About the RoleSuno is hiring two Senior Engineering Managers to help lead our Product Engineering organization as we build the applications that unlock creative fulfillment for over 100 million creators. Each Senior EM will own a pillar of the product, manage a group of Engineering Managers, and partner closely with product, design, and data science to set direction and ship experiences people love. These are hands-on leadership roles for people who want to shape both the technical roadmap and the managers who execute it, in a fast-paced, music-obsessed environment.
You'll bring together a group of engineering teams under a shared roadmap, set the technical bar across that group, and grow the managers and engineers who report to you. You'll work closely with the other Senior Engineering Managers and with senior product, design, and data science partners to make sure your teams' work connects to Suno's broader strategy.
