(USA) Principal, Data Scientist

Lead the AI Revolution at Global Scale

As a Principal Data Scientist on the Associate AI Experiences team, you will move beyond traditional development to architect autonomous ecosystems that empower millions of associates. This isn't just about training models; it's about leading the technical vision for next-generation multi-agent systems and agentic AI. You will be responsible for the entire lifecycle of production systems, from initial simulation and reinforcement learning to deploying complex orchestration layers that solve high-impact business problems.

A Tech Stack Optimized for Vibe Coders

Walmart is leaning heavily into AI-assisted development, looking for leaders who can ship production-grade code through high-level prompting and modern AI tools. Key components of the role include:

• Agentic Architectures: Building sophisticated multi-agent systems using LangChain, Pydantic AI, and RAG.
• Cloud Agnostic MLOps: Scaling solutions across both AWS SageMaker and GCP Vertex AI.
• Enterprise NLP & Vision: Deploying semantic search and computer vision pipelines at an unprecedented volume.

Drive the Vision and Culture

Beyond the code, you will serve as a high-level individual contributor who mentors senior scientists in advanced modeling and AI-assisted workflows. You will define the standards for model validation and autonomous agent performance, translating deep statistical insights into strategic recommendations for senior leadership. This is an opportunity to prove that 'vibe coding' can meet the rigorous demands of the world's largest retailer.
