About Team

GDF sits at the core of Walmart's AI & Data organization, building the foundational data platforms that make it possible for every team at Walmart — technical or non-technical — to build with trustworthy, well-governed, discoverable data.

- Drive the design and evolution of Big Data capabilities - data ingestion, transformation, quality, observability, and governance - at the scale Walmart's platforms require.
- Partner with product managers, data scientists, ML engineers, and platform/security teams to deliver reliable, well-governed data capabilities that enable downstream analytics, reporting, and AI/ML use cases.
- Lead pragmatic integration of AI and GenAI capabilities into th
