Golang Developer

Manager wants a practical, production-level Go engineer who can code live, design scalable distributed systems, and clearly demonstrate real ownership and system-level thinking.

• Solid backend engineer
• Writes working Go code live
• Understands concurrency + distributed systems
• Can explain scale with real numbers
• Shows clear ownership + decision-making
• Thinks through edge cases + architecture
• Performs well under pressure

Project Description

• The work is focused on building shared technical systems and tools that multiple Tesla teams can use.

• Examples discussed in the meeting include:

• Creating centralized infrastructure (e.g., workflow/orchestration tooling like Temporal)
• Building systems that support scalability, reliability, and high traffic
• Developing platform capabilities (e.g., improving communication layers like moving from REST to gRPC)

Overall project focus:

• Platform / infrastructure engineering
• Distributed systems
• Reusable tooling across multiple teams and domains
• Supporting customer-facing flows indirectly by improving backend systems, * Design, develop, and maintain backend services and APIs using Golang
• Build and support web applications and messaging-based systems (MQ / event-driven architecture)
• Develop high-performance, scalable applications optimized for reliability and speed

• Participate in the full software lifecycle:

• Development
• Build and deployment
• Monitoring and alerting

• Work with DevOps pipelines to:

• Build and deploy applications
• Consume services across environments
• Ensure smooth production releases
• Deploy and manage applications in Kubernetes-based environments
• Monitor live systems, troubleshoot issues, and optimize performance
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (frontend, DevOps, product)

• Strong Golang (Go) experience

• This is the primary language for the team

• Backend engineering expertise

• Building APIs / web services

• System design capability

• Especially for scalable, distributed systems

• Distributed systems experience

• Thinking in terms of scale, availability, and reliability
• Kubernetes + CI/CD experience

• Experience with:

• Databases (both SQL fundamentals + NoSQL exposure)
• Event-driven architecture (Kafka, RabbitMQ, etc.)

• Ability to:

• Build infrastructure/tooling, not just product features
• Work in high-traffic environments

Additional Qualifications (Nice to Haves) Nice-to-Haves (Strong Value Adds)

• LLM / AI experience

• Not required but highly desired given current initiatives

• Experience with:

• ArgoCD, Helm
• Distributed caching
• Infrastructure/platform tooling

• Exposure to:

• gRPC or modern service communication patterns
• Strong NoSQL experience (especially MongoDB)
• Experience working across multiple domains/teams

• $114,600-234,600 per year
