Sr. Software Engineer, FinTech

As a Senior Software Engineer on Tesla's FinTech Team, you will be the hands-on force behindthe systems that monetize Tesla's global operations. Whether you are building real-timepayment gateways, architecting massive-scale reconciliation engines, or designing automatedinvoicing systems, your work will directly impact the company's bottom line.This is a builder's role. We are moving beyond legacy financial stacks to create an autonomous,AI-driven financial nervous system. You will face unique challenges in distributed transactionsand data consistency-handling billions in revenue from vehicle orders and Supercharging tothe emerging complexities of the Robotaxi fleet. You will also be among the first to bring AIAgents out of the "prototype" phase and into mission-critical financial workflows, directlyreducing the operational load for our finance and support teams.

Locations: Freemont, CA or Bellevue, WA

• Take ownership of core services within the FinTech ecosystem-spanning payments processing, financial reconciliation, or billing/invoicing-writing high-performance code that scales to handle global transaction volumes
• Architect robust microservices and event-driven workflows, making key technical decisions on data modeling, API design, and consistency patterns like idempotency in financial transactions
• Move beyond theory to practice by integrating LLMs and AI Agents directly into our stack to automate complex tasks like invoice matching, anomaly detection in ledgers, and support triage
• Maintain the health of your services in production using observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana) to ensure 99.99% availability and rapid incident resolution ("You build it, you run it")
• Raise the bar for code quality by conducting thorough code reviews, writing comprehensive tests, and mentoring junior engineers to help them grow their technical skills

• Expert-level fluency in backend development with a strong preference for Go (Golang) or C#, though we are open to other modern languages
• Experience building systems that survive hardware failures, with an understanding of concurrency, database locking, caching strategies, and eventual consistency
• Comfortable working with Docker and Kubernetes in a production environment, including configuring CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Argo) to ship code safely and frequently
• Practical experience or a strong personal interest in building with AI tools (OpenAI API, LangChain, Vector DBs) and a desire to make non-deterministic AI models reliable enough for financial data
• Experience with workflow orchestration tools like Temporal, Cadence, or Airflow is a major plus
