• Design, develop, test, and maintain backend applications and microservices that support critical fulfillment workflows.
• Build robust, high-performing distributed systems using Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, Kafka, and cloud-native patterns.
• Review code developed by other engineers and provide actionable feedback to ensure engineering best practices, quality, and maintainability.
• Guide and support small groups of engineers, including offshore associates, across assigned projects.
• Troubleshoot production issues, perform root-cause analysis, and drive durable fixes to improve system stability and business continuity.
• Partner with business and product teams on operational support and data analysis related to solutions deployed in production.
• Drive improvements in monitoring, alerting, and operational readiness to identify and address issues before they impact business systems.
• Contribute to technical documentation and knowledge-sharing materials, updating content as products and platforms evolve.
• Support Walmart’s culture and values by maintaining high standards of integrity, compliance, and engineering excellence.

What You’ll Bring

• Strong experience designing and building complex distributed systems using Java and Spring Boot microservices.
• Proven ability to quickly understand new domains, grasp system complexity, and turn requirements into well-structured technical solutions.
• Deep hands-on experience with Kafka and event-driven architecture patterns in large-scale production systems.
• Strong experience working with NoSQL databases such as Cosmos DB, including designing for scale, performance, and reliability.
• Expertise in building high-performance, highly available, and scalable backend services and APIs.
• Solid understanding of service-oriented architecture, RESTful services, asynchronous processing, and multi-threaded application design.
• Experience troubleshooting production issues, conducting root-cause analysis, and implementing long-term corrective actions.
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms, preferably Azure, and modern observability and monitoring tools such as OpenObserve, Grafana, Dynatrace, and MMS.
• Ability to collaborate effectively across engineering, product, and business teams while mentoring junior engineers and driving execution.
• Prior experience in eCommerce or retail technology is a plus.
