Machine Learning Engineering Manager leading recommendations at Suno, an AI music platform. Build and scale recommendation systems from prototype to production while growing a team.
We're building the world's first creative entertainment platform, where the entire world can feel the joy and fulfilment of making music. Music is for everyone: Our users include everyone from grandmothers creating songs for their loved ones, to Grammy winners using Suno Studio, our power tool, to make the most popular hits in the world.
Building the future of entertainment requires ambition. The pace is fast, the problems are hard, and the work demands ownership and intensity. For the right people, it’s incredibly rewarding: a chance to shape a new medium, work with a small team that cares deeply about quality, make music, drink too much coffee, and build something that millions of people use to express themselves in ways that were never before possible.
Suno is the fastest growing consumer entertainment company and the leader in AI music. We are backed by leading investors including Bond Capital, Menlo Ventures, Lightspeed Venture Partners, IVP, Forerunner, Union Square Ventures, Alkeon, Quiet, Matrix Partners, Schroders Capital and, NVentures (venture arm of NVIDIA).
We're looking for someone to lead recommendations at Suno. You'll be instrumental in building Suno's music discovery and recommendation systems. You'll help define how millions of users discover, create, and engage with music on our platform by shaping both the systems and the team that makes it happen.
This role is for someone who has deep experience with recommendation systems at scale and is energized about building a new and better one. You're excited to apply and adapt your expertise in a new context and grow an excellent team to get there.
