obsession with great user experience — you care about the details that most engineers skip
• 5+ years shipping production Android apps
• 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
• A collaborative spirit and strong communication — you work fluidly with designers, PMs, and backend teams
• A keen understanding of what’s distinct about Android — and how to leverage that in a media-rich application
• Strong sense for performance: you profile, benchmark, and fix across UI rendering, memory, and network efficiency
• 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)
• 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
• Experience working with audio streaming pipelines or real-time audio on Android
• Experience with social product features: feeds, follow graphs, notifications, publishing flows
• Prior experience with ExoPlayer and Media3 for audio/video playback
