About the Job

Requirements

At least 5 years of experience building production backend services in .NET/C#, Python, or Go, with willingness to work primarily in C#.
Working experience with React and TypeScript, including owning a feature's user interface as well as its API.
Solid SQL skills, including designing tables, reading execution plans, and explaining query performance issues.
Testing habits and comfort with Git-based review workflows.
Computer science fundamentals, including the ability to reason about data structures and algorithms.
Experience integrating LLM APIs such as Azure OpenAI or Claude into production backend services.
Experience with RAG pipelines, vector databases, or structured prompt engineering.
Experience shipping SI-assisted features in an enterprise application.

Responsibilities

Build and ship features end to end, including schema and migration, API, and UI.
Design RESTful APIs in .NET (C#), following controller-to-service-to-repository layering and using dependency injection throughout.
Build data-dense React interfaces in TypeScript using AG-Grid views, TDS components, Jotai, and React Query for state and server data.
Work on audit workflows, findings triage, and security group management for features with compliance consequences.

Job Description

<p>The Payroll System is the internal platform Tesla's payroll operations teams use to run pay cycles, investigate discrepancies, and satisfy audit and SOX obligations. We build the tooling that a real, named group of people opens every morning — short feedback loops, high correctness bar, and no ambiguity about whether the thing we shipped helped.</p>

Job Responsibilities

Build and ship features end to end — schema and migration, API, and UI — rather than throwing work over a wall
Design RESTful APIs in .NET (C#) following our controller to service to repository layering, with dependency injection throughout
Build data-dense React interfaces in TypeScript: AG-Grid views, TDS components, Jotai and React Query for state and server data
Work on audit workflows, findings triage, and security group management — features with compliance consequences, where "mostly right" isn't right
Write unit and integration tests alongside the code (see test/ — unit and integration suites are part of the definition of done, not a follow-up ticket)
Participate in code review, both directions

Job Requirements

5+ years building production backend services in .NET/C#, Python, or Go — with a willingness to work primarily in C#
Working React and TypeScript experience; comfortable owning a feature's UI, not just its API
Solid SQL: can design a table, read an execution plan, and explain why a query got slow
Testing habits and comfort with Git-based review workflows
CS fundamentals — data structures and algorithms you can actually reason about, not recite
Integrating LLM APIs (Azure OpenAI, Claude, or similar) into production backend services
RAG pipelines, vector databases, or structured prompt engineering
Shipping SI-assisted features in an enterprise app

About the Company

Tesla

Makes electric cars, robotaxis and grid batteries

Tesla makes electric cars and batteries that store power for homes and utilities, and it develops self-driving software and humanoid robots. In 2023, its Model Y became the first electric vehicle to rank as the world's best-selling car. Buyers order the Model 3 sedan, Model Y SUV, or Cybertruck pickup directly from Tesla instead of through dealers, and they charge on its Supercharger fast-charging network. It also sells Megapack and Powerwall batteries, runs a robotaxi service, and charges drivers a monthly fee for self-driving software that still needs their supervision. Tesla was founded in 2003, with Elon Musk as its lead early investor and a recognized co-founder, and it is based in Austin, Texas.
