responsibilities	We’re looking for early members of our iOS team at the Senior and Staff levels. These aren’t maintenance roles — you’ll help define the architecture and experience of a product that’s genuinely changing how the world makes music.; You’ll work directly alongside the founding team, shaping technical and product decisions from the ground up. The Suno iOS app is far more than a music player: it’s a real-time AI creation studio, a social platform for sharing and discovering original music, and a showcase for some of the most advanced generative audio technology ever shipped to consumers.; At the Senior level, you’ll own major features end-to-end, drive engineering quality, and contribute to architectural decisions. At the Staff level, you’ll set the technical direction for the iOS platform, mentor the team, and define the foundations that scale us to 10x our current user base and beyond.; If you care deeply about performance, polish, and building things that feel magical to use — and you want to do that in one of the most dynamic problem spaces in tech — this is the role for you.; Check out the Suno song we made about this role: https://suno.com/s/oEdmOtkZDLHCopSG; 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
