Position Summary...
Join Walmart Global Tech as a Staff Software Engineer and become the technical backbone of our cross-border commerce platform. In this role within our Growth Tech Marketplace organization, you'll design cross-service architectures, set engineering standards across squads, and translate complex business challenges into scalable, production-grade systems that power international trade at Walmart scale.
Our team creates reusable technologies to help with customer acquisition, onboarding, and empowering merchants, while ensuring a seamless experience for both of these stakeholders. We also optimize tariffs and assortment in accordance with Walmart's Everyday Low Cost philosophy. We not only create affordability, but we also deliver customized experiences for customers across all channels - in-store, mobile app, and websites.
What you'll do...
Lead Cross-Service Architecture & System Design
Own the end-to-end technical design of cross-border trade systems — including seller onboarding, order orchestration, compliance, and payments infrastructure — establishing reusable architectural patterns across multiple squads that are reliable, observable, and built to scale globally.
Set and Enforce Engineering Standards
Define and drive adoption of coding standards, testing practices, SDLC compliance (SonarQube, Snyk, Gatekeeper quality gates), and API design principles across CBT engineering teams — raising the collective bar through documentation, design reviews, and active mentorship.
Partner with Product & Engineering Leadership on Technical Feasibility
Collaborate with PMs and Engineering Managers to assess roadmap feasibility, surface technical risks early, and guide build-vs-buy-vs-partner decisions — translating ambiguous business requirements into well-scoped, executable engineering plans.
Own Non-Functional Requirements & Production Readiness
Lead production readiness reviews; define and own SLOs/SLAs for critical cross-border services; drive observability, incident response preparedness, and capacity planning across the platform to ensure resilience and uptime at Walmart scale.
Mentor Senior Engineers & Drive a High-Performance Engineering Culture
Actively mentor and grow Senior Software Engineers (L5); lead architecture working groups and communities of practice; champion AI-augmented development (Wibey, GitHub Copilot) as a team multiplier within CBT squads.
