Site Reliability Engineer, Factory Software - Fremont [272320]

$140,000 - $210,000 yearly

Job Description

The Factory Software team at Tesla is building applications to enable manufacturing and warehouse management with a strong focus on reliability, availability, scalability, speed, and security. We are a diverse team of Controls Engineers, Software Engineers, and other disciplines working on automated manufacturing and warehouse processes.

This role sits at the intersection of infrastructure (Kubernetes clusters, VMs, servers, and databases) and the software applications running on top of them. As an SRE on the Factory Software team, you will own the reliability of the full stack — from compute and data layers to the middleware connecting factory equipment (including PLCs) with MES systems and other services. You will implement advanced monitoring and observability to detect issues before they impact production. Your mission is to make both infrastructure and applications more reliable, observable, and standardized by catching speed bottlenecks, database contention, and infrastructure problems early while driving best practices and tooling consistency across teams.

The Role

  • Design, implement, and evolve end-to-end observability and telemetry across services and infrastructure, including OTEL instrumentation, logging, metrics, and distributed tracing
  • Build and maintain robust monitoring using Prometheus, Grafana, Tempo, and related tools to proactively detect speed bottlenecks, database contention, resource exhaustion, and infrastructure issues
  • Define and track SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets; standardize observability practices, golden signals, and tooling across engineering teams
  • Implement effective, low-noise alerting systems and drive strong incident response processes
  • Collaborate closely with Platform, Infrastructure, and Software Engineering teams to embed reliability and observability into the development lifecycle
