About the team
Run Time Platforms (RTP), a division of Global Technology Platform (GTP), builds the core products and platforms that enable application teams to deploy, operate, and scale services consistently across Walmart’s runtime environments. RTP’s mission is to reduce operational complexity and accelerate delivery by providing secure-by-default, reliable, and standardized runtime capabilities—so teams can focus on building customer and associate experiences rather than reinventing infrastructure.
Within RTP, the Service Registry & Service Mesh team provides the foundational connectivity layer for contemporary distributed systems. We build and operate platforms that make it easy for services to find each other, communicate securely, and be governed consistently across clusters, environments, and markets. Our work underpins service-to-service communication for a large fleet of microservices and supports high-throughput, latency-sensitive workloads.

What You’ll Do





Lead the technical strategy and architecture for the service mesh platform (e.g., Istio or equivalent) across multi-cluster, multi-environment deployments.
Drive design and implementation of traffic management, resiliency patterns, and secure service-to-service communication (mTLS, authZ/authN, policy).
Build and evolve platform capabilities for onboarding services at scale (templates, golden paths, automation, self-service workflows).
Partner with application, SRE, security, and network teams to define standards for service connectivity, identity, and zero-trust posture.
Own performance, reliability, and scalability goals for the mesh control/data plane; define SLOs/SLIs and operational runbooks.
Establish observability standards (metrics, logs, traces) and enable end-to-end visibility across services and clusters.
Provide hands-on technical leadership for incident response, root cause analysis, and l
