- You have a valid passport and genuine excitement for international travel.
What You’ll Do
- Design, build, and deploy 3–5 major agentic systems per year using modern LLM frameworks and multi‑agent orchestration.
- Translate business requirements, SOPs, and operational workflows into production‑grade technical solutions.
- Work directly with store managers, FC/DC operators, and Home Office stakeholders to identify high‑impact use cases and validate solutions on‑site.
- Own the end‑to‑end system lifecycle — discovery → architecture → deployment → iteration — maintaining 99.9% uptime and <2s response times.
- Drive 70%+ adoption within target user groups through associate‑centric design.
- Travel internationally to support Walmart operations.
- Establish best practices for agentic development, prompt engineering, and LLM integration across the organization.
- Mentor cross‑functional teams, including data scientists, product managers, and offshore engineers.
What You’ll Bring
- Deep domain expertise in at least one Walmart business pillar (Supply Chain, People Ops, Procurement, Retail Ops, Health & Wellness, Real Estate, DC/FC Ops), with demonstrated experience optimizing operational workflows.
- Proven ability to build and deploy multi‑agent systems at enterprise scale — not just prototypes.
- Strong coding skills in Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or similar languages, with a commitment to clean code (SOLID, DRY, YAGNI).
- Systems design expertise: scalable architectures, API design, cloud infrastructure.
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to bridge technical and non‑technical stakeholders across cultures.
