Software Engineer
Company Name:
Walmart Labs
Software Engineer Position
Summary:
Do you like big data? Like really big data? Like multi-petabyte data sets with billions of rows? Do you like the idea of pulling, pushing, slicing, and dicing this data in real-time using using Hadoop, Hbase, Hive and more? Now let's add some intelligence to the mix using machine learning, data mining, and predictive analytics and shazam - you have the underpinnings of the newly formed Demand Generation team @WalmartLabs.
A large fraction of sales for the biggest brands on earth (Coca-Cola, Pampers, Reese's) run through Walmart. Which means that the data we collect is the most complete, accurate and reliable compilation of transactions - anywhere. So we sit at the intersection of big data, predictive analytics, and Walmart's trillion-dollar bottom line as we leverage multiple data sources and apply sophisticated machine learning and data mining algorithms to determine, in close to real time, how, when, where, and for how much we can acquire customers across the multitude of online and offline acquisition channels. By sheer nature of our sample size, @WalmartLabs is in a position do something that no one else can do: determine, with little-to-no variance, exactly who companies should target with their advertisements, and exactly how to do so.
Right now we are leveraging the largest scale retail sales data there is on the planet and building a large-scale system that can process hundreds of millions of events per day to connect advertising impressions, customers and store purchases - all to disrupt the $100B digital advertising business that we know today.
Software Engineer Job Duties:
