Tesla is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to join our Payments and FinTech team, spearheading the technical strategy and architecture of systems that keep the lights on for the company. You will drive disruptive innovation in our AI-first transformation, architecting hyper-scale systems for payments, reconciliation, billing, invoicing, and accounts receivables that handle billions in annual revenue.

In this role, you will operate in various segments including fraud, disbursements, and visibility, while evolving our platforms to support Tesla's next era of Robotaxi and Optimus expansion. You will prototype with new technologies (e.g., LLMs, Agents, Temporal) and champion their usage to ease developer cognitive load and system operations. This is a high-impact role for a pragmatic engineer motivated to fuel Tesla's sustainable future through cutting-edge, autonomous workflows.

The Role

  • Design, develop, and maintain scalable and efficient payment processing and financial systems for Tesla's products and services, ensuring 99.99% uptime
  • Lead the architecture of core FinTech infrastructure, encompassing payments, reconciliation, billing, invoicing, and accounts receivables systems from 0 to 1 with an AI-first vision
  • Develop and maintain API integrations with third-party payment processors, banks, and other financial institutions to facilitate global market complexities
  • Identify and incorporate AI Agents and Large Language Models to increase automation in payments, billing, and reconciliation tasks, reducing operational toil
