Sr. Fullstack Software Engineer, Cloud Platforms

What to Expect
Tesla Cloud Platform (TCP) is Tesla's internal cloud that powers VM, metal, storage, and networking at global scale across multiple datacenters. As a Sr. Full-Stack Software Development Engineer focused on VM as a Service, you will own and drive the control plane that enables Tesla engineers to provision, manage, and operate VMs at scale across Tesla's on-premise infrastructure.
This role covers the full stack from Go backend services, hypervisor integration, API design, database schema, and React/Next.js frontend. You will be building the platform that Tesla engineers use to manage their infrastructure.

What You’ll Do

• Own and develop core VM as a Service backend services including VM lifecycle management, scheduling, placement, and resource distribution
• Build and maintain the hypervisor integration layer (VMware/v Sphere, KVM, or similar) for VM provisioning, cluster onboarding, and host operations
• Develop VM group templates, tenant management, and quota enforcement across project, tenant, and zone dimensions
• Build full-stack features using Go, gRPC, PostgreSQL, and React/Next.js for VM creation, VM group management, dashboards, and backoffice tooling
• Own the API layer (REST/gRPC) for VM endpoints
• Develop and maintain background jobs for state synchronization between TCP and the hypervisor layer
• Collaborate with networking, storage, DNS, and identity teams to deliver integrated provisioning workflows
• Participate in the global on-call rotation for production VM services

What You’ll Bring

• 5+ years of professional experience in backend development with Go (Golang), including distributed systems and API development
• Experience integrating with hypervisor or virtualization platforms
• Knowledge of VMware v Sphere is required and experience with KVM or similar is a plus
• Experience with PostgreSQL including schema design, migrations, and query optimization
• Strong experience with React, Next.js, and TypeScript for building production interfaces
• Experience with gRPC or similar RPC frameworks
• Solid understanding of distributed systems concepts: state synchronization, concurrency, and race condition handling
