Fullstack Software Engineer

Junior DeveloperAs a junior developer on our team, you'll help build a system that connects product design and supply chain reality in a meaningful way. Our goal is to ensure design teams have reliable, up-to-date insight into cost, quality and supply chain risk early in the design process, so that informed decisions can be made from day one. At the same time, we are extending Tesla's system involvement beyond direct suppliers, building visibility and influence across multiple layers of the sub-tier supply chain to create a more resilient and secure ecosystem. To solve problems at this scale, we actively explore advanced technologies, including AI, not as an end in itself, but as a tool to fundamentally rethink how a global enterprise designs and operates its supply chain.ResponsibilitiesWork closely with design, product and supply chain partners to understand problems holistically and contribute to shared outcomesDesign and develop modules with a clear understanding of goals, tradeoffs and user impact—not just implementation detailsApply skills not only in software engineering, but also business judgement and system integration to increase overall impactTake initiative to suggest thoughtful improvements while reliably delivering assigned workLearn how adjacent teams operate and help connect requirements, constraints and solutions across functionsWrite clean, maintainable and well-tested code that follows best practices and supports long-term scalabilityRequirementsDemonstrated ability to build and ship non-trivial web applications using JavaScript, React, and modern frontend patternsExperience designing and implementing backend services (Python preferred), with an understanding of APIs, data flow, and basic system boundariesHands-on experience working with relational databases (MSSQL or PostgreSQL), including schema awareness and query optimization basicsStrong curiosity for complex, real-world systems and the discipline to reason about tradeoffs, constraints, and failure modesAbility to break down ambiguous business problems into well-scoped, modular engineering solutions and iterate on them with feedbackCompensation & 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 $120,000 - $252,000/annual salary + cash and stock awards + benefitsPay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
