Senior Data Scientist: Associate AI Experience

Architecting Autonomous Retail Systems

Join a high-impact team dedicated to transforming the daily experience of millions of associates through sophisticated AI orchestration. In this role, you will move beyond experimental scripts to build and deploy production-scale autonomous agents and multi-agent systems. You'll be responsible for the full lifecycle of AI development—from designing robust data pipelines and feature stores to implementing reinforcement learning models that optimize operations across a global supply chain.

Modern Tech Stack & Vibe-Driven Workflow

Walmart is leaning into the future of development by seeking experts who can ship production systems via AI-assisted workflows. You will leverage a cutting-edge ecosystem including LangChain, Pydantic AI, and RAG patterns to create intelligent conversational assistants and predictive agents. The environment is built for rapid iteration, using internal LLM gateways and containerized deployment with Docker and Kubernetes to ensure your 'vibe-coded' solutions scale effectively.

Leadership and Innovation

As a senior individual contributor, you will provide the technical vision for how agentic AI and simulation are integrated into the company's long-term strategy. Beyond coding, you will establish evaluation frameworks for agent performance, mentor other scientists in advanced modeling techniques, and translate complex statistical results into clear business roadmaps for executive leadership. This is a premier opportunity to apply high-level AI prompt engineering and orchestration at the largest scale possible.
