The posting

A little bit about our team

Sureel AI is building the standards and infrastructure for AI rights, licensing, attribution, protection, and intelligence, starting in music and expanding across media.

We are building the infrastructure that enables creators and rightsholders to control how their work is used by AI, protect their rights, understand its use and value, and participate in new AI licensing models. We also provide AI companies and digital platforms with the systems they need to access rights, permissions, attribution, guardrails, reporting, and licensing infrastructure programmatically.

Acquired by Warner Music Group, Sureel operates as an independent, federated company, combining startup speed with the reach of a global music company.

Your role

We are looking for a senior software engineer with deep experience in backend, platform, DevOps, and MLOps engineering.

You will help build the technical backbone of the Sureel platform, working closely with AI Research, Product, and the rest of Engineering to turn advanced technology into reliable enterprise products.

This is a highly hands-on role. You will design architecture and write code, owning systems from implementation through deployment and production. You should be comfortable moving between APIs, distributed systems, databases, cloud infrastructure, ML workloads, enterprise integrations, and, when needed, the frontend.

We use frameworks, managed services, and AI tools to move quickly, but we expect you to understand what is happening underneath them. You should be able to reason about why something works, where it could fail, and what to do when an abstraction breaks down.

What you'll do:

  • Design and build scalable backend services, APIs, data pipelines, and platform infrastructure across the Sureel stack.
  • Own systems end-to-end, from architecture and implementation through deployment, observability, debugging, and iteration.
  • Build infrastructure for high-volume AI, media, attribution, search, retrieval, and enterprise workloads.
  • Work with our AI team to move experimental models and algorithms into reliable production services.
  • Build and improve our MLOps capabilities across model deployment, inference, versioning, evaluation, monitoring, and reproducibility.
  • Own and improve DevOps and cloud infrastructure, including CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, containers, orchestration, security, observability, and deployment reliability.
  • Build enterprise capabilities such as authentication, RBAC, multi-tenancy, auditability, bulk operations, integrations, and configurable workflows.
  • Make architecture decisions across databases, queues, caching, distributed systems, compute, storage, networking, reliability, and cost.
  • Work directly with Product and, when needed, customers or AI partners to turn complex requirements into scalable technical solutions.
  • Build internal tooling and automation that makes the entire engineering and research team more effective.

Who you are:

  • You are a senior software engineer with strong depth in backend and platform engineering and the ability to work across the stack when needed.
  • You have personally designed, built, deployed, and operated meaningful production systems.
  • You are highly proficient in a modern backend language and comfortable working extensively with TypeScript/Node.js. Python experience is a bonus.
  • You understand the fundamentals behind databases, networking, concurrency, APIs, distributed systems, queues, caching, cloud infrastructure, and failure modes.
  • You can go beneath frameworks and abstractions when necessary rather than treating them as black boxes.
  • You have strong cloud, DevOps, and production infrastructure experience.
  • You understand ML systems well enough to work effectively with model serving, GPU workloads, inference, data pipelines, embeddings, evaluation, and MLOps.
  • You use AI as part of your engineering workflow and look for practical ways to automate and accelerate your work.
  • You reason from first principles and enjoy working through difficult technical problems.
  • You care about the product and business outcome, not just the technical implementation.
  • You are comfortable in a fast-moving startup environment where you will have significant ownership and ambiguity.

Sureel AI is an independent, federated company within Warner Music Group. We're committed to building a diverse team and to fair recognition for creators everywhere.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
