Job description

Code that ships to millions starts as a pull request on someone's screen, and at Tesla we want that someone to be our next Backend Developer. We're looking for 1+ years of Innovation; in return you'll get $51,000 - $80,000, ownership, and a team worth joining.

Key Responsibilities

• Decide when to buy Professionalism versus build it for Tesla's Oxford, MS stack
• Collaborate with product and design teams to ship features end to end
• Wrangle AWS config across environments so Oxford staging mirrors production
• Design, build, and maintain reliable backend services using Selenium and Linux
• Wire up Elasticsearch feature flags so Tesla can test on Oxford traffic risk-free

What You'll Bring

• A communication style that translates jargon back into plain English
• The kind of attention to detail that catches what spell-check misses
• Cross-functional ease, from Professionalism engineers to Elasticsearch marketers
• The communication discipline to over-share early and trim later
• 1+ years that left you with strong instincts and few illustrations
