Software Engineer, AI Platform, Vehicle Software

AI-Powered Technology Integration EngineerThe Integration Platforms team develops technology to support our ever-expanding customer fleet from prototype to production. We are at an inflection point — adopting an AI-first strategy to fundamentally transform how our tools are built, maintained, and scaled. A member of this team will build AI-powered technology that interfaces with our devices and accelerates engineering workflows across the organization, including Vehicle, Optimus, Autopilot and Energy software.You'll work on tools including our centralized AI platform that enables engineers across the organization to contribute to the developer experience, and MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that connect these tools to AI-powered workflows. We've built capabilities that let engineers dynamically query the fleet for real-time answers to questions like "show me a random sample of 100 cars currently driving at least 60 MPH with the windows down and the AC on," and systems to live stream data off any vehicle, anytime, anywhere in the world. You will contribute to AI agents that automate the software release cycle, triage driver feedback, and detect fleet anomalies. This is only a small part of what the team builds, and you'd help shape what comes next.ResponsibilitiesLead the design and development of AI agents to automate engineering workflows and orchestrate them from prototype through productionOwn end-to-end delivery of full-stack tools: drive front-end UI/UX, back-end frameworks and APIs, and the data and caching architecture that supports real-time querying and streaming across an ever-expanding fleetShape overall system architecture, including the interfaces between subsystems, and make the technical tradeoffs that let our systems scaleDrive the evolution of our AI platform and MCP servers so engineers across the organization can build and contribute to tooling through AI-assisted developmentOwn the full lifecycle and set technical direction spanning DevOps, product security, and validation of our software while partnering cross-functionally to identify workflow bottlenecksRequirementsBachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or the equivalent in experience with evidence of exceptional abilityProficient in Go and Python, with hands-on experience building full-stack applications using web frameworksExperience with backend infrastructure: relational databases, containerization, workflow orchestration, and stream processing/messaging systemsExperience or strong interest in building LLM-powered applications, with understanding of AI agent architectures and tool-use patterns such as MCP/ACPPreferred exposure to large-scale data processing/querying and analyticsStrong communicator and collaborator who thrives in a fast-paced environment juggling multiple concurrent projectsCompensation & BenefitsBenefitsAlong 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 deductionFamily-building, fertility, adoption and surrogacy benefitsDental (including orthodontic coverage) and vision plans, both have options with a $0 paycheck contributionCompany Paid (Health Savings Accounts) HSA Contribution when enrolled in the High-Deductible medical plan with HSAHealthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)401(k) with employer match, Employee Stock Purchase Plans, and other financial benefitsCompany paid Basic Life, AD&DShort-term and long-term disability insurance (90 day waiting period)Employee Assistance ProgramSick and Vacation time (Flex time for salary positions, Accrued hours for Hourly positions), and Paid HolidaysBack-up childcare and parenting support resourcesVoluntary benefits to include: critical illness, hospital indemnity, accident insurance, theft & legal services, and pet insuranceWeight Loss and Tobacco Cessation ProgramsTesla Babies programCommuter benefitsEmployee discounts and perks programExpected Compensation $140,000 - $360,000/annual salary + cash and stock awards + benefitsPay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
