About The Team
Supply Chain Technology Team is responsible for building data driven highly optimized supply chain suite of products to manage the entire gamut of the supply chain lifecycle for our retail and ecommerce lines of business. With our rapidly increasing footfalls in stores and exponential growth in online orders; this all must be done to scale millions of owned and marketplace SKU’s complete inbound and outbound fulfilment lifecycles.
Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS) is an exciting and fast-growing business for Walmart that will allow thousands of sellers to leverage Walmart’s state-of-the-art supply chain capabilities, and benefit from our expertise to grow their businesses. Thor (initially part of Jet.com) is the Warehouse Management System (WMS) that has been chosen to be the backbone of WFS due to its cloud first design, agility, speed, and reliability. We’ve built a highly distributed system on the tenets of DDD and CQRS. We often deploy 100s of our “nano”-services daily. The entire codebase has been build using F# and runs on Azure cloud. We want to keep growing our functional programming skills and the paradigm is something we continuously advocate within the team and out. Our tech stack includes: Azure, Kubernetes, Docker, Event Store, Cosmos DB, Table + Blob Storage, Elastic Search, Kafka, Azure Queues, and more.
