Job description

We are looking for a highly skilled Full Stack Engineer focused on security to design, develop, and maintain secure web applications and backend systems. This role involves working across the entire stack, ensuring that security is a foundational principle at every layer. The engineer will collaborate with product, design, security, and DevOps teams to create fast, scalable, and resilient systems. A strong understanding of secure coding practices and compliance standards is essential.

Requirements

  • Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field or equivalent practical experience
  • 3–5 years of professional experience in full stack development with a strong focus on security
  • Proficiency in modern frontend technologies such as React, TypeScript, HTML5, CSS3, and REST APIs
  • Strong backend development skills in Node.js, Python, or Go, with experience implementing secure APIs
  • Experience with database security, including SQL/NoSQL injection prevention and role-based access control
  • Hands-on experience with cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, or Azure and secure infrastructure patterns
  • Familiarity with containerization and orchestration, specifically Docker and Kubernetes, with security best practices
  • Experience with CI/CD security tools such as SAST, DAST, and dependency scanning
  • Understanding of security frameworks and standards like OWASP Top 10, NIST, and GDPR
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and a proactive mindset toward identifying and mitigating risks

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and maintain secure full-stack applications using modern frameworks and tools
  • Build and secure RESTful APIs and microservices with strict input validation and authentication controls
  • Design and manage database schemas with security in mind, enforcing least-privilege access and preventing injection attacks
  • Implement and maintain secure CI/CD pipelines with automated security scanning and policy enforcement
  • Integrate authentication and authorization mechanisms and enforce secure session management
  • Apply secure coding standards and conduct regular code reviews focused on vulnerabilities
  • Participate in threat modeling for new features and systems, identifying risks early in the design phase
  • Collaborate with Security and DevOps teams to harden infrastructure and monitor for anomalies
  • Troubleshoot and remediate security issues in production, including root cause analysis and patching
  • Contribute to security documentation and internal training on secure development practices

Benefits

  • Employees at Tesla are often offered day-one coverage with multiple medical options (some at $0 paycheck cost), dental/vision, company HSA contributions, a 401(k) match, and equity programs. Most roles also include paid time off and holidays, family-building support, employee assistance, commuter and childcare benefits, and access to discounts and wellness programs.
