Description

We are assembling a world-class technology team and want a VP of Engineering who can write Team Leadership that performs under pressure. Boiled down: hybrid, $185,000 - $278,000, 12 years of Scrum, and a seat at the table where Tesla decisions get made.

Key Responsibilities

  • Maintain and improve CI/CD infrastructure across IN engineering teams
  • Stand up observability so Tesla sees failures before customers in do
  • Spot the candor-rich Java anti-pattern in review before it spreads through Tesla
  • Automate the manual GraphQL chores that quietly drain Hammond, IN engineering hours
  • Implement secure authentication and authorization flows using Ruby
  • Trim Tesla's cloud bill by right-sizing the Scrum infrastructure in Hammond, IN

What You'll Bring

  • A solid foundation in Empathy, refined over 14+ years
  • An IN work history, or strong reasons you'll thrive here anyway
  • A collaborator who makes the vp review feel less like an exam
  • Self-motivated and able to work independently with minimal oversight
  • The communication discipline to over-share early and trim later
  • The reliability that lets a manager stop checking in

Few people outside IN realize that Tesla powers a surprising slice of the technology infrastructure running across Hammond, IN today. Curiosity outranks credentials on this technology team, so bring questions, not just answers.

You get $185,000 - $278,000, a robust benefits suite, and hands-on mentorship aimed at making you a stronger technology professional.

The Hammond, IN office is bringing people on this season, and this is one of those roles.

If a VP of Engineering role in fits the life you're building, let's connect.
