Walmart Reveals Salary Ranges for Key Roles in Tech and Management
In a recent disclosure of federal filings, Walmart has unveiled the average salary ranges for several key roles within the company, particularly in tech and management positions.
The data, based on 1,750 filings submitted to the U.S. Department of Labor in early 2025 related to H-1B visa employment disclosures, reflects the salaries offered to highly skilled workers in specialty roles.
Here's a breakdown of the salary ranges for some of these roles:
| Role | Salary Range (USD) | |---------------------------------|-------------------------| | Distinguished Architect | $184,827 to $338,000 | | Senior Product Manager | $121,000 to $286,000 | | Product Manager (general staff) | $136,500 to $286,000 | | Senior Design Researcher | $142,002 to $234,000 | | User Experience Design Senior Manager | $183,227 to $286,000 | | Software Engineering Director | $190,486 to $312,000 | | Software Engineers (top) | Up to $286,000 | | Data Scientists | $138,333 to $286,000 |
Walmart's software engineers' salaries are in line with other tech giants like Amazon and Microsoft but below the highest pay levels at Meta and Google.
When it comes to store-level staff and lower-tier management positions, the available data is not as comprehensive. Walmart has been actively restructuring some corporate and assistant market manager roles, but detailed salaries for those roles were not disclosed in the filings.
The median Walmart employee made $29,469, according to Walmart's annual proxy statement. This is significantly lower than the top-tier salaries revealed in the filings.
Walmart's revenue last year was $681 billion, beating Amazon's revenue of $638 billion across the same period to become the world's biggest company by revenue.
In terms of hourly wages, Walmart's store workers average close to $18 per hour.
The company's stock was up nearly 9% year-to-date at the time of writing, with a market value of over $780 billion. More than 75% of Walmart's 45,201 open jobs globally are for positions in Walmart stores and warehouses.
Walmart's global workforce has grown over the past few years. As of the end of fiscal year 2024, the company employed approximately 1.6 million U.S. employees and had about 2.1 million workers worldwide, making it the world's largest private employer.
