Software Engineer, SI Model Delivery

SI Deployments Team PositionThe SI (Super Intelligence) Deployments team builds systems that enable rapid model iteration and dynamic deployment of SI onto end-user hardware platforms across Vehicle, Robotaxi, Optimus, and Digital Optimus.Our infrastructure is the fastest way to evaluate Tesla's SI in the real world. Our mission is to make it the standard — even faster, more robust, and seamless.Beyond speed, our systems are core to 24/7 Optimus model evaluation, reinforcement learning flows, driving vehicles autonomously off factory lines, and seamless deployment and model weights installation on Tesla products around the world.The team lives at the intersection of cloud services, build systems, on-device tasks, OTA infrastructure, SI model runtime, networking, and security.Your work will directly accelerate FSD and Optimus programs and set the new standard for how models ship to millions of Tesla vehicles and robots worldwide.ResponsibilitiesDesign and build high-impact systems — cloud, delivery, device — that together tighten the feedback loop between model training and real-world evaluation on target hardwareOptimize performance, cost, and robustness across deployment environments worldwide — factories, outdoor sites, and training clustersCollaborate with Firmware and Security teams to develop faster, more granular builds, enabling targeted updates, dynamic regional configurations, and rapid iteration without full reflash cyclesInstrument the metrics pipeline, dashboards, and alerts for complete visibility from device to cloudBuild systems that manage fleets of humanoid robots in production environmentsRequirementsVersatile builder with strong product instincts — able to navigate across many subsystems — cloud, build, device, inference runtime, networking (with depth in at least one)Ability to break down broad problems, solve them efficiently in the fast dev loop, then leverage that win across the production fleet and around the worldHands-on experience building production systems in Python, Go, and/or C++Solid foundation in concurrent programming, Linux systems, networkingBonus if familiar with connectivity hardware, modern build systems (Bazel, SCons), data center and/or distributed infrastructureCompensation & BenefitsBenefitsAlong with competitive pay, as a full-time Tesla employee, you are eligible for the following benefits at day 1 of hire:Medical plans > plan options with $0 payroll deductionFamily-building, fertility, adoption and surrogacy benefitsDental (including orthodontic coverage) and vision plans, both have options with a $0 paycheck contributionCompany Paid (Health Savings Accounts) HSA Contribution when enrolled in the High-Deductible medical plan with HSAHealthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)401(k) with employer match, Employee Stock Purchase Plans, and other financial benefitsCompany paid Basic Life, AD&DShort-term and long-term disability insurance (90 day waiting period)Employee Assistance ProgramSick and Vacation time (Flex time for salary positions, Accrued hours for Hourly positions), and Paid HolidaysBack-up childcare and parenting support resourcesVoluntary benefits to include: critical illness, hospital indemnity, accident insurance, theft & legal services, and pet insuranceWeight Loss and Tobacco Cessation ProgramsTesla Babies programCommuter benefitsEmployee discounts and perks programExpected Compensation $140,000 - $390,000/annual salary + cash and stock awards + benefitsPay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
