About the Team

Expo is Walmarts in-house A/B testing and experimentation platform, developed and supported by Walmart Global Tech Data Platforms to meet the scale and unique requirements of Walmarts web and mobile applications. It enables teams to run statistically sound, experimentally valid tests with low lifecycle cost, allowing for data-driven evaluation of new features and changes.

Expo is used across multiple Walmart customer-facing sites and apps, including walmart.com and international markets. The platform supports incremental rollout, risk reduction, and rapid iteration by letting teams preview, ramp up, or pause experiments as needed. The platform also supports real-time monitoring and provides exhaustive reports for tests.

We are looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead our experimentation and feature flag engineering team - a high-impact group responsible for building and maintaining the UI and control plane for multiple platform applications within Runtime Platforms.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You will be expected to engage deeply with the codebase - conducting code and design reviews, contributing to architectural decisions, and setting the technical bar for the team - while also owning the roadmap, planning cycles, and people development agenda.
