About the role
Billing is one of the most consequential systems at Suno - it's where every product decision about value becomes real. We're looking for a detail-obsessed engineer to be our first dedicated billing hire and own this domain end-to-end. You'll set the technical direction, be a key voice in how we think about the future of our revenue model, and build infrastructure that has to be exactly right at scale.
Responsibilities
- Own Suno's billing systems across web and mobile, including our Stripe and RevenueCat integrations, subscription lifecycle, and usage metering.
- Lead the evolution of our billing architecture - including an in-progress migration to a modern ledger-based model - making it more maintainable and easier to reason about as the business grows.
- Participate in product and strategy discussions about how Suno monetizes, bringing technical judgment to decisions that have direct revenue impact.
- Build tools and systems that give the broader team more leverage.
Requirements
- 5+ years of backend engineering experience, ideally building systems where being wrong has immediate real-world consequences - payments, financial infrastructure, distributed systems, or similar.
- A natural instinct to think about failure modes first: what happens if this event arrives twice, out of order, or not at all?
- Strong product sense alongside technical depth - you care about what users experience, not just what the code does.
- A high bar for correctness that you hold yourself and others to without being told.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
- Experience with Stripe is a plus.
- A love for music is a huge plus.
- Additional Notes: Applicants must be eligible to work in the US.
- Location: This is an onsite role in our NYC or Cambridge, MA office.
