Software Engineer, Code Hardening & Framework Resilience, Robotaxi
About The Position
The goal of Full-Self-Driving (FSD) isn’t just to get it working — it’s to make it more dependable than any human driver could ever be. Miles-per-intervention is the key metric we look at to measure this, and our primary focus is keeping that number as high as possible while Robotaxi expands globally. Achieving this requires wiping out every bug as quickly as possible, regardless of how rare its occurrence on the road may be. When issues are identified, we must analyze why tests missed them, devise innovative detection methods through tooling, and rigorously stress-test fixes to eliminate vulnerabilities. In this role, you’ll be responsible for building critical program analysis tools (fuzzers, compiler instrumentation passes, run-time monitoring components, static analysis) to catch these bugs before they reach the fleet. You'll work with a lean team of experienced developers in improving code health, boosting fault tolerance, and enabling extensive end-to-end testing. These efforts will underpin system safety, driving Robotaxi’s scalability as a direct result. Take ownership of tooling software to preemptively find issues and improve miles-per-intervention
