You have strong problem solving, analytic, decision- making and excellent communication with interpersonal skills. You are self-driven and motivated with the desire to work in a fast-paced, results-driven agile environment with varied responsibilities.

What you'll do:
  • Design, build, test, and deploy scalable, intelligent data solutions that support millions of Sam's Club customers-while laying the groundwork for Agentic AI systems that consume and act on this data.
  • Partner with engineering, AI/ML, and product teams to ensure data services are discoverable, trustworthy, and consumable by next-gen AI agents and LLM-based systems.
  • Collaborate across Sam's Club engineering teams to contribute to a data-first, agent-aware architecture and foster a culture of innovation around intelligent automation.
  • Engage with Product Management and Business teams to prioritize data products that will drive autonomous decision-making and context-rich recommendations.
  • Build features that enable seamless integration between structured/unstructured data and downstream AI agents, enabling smarter responses, faster insights, and automation.
  • Deploy and monitor products on cloud platforms with agent observability, telemetry, and auditability in mind.
  • Develop and implement best-in-class data health monitoring, traceability, and context enrichment processes to ensure data used by agents is reliable and governed.
  • Lead technical solutioning for full-lifecycle projects, with an eye on how data will power autonomous workflows, co-pilots, and multi-agent systems.
