• Design and deliver at Walmart scale — architect, build, test, and deploy cutting-edge automation solutions impacting millions of associates, customers, and stakeholders
• Own non-functional requirements end-to-end — define and enforce reliability, scalability, security posture, observability (SLOs/SLAs), and cost-efficiency across the systems you architect
• Drive cross-org alignment — build consensus across Walmart engineering teams and geographies through data-driven proposals, prototypes, and structured technical communication; influence architectural decisions beyond your immediate team
• Mentor and grow Senior engineers — accelerate the development of Senior and mid-level engineers through code reviews, design feedback, tech talks, and hands-on pairing; raise the engineering bar across the team
• Champion engineering excellence — establish coding standards, review processes, and platform patterns that are adopted across teams; proactively identify and drive reduction of systemic technical debt
• Lead multi-quarter delivery — drive end-to-end delivery of complex, cross-team technical initiatives from ambiguous requirements through to production, unblocking dependencies and making timely decisions
• Apply sound engineering judgment — lead build vs. buy vs. reuse decisions with a clear understanding of tradeoffs and total cost of ownership
• Develop and enforce security best practices — particularly around access governance, data privacy, and secure handling of sensitive legal information
• Champion innovation — stay current with emerging technologies, especially agentic AI and LLM-based workflow automation, and drive their adoption where they deliver measurable value
• Measure and improve — define well-scoped metrics and KPIs to track product, operational, and portfolio performance; use data to inform engineering decisions
