R-2403693 (usa) Senior Manager - Agentic Workflow Architecture and Simulation

Walmart Walmart · Retail · Bentonville, AR

This role leads the design and delivery of scalable, reliable agentic workflow systems that connect intelligent decision-making with real-world operational actions. The role will architect reusable automation platforms, enable safe testing and simulation, and partner with Global Tech to ensure production-ready, enterprise-grade solutions.

What you'd actually do

  1. Architect, Design and implement multi-step, multi-agent workflows with built-in state management, retries, escalation paths, and human-in-the-loop controls
  2. Build and maintain reference workflows and testing environments for development, simulation, and replay
  3. Architect secure, high-performance, and scalable distributed systems aligned to business objectives
  4. Develop tools for scenario testing, failure modeling, and workflow explainability
  5. Establish reusable patterns, standards, and best practices for agent orchestration and automation
