First-party retail data platform turning Walmart's customer insights into B2B products

The company is hiring heavily into data roles (14 open positions) while adopting RAG—signaling investment in LLM-powered insight generation to address their stated challenge of scaling LLM services. Project work spans both internal retail optimization (Walmart Luminate, membership program) and merchant-facing B2B data products, suggesting a two-sided business model.
