Data Source Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Position Summary...What you'll do...The Decision Science End-to-End (E2E) team serves Walmart Enterprise Operations. We collaborate across multiple business areas to accelerate data-driven decisions and build lasting analytical capabilities. Strong data foundations are at the core of how we work: we invest in getting the modeling, pipeline design, and data quality right, because everything our partners depend on is built on top of that layer. We are a lean team, and every member is expected to wear multiple hats. On any given week you might be identifying a new data source, building a pipeline, validating a data model, or walking a business partner through a result. We pride ourselves on full ownership and build partner relationships grounded in trust. Our partners count on us not just to deliver; we speak up when something needs to change, before they have to ask. Your Opportunity We are seeking a talented and experienced Data Engineer III to join our team. The ideal candidate brings deep experience building reliable data pipelines, designing databases and data models, and transforming raw data into trusted, performant assets that business stakeholders depend on daily. You understand that strong data foundations are not a starting point you move past, they are what you protect and build on throughout your career. As part of Decision Science E2E, you will contribute across the full data lifecycle, from source identification and modeling to pipeline engineering and stakeholder communication. You will be challenged with complex, ambiguous business problems and collaborate with multiple stakeholders to solve them, gaining a unique perspective on what it takes to operate one of the world's largest retailers. Your ResponsibilitiesYour Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field; or 5+ years of hands-on Data Engineering experience in a production environment.
• SQL & Query Excellence: You hold SQL to an extremely high standard: writing performant, readable, well-structured queries and optimizing the work of others. You treat every query as production code. SQL is a core data foundation skill and you treat it accordingly.
• Relational Database Depth: Solid experience designing and working with relational databases (e.g., SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or equivalent). Schema design, indexing strategies, relationships, and stored procedures are second nature to you.
• Big Data & Cloud Platforms: Hands-on experience with large-scale data processing on a major cloud platform (e.g., GCP, or Azure). Familiarity with distributed query engines, object storage, and cloud-native data tools (e.g., BigQuery, Spark, Databricks, Hive, or equivalents).
• Pipeline Orchestration: Experience designing and maintaining scheduled, dependency-aware data workflows. Proficiency with orchestration tooling such as Airflow, dbt, SSIS, or similar, including retry logic, failure handling, and SLA monitoring.
• Programming: Proven track record building production-quality code in at least one programming language (e.g., Python, Java, Scala, C#, or equivalent). Code is clean, testable, and maintainable.
• Data Modeling & Migration: Skilled in translating business requirements into physical data models. Comfortable with data migration strategies, schema evolution, and integration design.
• Versatility and Range: Comfortable contributing across the full data lifecycle, not just one layer of the stack. You step into what needs doing, build context quickly in unfamiliar areas, and do not wait for a perfect handoff before moving work forward.
• Ownership Mindset: You hold yourself and your work to an extremely high standard. You proactively identify problems, drive solutions to completion, and take full accountability for what you ship, from source to dashboard.
• Communication & Collaboration: Highly effective at distilling complex data concepts for non-technical audiences. Skilled in negotiation, facilitation, and building consensus across teams you don't directly control. Strong presentation skills and the ability to influence without authority.
