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 system design and low-level design (LLD) rigor to platform problems - evaluating dependencies, trade-offs, failure modes, scalability, and cost before writing a line of code, with support from Staff/Principal engineers on the most ambiguous or cross-team problems.




• Flex into data engineering work when needed: contribute to Spark-based data pipelines and processing jobs, working directly 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 reliability, scalability, and observability for the services you build - service-level objectives, distributed tracing, alerting, and incident response - with a robust Operational Excellence / Engineering Excellence discipline.
• Contribute to architecture and system design decisions across microservices, event-driven systems, and enterprise integrations, with an eye toward how platform choices affect downstream data engineering workloads.
• Partner with data engineers, data scientists, and ML engineers to ensure
