Suno is hiring an Engineering Manager, Trust & Safety , to lead the team responsible for protecting our platform and users from abuse, fraud, and harmful content. You'll build and grow a high-performing engineering team while staying close to the technical work - designing detection systems, shaping evaluation models and data pipelines, and driving the strategy that keeps Suno a safe and trustworthy place for our community of over 100 million creators.

Responsibilities

  • Manage, develop, and grow a team of Trust & Safety engineers - including hiring, performance management, career development, and fostering team culture
  • Own the technical direction for bot detection, content moderation, anomaly detection, and fraud prevention systems
  • Drive the design and evolution of data pipelines that power detection and enforcement at scale
  • Oversee the development of internal tools and dashboards for Trust & Safety operations and investigations
  • Partner with product, engineering, legal, and finance leaders to define Suno's Trust & Safety roadmap and coordinate cross-team execution
  • Analyze emerging attack vectors and adapt detection strategies to stay ahead of adversarial behavior
  • Ensure high code quality, robust testing, and scalable architecture while balancing rapid iteration with long-term maintainability

Requirements

  • 4+ years managing an engineering team focused on Trust & Safety, fraud detection, content moderation, or a related domain
  • Strong technical foundation in Python and SQL, with the ability to review code, guide architectural decisions, and jump into the codebase when needed
  • Experience with data engineering pipelines (Dagster, Airflow, or similar) and analytical databases (Snowflake preferred)
  • Understanding of anomaly detection techniques, anti-abuse strategies, bot detection, and content moderation systems
  • Experience building and operating real-time systems and event-driven architectures
  • Excel at both technical leadership and people management - you can ship complex systems and grow the careers of the engineers who build them
  • Thrive in ambiguous, fast-paced environments and can balance multiple priorities while maintaining team focus
  • A love of music (listening, exploring, making)
  • Experience at a consumer tech or creator-platform company
  • Experience at both larger and smaller, high-growth companies
  • Experience scaling a Trust & Safety team from early stage to 10+ engineers
  • Additional Notes:
