The Role
Do you want to build the backend services and APIs that power the ecosystem of Tesla Solar, Powerwall and Vehicle products to help accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy? We're looking for software engineers like you to bring your talent to our team and build the Tesla app together with us.

The Tesla App is used by everyone who interacts with Tesla products. Our team builds the mobile app experience for Tesla's Energy Products: Solar, Powerwall, Megapack and EV Charging at home. We also support a Fleet API for 3rd party clients to connect and use data from our products. The backend of the Tesla App is built with Go and works in concert with our cloud microservices and direct communication with our hardware.

The goal of our app is to make the concepts of renewable energy friendly, simple, and understandable for everybody, while also offering surprising depth for our power users. With Charge Stats, our feature for evaluating the cost of charging a Tesla vehicle we help owners understand the basics of EV charging, along with the money they saved by switching to an EV. We also help support utility grids worldwide with our Tesla Virtual Power Plant products that improve the stability of the grid for people who don't yet own Tesla products and unlock extra value for those who do.
