## About the Role

* Demonstrated ability to build and ship non-trivial web applications using JavaScript, React, and modern frontend patterns
 * Experience designing and implementing backend services (Python preferred), with an understanding of APIs, data flow, and basic system boundaries
 * Hands-on experience working with relational databases (MSSQL or PostgreSQL), including schema awareness and query optimization basics
 * Strong curiosity for complex, real-world systems and the discipline to reason about tradeoffs, constraints, and failure modes
 * Ability to break down ambiguous business problems into well-scoped, modular engineering solutions and iterate on them with feedback

## Description

As a junior developer on our team, you'll help build a system that connects product design and supply chain reality in a meaningful way. Our goal is to ensure design teams have reliable, up-to-date insight into cost, quality and supply chain risk early in the design process, so that informed decisions can be made from day one. At the same time, we are extending Tesla's system involvement beyond direct suppliers, building visibility and influence across multiple layers of the sub-tier supply chain to create a more resilient and secure ecosystem. To solve problems at this scale, we actively explore advanced technologies, including AI, not as an end in itself, but as a tool to fundamentally rethink how a global enterprise designs and operates its supply chain.
What You'll Do

 * Work closely with design, product and supply chain partners to understand problems holistically and contribute to shared outcomes
 * Design and develop modules with a clear understanding of goals, tradeoffs and user impact-not just implementation details
 * Apply skills not only in software engineering, but also business judgement and system integration to increase overall impact
 * Take initiative to suggest thoughtful improvements while reliably delivering assigned work
 * Learn how adjacent teams operate and help connect requirements, constraints and solutions across functions
 * Write clean, maintainable and well-tested code that follows best practices and supports long-term scalability
