Lead Corporate Security Engineer

About this role

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 importing someone else's framework

- Drive access lifecycle automation so joiner/mover/leaver is correct by default and exceptions are visible

- Get ahead of non-human identity: service accounts, agents, and automations are a growing share of what holds access at Suno, and we need a model for them before it's urgent

Endpoint security and vulnerability management

- Own the security standard for our fleet: hardening baseline, compliance signals, device trust, and how endpoint posture feeds access decisions

- Own third-party vulnerability management as a program — coverage, risk-based remediation SLAs, reporting, and the negotiation with teams whose tools are the problem

- Partner with the IT engineer who owns Kandji so the standard becomes deployed policy without degrading how people work

Detection and response

- Own our EDR deployment and maintenance

- Collaborate with Detection and Response on corporate security incidents to closure

Third-party and integration risk

- Own how Suno evaluates third-party access: integration and OAuth review for Slack, Google Workspace and the rest of the portfolio, plus vendor security assessment at purchase and renewal

- Define our risk appetite in practice and make it legible enough that others apply it without you

- Turn recurring decisions into policy, scope guidance, and tooling so the review queue shrinks as the company grows

SaaS security posture

- Build and own the program: the bar for our SaaS applications, the assessment cadence, and the remediation that follows

- Improve tenant-level configuration across the portfolio — SSO and SCIM coverage, MFA and session policy, admin role hygiene, OAuth grant and token management, data sharing defaults

Cross-functional leadership

- Work with IT, Security, Engineering, AI Enablement, and Legal to shape how Suno builds and buys

- Influence the scope of what comes next: how our GRC function plugs in, what we automate versus staff, where the next investment goes

- Mentor and raise the technical bar for people around you, including partners who aren't security specialists

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

- First 90 days: you've formed your own view of our security posture, built working relationships with the IT engineers the broader Security team, and told us the three things we're wrong about

- First 6 months: a corporate security roadmap exists that IT and the CISO are aligned behind, with the sequencing and the tradeoffs made explicit; the highest-risk items are already moving

- First year: entitlement sprawl and vulnerability backlog are measurably down, detection reflects our real risks, third-party review is fast enough that nobody routes around it, and the standard holds because it's built into tooling and shared judgment rather than into you

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

- ~8+ years in corporate/enterprise security or security engineering, including having owned identity, endpoint, or SaaS security as a domain rather than as a set of tickets

- Deep hands-on expertise with a modern IdP and with IGA or access-governance…
