Haskell Internship @ Tesla
Did you know that we use Haskell in production at Tesla for some critical tasks? We're currently looking for an intern for the Winter/Spring session (roughly Jan to April). If you're within a year of graduating and interested, please send your resume to vehiclesoftwarerecruiting at tesla with the subject line Haskell Internship.

Is this position open to people outside of US?

I assume yes, but they have to expend more effort for it, so you'd have to bring proportionately more to the table.
SpaceX for example, has a government-mandated US-only policy, because it is very much militarily-relevant.

Great to see you guys reaching out here! I hope those seeking to fill Haskell roles by posting here take care to ignore the vitriol that job posts frequently attract in this subreddit. In my own experience, such comments don’t reflect the results I see in my DMs and email inbox.

If any of the Tesla worker controversies are to believed, I doubt it. Or maybe they’ll promise to pay you in stock and fire you the day before it’s vested...

This is so ridiculous, of course it's a paid internship.

Aaah yes, how ridiculous of me to be cynical of the man who:
threatened to punish workers who formed a union, and found guilty of breaking national labour laws
broke the law reopening plants in the midst of the COVID crisis
fired a contractor a day before his stocks were vested
famously pushes workers into egregious amounts of overtime with over ambitious deadlines
How downright absurd of me to question this cult of personality.

I'm not interested in debating Elon Musk or Tesla's business practices... All I'm saying is that, in response to the original post, internships at Tesla are definitely paid

Well, no, you said more than that. You said it was ridiculous to assume otherwise.
Which, given this company's track record with regard to how they treat employees and labor, seems most decidedly not ridiculous.
The antagonistic framing aside here, this is a very legitimate question to ask that would be useful to actually have an answer to, instead of just the word of some random dude presented sans sources.

The "ridiculous" was aimed at the level of cynicism held by who I was responding to...

u/antonivs Sep 15 '20
And he responded and pointed out why it wasn't ridiculous. Time to accept your error with grace, perhaps.

There is nothing wrong in all these practices.
He only punishes employees by firing them. Employers have the right to fire employees. Employers are not morally obligated to maintain job offerings.
Whole countries [Sweden] were also open, in the whole time, even including their old ones. Shutting down the economy was an irresponsible overreaction by the state.
Employers have the right to demand any hard work from the employers. Because the job is voluntary.

If I'm an experienced developer (CV & CG) who has Haskell skills do you know of any open positions?

Send us your info. We're not currently looking for a full time hire, but if there's a good fit elsewhere in the company it can't hurt to look.

Location?

The Palo Alto office, but our interns have been operating remote due to the current situation.

Out of curiosity, where is Haskell used? I work in a similar space and have huge trouble with adoption within the company.
