The Customer Connection

Grocery shopping. American’s favorite pastime. The joys of making your weekly list, getting in the car, sitting in traffic, finding a parking space, walking up and down the aisle, standing in the checkout lines, loading up your car, and finally heading home.

Sound daunting? Well it is. Especially when the average person takes a trip to the grocery store 1.6 times a week and spends 43 minutes shopping. Do the math on that, and you’re looking at 60 hours of grocery shopping in a year.

Imagine if that time could be reclaimed, providing you with the freedom to focus on the things that matter most to you. That’s what Walmart Labs aims to do: build a solution to help save customers time.

Walmart, America’s Largest Grocery

With over 4,700 store in the U.S. alone, Walmart gives 90% of American’s access to a store within a 10 mile radius of their home. Combine that with over 2000 stores providing curb side grocery pickup, Walmart is helping customers eliminate the time-consuming chore of physical grocery shopping to 40% of the nation.

Changing the Way the World Shops

Walmart has made the decision to expand its development footprint in the Southern California area and hire a full end to end team focused on building a brand new online grocery experience.

The team will be made of full stack engineers, focused on both web and native app development, using react and react native. An innovation team of user experience, product managers, data analysis, and program managers geared to push the creative boundaries and create a personalized online grocery and pickup experience.

If you are looking for an opportunity to work at Walmart scale, building solutions that serve over 270M weekly customers, come join the Walmart Labs — Carlsbad team!
