- **Company:** Tesla Motors
- **Location:** Fremont, CA, United States
- **Salary:** $120,000.0 - $252,000.0
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Query Performance, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Next.js, Test Data, TypeScript, Network Routers, ReactJS, Backend, Material UI, Front End Software Development
- **Published:** August 25, 2026

## About the Role

* Strong React and TypeScript fundamentals, including production experience with Next.js
 * A track record of writing robust, maintainable frontend code in a production codebase
 * Experience building data-dense interfaces (complex forms, tables, or visualization)
 * Experience designing or maintaining a design system, component library, or shared frontend code that other engineers used
 * Experience with TanStack Query or an equivalent modern data-fetching library
 * Experience with the Next.js App Router
 * Familiarity with data adhering to the SAE J211 standard is a plus

## Description

You will join the application's tech lead on a small, high-leverage team. The role leans frontend (roughly 70% of the work), but it is genuinely full-stack - you will be expected to work confidently across the backend whenever a feature calls for it. You will work directly alongside vehicle engineers, translating their deep domain expertise into durable, well-designed software.
What You'll Do

 * Build features end-to-end, from modeling data and designing APIs on the backend to building the forms, views, and flows on the frontend. Established patterns mean you can be productive quickly
 * Extend our shared internal libraries that encode our engineering patterns, growing them thoughtfully as the application scales and applying them consistently across feature work
 * Institutionalize domain expertise by collaborating closely with vehicle engineers to translate their knowledge into durable, well-modeled software
 * Own quality across the stack, from schema design and query performance to component architecture and state management on the frontend
