Software Engineer, Infrastructure Programs

As Tesla continues to vertically integrate our operations, Tesla's Infrastructure group is looking for a Software Engineer to help build the software backbone that powers how we design, execute, and deliver major capital projects — from concept through design, install, integration, ramp, and handover to operations.

As a Software Engineer, you will work closely with our Engineering, Construction, and Commissioning teams to build and scale a suite of internal web applications that connect data across engineering disciplines (electrical, instrumentation, mechanical) and the field. You'll own features end to end — designing data models, building APIs, and shipping polished, high-performance user interfaces that our engineers rely on daily to move projects faster and with higher quality.

• Build and own full-stack features using .NET, React, and TypeScript
• Design scalable databases and APIs to keep engineering data accurate and fast
• Guide technical decisions and architecture for a large, growing codebase
• Optimize performance across the entire stack—from database queries to UI rendering
• Write reliable, high-quality code backed by comprehensive testing
• Troubleshoot and fix production bugs, data issues, and performance bottlenecks

• Full-Stack Engineering: Deep experience building robust web applications across the full SDLC. Strong proficiency in C#/.NET and React/TypeScript (or comparable stacks), with modern frontend practices like state management and data-dense UIs
• Database Architecture: Solid relational database expertise (SQL Server/PostgreSQL, ORMs, query optimization). Experience designing zero-downtime schema migrations, live data backfills, and batch/streaming data pipelines (ETL/ELT)
• API Design & Integration: Proven ability to design, integrate, and document REST APIs. Experience connecting heterogeneous systems (third-party APIs, message queues, file drops) using resilient syncs, retries, and modern auth patterns (Azure AD, OAuth, OIDC)
• Quality & Performance: Strong testing discipline (unit, integration, E2E via Jest, Playwright, xUnit). Experience profiling and optimizing performance-critical tooling under heavy data volumes (memory allocations, query plans, render budgets)
• Cloud & DevOps: Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, containerized deployments (Docker), and cloud platforms (Azure preferred). Comfort working in fast-paced Agile/Scrum environments
• Applied AI & RAG Pipelines: Practical experience integrating LLMs into production applications, including prompt engineering, function/tool calling, vector search, chunking strategies, and retrieval-quality evaluation is preferred
• Advanced Distributed Systems: Deep knowledge of event-driven architectures and asynchronous messaging (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ) for handling high-throughput data, IoT integrations, or complex state synchronization across distributed systems is preferred

Along with competitive pay, as a full-time Tesla employee, you are eligible for the following benefits at day 1 of hire:

• Medical plans > plan options with $0 payroll deduction
• Family-building, fertility, adoption and surrogacy benefits
• Dental (including orthodontic coverage) and vision plans, both have options with a $0 paycheck contribution
• Company Paid (Health Savings Accounts) HSA Contribution when enrolled in the High-Deductible medical plan with HSA
• Healthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)
• 401(k) with employer match, Employee Stock Purchase Plans, and other financial benefits
• Company paid Basic Life, AD&D
• Short-term and long-term disability insurance (90 day waiting period)
• Employee Assistance Program
• Sick and Vacation time (Flex time for salary positions, Accrued hours for Hourly positions), and Paid Holidays
• Back-up childcare and parenting support resources
• Voluntary benefits to include: critical illness, hospital indemnity, accident insurance, theft & legal services, and pet insurance
• Weight Loss and Tobacco Cessation Programs
• Tesla Babies program
• Commuter benefits
• Employee discounts and perks program
