In an online post, Suresh Kumar, EVP, Chief Technology Officer and Chief Development Officer, Walmart, says: “Global Tech is the fastest growing corporate team at Walmart and our technologists have a legacy of game changing innovations.”
“Today, Walmart Global Tech develops and manages the foundational technologies on which customer experiences are built, including cloud, data, enterprise architecture, DevOps, infrastructure and security.”
“We’re also a world class enterprise services organisation that develops solutions to help 2.3 million Walmart and Sam’s Club associates work and live better.”
This year, Walmart is focused on hiring cybersecurity professionals, architects, developers, software engineers, data scientists, data engineers, technical programme managers and product managers.
“Our growth includes entering new locations and expanding our presence in communities we call home,” Kumar comments.
