Principal Data Scientist: Associate AI experience

Architecting the Future of Agentic Retail

Walmart is looking for a visionary technical leader to spearhead the creation of autonomous AI agents that empower their global workforce. In this role, you will move beyond simple API calls to design sophisticated, multi-agent orchestration systems and conversational assistants that solve complex problems across stores, fulfillment centers, and corporate offices.

The Vibe Coding Tech Stack

You will leverage a cutting-edge environment optimized for AI-first development. Key responsibilities involve building end-to-end ML pipelines and agentic frameworks using:

• Orchestration & Logic: LangChain, Pydantic AI, and advanced RAG patterns.
• Infrastructure: Multi-cloud proficiency across AWS SageMaker and GCP Vertex AI.
• Core AI Research: Deep learning with PyTorch, NLP (BERT/SBERT), and reinforcement learning. The team utilizes the 'Element' LLM gateway, allowing you to ship production code rapidly through AI-assisted workflows while maintaining enterprise-grade safety.

Leadership and Innovation

As a Principal Scientist, you are more than an individual contributor; you are a mentor and a strategist. You will define the evaluation frameworks for agentic performance and establish the standards for how autonomous systems are deployed. This is a high-impact opportunity to influence the long-term AI roadmap of a Fortune 1 company while raising the technical bar for senior engineering talent.
