Software Engineer, Infrastructure Programs

What to Expect

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.

What You'll Do

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

What You'll Bring

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
