Overview
Position Summary... Responsibilities
Develop LLM-powered intelligent experiences that interpret and generate insights from both tabular and unstructured data. Build and optimize personalized Q&A systems using large language models, enabling context-aware responses tailored to user needs. Design and enhance conversational talent recommendation systems, combining autonomous agent architectures with personalized recommendation algorithms. Advance traditional recommendation systems by evolving them from simple ranked lists to multi-topic, interactive experiences that better reflect user intent. Construct multi-agent intelligent workflows that translate natural language inputs into complex, goal-directed task sequences. Collaborate within a cross-functional team, including data scientists, machine learning engineers, product managers, and UX designers. Partner with fellow data scientists to design, prototype, and iterate on AI/ML models and system architectures. Work closely with machine learning engineers to deploy, monitor, and optimize scalable AI/ML solutions in production environments. Collaborate with product managers to design intuitive user experiences, define feedback loops, and analyze user telemetry to guide product improvements. Engage in end-to-end AI/ML product development, from ideation to deployment, while continually expanding your technical and product skillset. Follow and help define robust development standards to ensure the creation of trustworthy, safe, and responsible AI systems. Contribute to internal and external AI/ML research through experimentation, whitepapers, and collaboration with the broader AI community. Minimum Qualifications
Bachelors degree in Statistics, Economics, Analytics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Information Technology or related field and 5 years' experience in an analytics related field. Masters degree in Statistics, Economics, Analytics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Information Technology or related field and 3 years' experience in an analytics related field. 7 years' experience in an analytics or related field. Preferred Qualifications
Data science, machine learning, optimization models, PhD in Machine Learning, Computer Science, Information Technology, Operations Research, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Econometrics, Publications or active peer reviewer in related journals or conference.

We value candidates with a background in creating inclusive digital experiences, and knowledge of accessibility best practices, including WCAG 2.2 AA standards and assistive technologies. Follow Walmart’s accessibility standards and guidelines for supporting an inclusive culture. Bonus Skills
Hands-on experience with Text-to-SQL or Text-to-Cypher based applications, or the design of modern recommender systems. Experience developing or fine-tuning large language models (LLMs), including prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), or open-weight model customization. Publication history in top-tier ML/NLP conferences such as NeurIPS, ICML, ACL, EMNLP, or ICLR. Compensation & Benefits
