About You

You are a passionate front-end engineer who loves to code. You love to take ideas and build great products with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. You know JavaScript is imperfect, but you embrace its functional side and genuinely enjoy coding with it. You might like to talk about obscure computer science topics, but really, you just want to write simple code and ship new products and features to customers (or improve existing ones).

You have an eye for design and user experience. You care about more than just the code. You care about the customer experience and help our customers make better decisions while shopping.

You love learning new things. You love researching new tech and driving forward with the implementation details. Your focus is on frontend JavaScript/TypeScript code, but you can dig in wherever needed. Node.js, GraphQL, NextJS Nx, build tools, shell scripts, you name it. If you don't already know it, you're ready to learn it.

You understand performance, A/B tests, web vitals, front end optimization and can write code to bring them to life too.

You love helping others. You love sharing knowledge with the rest of your team, building shared tooling for other engineers, giving back to the open-source community, and directly helping customers.

Things You will do

Walmart International is a diverse and fast-growing business unit, so you'll get experience on many different projects across the organization. That said, here are some things you'll do:

• Build reusable React components with Utility Classes like Tachyons, use react query to manage data, and GraphQL.
  
• Build cross functional Libraries to be used by web application teams.
  
• Measure and resolve performance bottlenecks, using tools like Chrome DevTools, Lighthouse, WebPagetest, or custom tooling.
  
• Refactor or improve existing code. We constantly find ways to improve all of our JavaScript code and you are all aboard.
  
• Work closely with our product, design, and UX teams to create amazing and intuitive experiences that make it effortless to connect different apps together.
  
• Help put tools, processes, and documentation in place to improve our code quality.
  
• Demonstrate technical expertise in solving challenging programming and design problems
  
• Review code written by other team members or other teams.
  
• Ship to hundreds of thousands of users every day while having lots of autonomy in terms of code and feature ownership.
  
• Help out with our Node-based developer platform.
  
• Share what you know and learn either one-on-one or with lightning talks to the group.
  
• Work boldly with a sense of urgency; embrace mistakes, learn from them, and drive the team toward success.
  

You'll make an impact by...

• Effectively translating requirements into project parameters while working with agility from cradle to grave.
  
• Helping cross-functional teams to solve for business problems and develop solutions that enable us to redefine a "best-in-class" customer experience.
  
• Encouraging the project teams that you oversee to work collaboratively and to aim for insight-driven outcomes.
