(ind) Staff, Software Engineer

Walmart Walmart · Retail · Bangalore, KA, India

Staff Software Engineer role focused on backend systems using Java or Python, leveraging Generative AI tools to accelerate development, code refactoring, documentation, and problem analysis. The role involves designing scalable solutions, improving issue detectability, automating tasks, debugging, and mentoring junior engineers on responsible GenAI use within a consumer-facing Sam's Club context.

What you'd actually do

  1. The primary responsibility of this role is to work on backend systems using Java or Python, leveraging GenAI tools to accelerate development, code refactoring, documentation, and problem analysis.
  2. In collaboration with product, engineering, and business teams, you will understand the problem space and design scalable solutions, using GenAI-assisted insights for requirement analysis, solution design validation, and impact assessment to improve application quality and stability.
  3. Along with driving quality engineering efforts, you will focus on improving issue detectability in lower environments by applying GenAI-powered analysis and automate repetitive/manual tasks using scripts and AI-assisted workflows.
  4. You will utilize GenAI for debugging, root cause analysis, and proactive monitoring, alongside hands-on experience with Kubernetes, logging frameworks, and deployment pipelines, to troubleshoot and resolve DevOps and production issues efficiently.
  5. You will actively contribute to microservices development, write effective and maintainable test cases enhanced by GenAI-based test coverage suggestions, and mentor junior engineers on both engineering best practices and responsible use of GenAI tools in day-to-day development.
