About the Role
Walmart is looking to bring on a (USA) Distinguished, Software Engineer to join their team in an on-site setup. More jobs at Walmart and this executive-level position calls for a leader comfortable owning outcomes across several teams at once. If you’re ready for a new challenge with a team that values good engineering, this is worth a look.
As (USA) Distinguished, Software Engineer at Walmart, you’ll be accountable for outcomes across several teams, not just the output of one. This is a full-time position with the stability and benefits that come with a permanent role.
Role Overview
At this scope, success looks less like individual output and more like how well the teams underneath you perform. Core responsibilities include:
- take part in code reviews, technical design discussions, and sprint planning
- design develop, test, and maintain high-quality software features
- write clean, well-tested code and contribute to the team’s engineering standards
- work with teammates to break down large problems into shippable pieces
You’ll also be expected to hold a clear, credible line to the rest of the business on what engineering can realistically deliver.
Requirements & Qualifications
This is a leadership-level role, so we’re looking for a track record of scaling teams and delivering results, not just individual output:
- comfort working in a fast-moving codebase with multiple contributors
- strong communication skills and a collaborative, team-first mindset
- proficiency in one or more modern programming languages
- experience with version control, testing practices, and collaborative development
Not every requirement needs to be a perfect match — Walmart is as interested in potential and trajectory as in a complete checklist.
Location & Work Setup
This role is based in United States. This is an on-site position, with the team working together in person to collaborate closely on a daily basis. Specific work arrangements and any relocation details will be confirmed during the interview process. As with any on-site role, expect regular collaboration with teammates through a mix of synchronous meetings and asynchronous updates, so strong written and verbal communication matters as much as technical skill.
