Software EngineerWe need super smart engineers to help us build one of the best engineered e-commerce platforms in the world. Our engineers combine creativity, curiosity, and drive to continuously perfect and revolutionize Walmart from the inside out. We are looking to bring more intellectually curious engineers who are passionate about technology in general. Walmart's environment runs an e-commerce platform on Microsoft Azure with many additional open source technologies and middleware.

While we have a good foundation of infrastructure as code/Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery, we need to invest more in our platform to support the growing team and to ensure stability of our services, which are now depended on by millions.We embrace continuous delivery; our servers usually get deployed about 50-100 times per day in multiple regions and our apps are pushed to lower environments after every commit. We are responsible for ensuring high availability and low latency for the billions of HTTP requests/events we receive every day.There is a lot to do and a lot of leeway to define a roadmap, but among other things, we would expect you to:Automate everything!

Based in Hoboken NJ (just 10 min from Manhattan), we are a shopping site on the relentless pursuit to build the greatest shopping experience in the world. At Walmart, we believe in bold. That means taking risks, asking "why not ", looking where no ones looked before and bringing it! Our engineers are utilizing world class technologies, to optimize the supply chain, remove unnecessary costs, sprinkle in some surprise and delight all while saving customers every penny possible and we're just getting started. At Walmart, we have worked hard to build a culture that stresses the importance of learning and sharing knowledge.
