About the Role
Suno's song creation agent is becoming something other teams build on. As a Senior AI Platform Engineer, you'll build the APIs, SDKs and shared tooling, including eval infrastructure, tracing and model routing, that let engineers across Suno ship agent features faster. You'll work closely with the agent team, partner teams and Infra, and your customers are other engineers, so adoption is a measure of success. You'll help shape the platform as it grows.

Partner with engineering teams across Suno to onboard them onto the platform with docs and hands-on support, and with Infra on the reliability and scale of the agent runtime.
