Full Stack Software Engineer, Vehicle Test Data Platform

Tesla · Fremont, CA · 4 days ago
On-siteEngineering$120k–$252k/yrFull-time

What You'll Do

  • Build features end-to-end, from modeling data and designing APIs on the backend to building the forms, views, and flows on the frontend.
  • Extend our shared internal libraries that encode our engineering patterns, growing them thoughtfully as the application scales and applying them consistently across feature work.
  • Institutionalize domain expertise by collaborating closely with vehicle engineers to translate their knowledge into durable, well-modeled software.
  • Own quality across the stack, from schema design and query performance to component architecture and state management on the frontend.

What You'll Bring

  • Strong React and TypeScript fundamentals, including modern data-fetching patterns (TanStack Query or equivalent) and good instincts about where state should live – lifted, local, in the URL, or on the server
  • Production Python experience with a modern web framework and a real ORM (ideally SQLAlchemy); you are ready to do backend work, not just read it
  • Solid relational database fundamentals, including normalized schema design, joins, and query behavior – the database is the load-bearing core of this application
  • A track record of writing robust, maintainable, and scalable code
  • Experience with Next.js App Router specifically, and/or experience designing or maintaining shared code that other engineers depended on, such as a design system, SDK, or component library, is strongly preferred
  • Experience with Pydantic or comparable schema-first validation is a plus, as is familiarity with monorepo tooling or a background in engineering, scientific, or other data-heavy systems
  • You consult shared libraries before building from scratch, and you are pragmatic about abstractions
  • You are self-directed, quality-biased, and collaborative – comfortable working alongside domain experts and raising the quality of code that doesn’t look like your own without rewriting it for ego
