Lead Corporate Security Engineer

The posting, as Suno wrote it

ABOUT SUNO

We're building the world's first creative entertainment platform, where the entire world can feel the joy and fulfillment 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).

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Lead Corporate Security Engineer will be our domain expert for securing our Corporate IT environment. You’ll work closely with colleagues in IT, Business Systems, Security, and Engineering to ensure that our corporate systems are implemented and maintained securely. As a senior member of the team, your impact will be split between building your team, enabling others, and doing hands-on work to mature our systems, processes, and behaviors.

You'll lead the corporate security domain end to end: identity and access governance, endpoint and vulnerability management, detection and response, third-party integration risk, vendor assessment, and SaaS posture. You'll set the standard, own the roadmap, and be accountable for the outcome. IT Engineering runs the platforms day to day and are your closest partners.

HOW THIS ROLE WORKS WITH IT

Ownership splits by layer, not by system. IT Engineering owns the run; you own the standard and the direction.

• You set the corporate security roadmap. What we secure, in what order, to what bar with buy-in from leadership and XFN stakeholders
• IT engineering owns platform operations. Our SaaS portfolio is administered and integrated by them. You define what those platforms must enforce
• You raise the bar around you. You make your reasoning explicit so that partners make good security calls without you in the room, and you build the tooling and defaults that make the secure path the default path

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

Identity and access governance

• Own the access model at Suno: the RBAC and entitlement design, least-privilege defaults, and the governance layer in Lumos that enforces them
• Set the standard for what access review, certification, and approval should look like here — then build toward it rather than importi
