$240k - $360k

Tesla

What to Expect We are seeking a highly motivated Sr. Staff Software Engineer with expertise in server-side and backend development to join our small, high-performing team. You'll build scalable software systems that power the manufacturing of innovative products like vehicles, superchargers, and energy storage solutions. The ideal candidate is passionate about crafting world-class software, has a proven track record in scalable manufacturing systems, and thrives in collaborative environments. Strong software engineering fundamentals, familiarity with manufacturing and controls engineering, excellent communication skills, and experience with technical feedback are essential.
What You'll Do
  • Deliver high-quality, maintainable code that addresses real-world manufacturing challenges
  • Lead end-to-end projects, from gathering requirements and architectural design through implementation, testing, and production deployment
  • Bridge communication gaps between factory floor equipment (e.g., PLCs) and high-level MES (Manufacturing Execution System) services
  • Mentor engineers and uphold global standards of excellence in software craftsmanship
  • Tackle problems across the stack, from debugging packet loss in PLC communications to ensuring data consistency in large-scale, globally distributed databases
  • Prioritize robust, production-critical systems with strong validation, monitoring, and support mechanisms
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Operations, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, and Supply Chain
  • Participate in on-call rotations (no more than once every two months)
What You'll Bring
  • Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related or equivalent experience
  • Minimum 4 years of professional experience (6+ years preferred)
  • Proven experience implementing large-scale projects in languages like Go, Java, C++, Rust, or similar
  • Strong understanding of backend development fundamentals, including SQL databases, networking, and security
  • Basic familiarity with frontend technologies (HTML, JavaScript, CSS) and at least one modern framework (e.g., React, Angular, Svelte) for full-stack integration
  • Proficiency in rigorous software development practices, including version control, code reviews, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and logging
  • Excellent interpersonal communication skills and a demonstrated ability to lead technical initiatives from concept to production
  • Familiarity with controls engineering concepts, manufacturing processes, and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). Hands-on experience with Ignition and MES systems is a plus
