About the Team
Edge Services (ES) is a team inside the Edge Foundation org. ES builds UIs, APIs, and tooling to help customers configure our infrastructure.

Edge Foundation runs the HTTP infrastructure at Walmart, and ES is essential to making that easy and reliable for the tens of thousands of Walmart software engineers that use our products. ES helps internal Walmart customers (developers and operations teams) use the Edge Foundation platform by creating stable, intuitive APIs, simple and safe UIs, and clear documentation. ES is six software developers (you would make seven) and an engineering manager.
Edge Foundation is a remote organization with more than 80 people distributed all over the world. We collaborate heavily through chat (Slack), written documents, and video when needed (Zoom). We value safety, impact, ownership, and learning. We welcome diverse candidates and do not discriminate on gender, race, ethnicity, orientation, nationality, age, creed, etc.
