(usa) Principal, Software Engineer- Agent Builder

Walmart Walmart · Retail · Bentonville, AR

This role focuses on building and deploying AI-driven agents using a low-code/no-code platform to automate complex business workflows. The agent builder will translate business challenges into automations by chaining APIs, triggers, LLM functions, and data workflows, iterating rapidly and owning solutions end-to-end. The success is measured by business impact (sales, cost, time savings) rather than the number of agents built.

What you'd actually do

  1. Use a low-code/no-code agent-building platform to build and deploy software agents that solve complex business problems.
  2. Translate business challenges into agent-driven automation by chaining together APIs, triggers, LLM functions, and data workflows.
  3. Rapidly iterate on agent design using natural language interfaces and workflow visualizers.
  4. Own solutions from start to finish—no handoffs, no dependencies—just results.
  5. Partner with cross-functional teams to understand upstream and downstream implications of automation.
