About Team
GDF (Global Data Foundation) is part of Walmart's AI & Data organization - the team building the
foundational data platforms that power AI, analytics, and decision-making across every Walmart banner
and geography, from supply chain and merchandising to customer experience and enterprise AI agents.
Our newly created platform team is chartered with building next-generation data infrastructure at Walmart
scale: reliable, high-throughput data pipelines, distributed processing systems, and platform capabilities
that downstream teams across Walmart depend on every day.

What You'll Do :
• Design, build, and operate distributed platform services and APIs using Java and Python, applied
against Kubernetes or equivalent cloud-native infrastructure.
• Apply domain-oriented design, system design, and low-level design (LLD) rigor to ambiguous platform
problems - evaluating dependencies, trade-offs, failure modes, scalability, cost, and long-term
durability before writing a line of code.
• Flex into data engineering work when needed:



contribute directly to Spark-based data pipelines and
processing jobs, working comfortably in GDF's data engineering codebase alongside platform work.
• Build AI, GenAI, and agentic-powered platform capabilities: intelligent developer tooling, workflow
automation, agentic services, and AI-assisted operational tooling (monitoring, incident triage, capacity
planning).
• Own platform reliability, scalability, and observability - service-level objectives, distributed tracing,
alerting, and incident response for services you build, with a robust Operational Excellence /
Engineering Excellence discipline.
• Guide architecture and system design decisions across microservices, event-driven systems, and
enterprise integrations, with an explicit eye toward how platform choices affect downstream data
engineering workloads.
• Partner with data engineers, data scientists, and ML engineers to ensure platform servic
