The Role

At Kyndryl, we run and reimagine the mission-critical technology systems that drive advantage for the world’s leading businesses. We are at the heart of progress; with proven expertise and a continuous flow of AI-powered insight, enabling smarter decisions, faster innovation, and a lasting competitive edge. For our people—Kyndryls that means doing purposeful work that powers human progress. Join us and experience a flexible, supportive environment where your well-being is prioritized and your potential can thrive.

We are looking for a proactive infrastructure professional who enjoys solving complex problems, working across teams, and improving the reliability and efficiency of enterprise platforms.

This role is not focused on a single technology. Instead, you will be responsible for the lifecycle, modernization, automation, and operational excellence of platforms that support network operations, observability, identity services, and infrastructure management.

Success in this role requires strong technical skills, but equally important is the ability to understand business impact, navigate ambiguity, identify risks early, and drive solutions across multiple stakeholders.

What You will do

You will be responsible for the health, modernization, automation, and continuous improvement of critical infrastructure platforms supporting network operations, observability, identity services, and enterprise infrastructure management.

There are two halves to this role: First, contributing to current projects where you analyze problems and tech issues, offer solutions, and test, modify, automate, and integrate systems. And second, beyond project delivery, you will help shape the future of the platforms and services under your responsibility. This role isn’t specific to any one platform, so you’ll need a good feel for all of them. And because of this, you’ll experience variety and growth at Kyndryl that you won’t find anywhere else.

You will often be involved at the earliest stages of a project, helping determine not only how something can be done, but whether it should be done and what risks need to be considered before execution begins.

Responsibilities include:

• Evaluating technical challenges and determining the best path forward.
• Analyzing business, operational, and technical requirements.
• Identifying technical, operational, and timeline risks early in the project lifecycle.
• Designing, testing, integrating, and automating solutions across multiple platforms.
• Supporting application onboarding, migrations, upgrades, and platform transformations.
• Contributing to platform integrations using APIs, automation frameworks, and Infrastructure as Code principles.
• Defining platform roadmaps and modernization strategies.
• Driving continuous improvement initiatives that enhance reliability, scalability, security, and operational efficiency.
• Managing platform lifecycle activities, including upgrades, migrations, vendor support, and decommissioning.
• Improving automation capabilities and reducing operational complexity.
• Supporting compliance, audit, vulnerability remediation, and security initiatives.
• Working with leadership and partnering teams to ensure technology investments align with business objectives.

What Success Looks Like

Successful candidates are not defined by expertise in a single technology.

They are proactive problem solvers who:

• Take ownership of outcomes, not just tasks.
• Are comfortable navigating ambiguity and complex environments.
• Build strong relationships across technical and business teams.
• Think strategically while remaining hands-on when needed.
• Balance technical excellence with operational and business priorities.
• Continuously seek opportunities to improve platforms, processes, and customer outcomes.

You will succeed in this role if you can see the bigger picture, connect technology decisions to business impact, and help teams move from problems to solutions.

Who You Are

You’re good at what you do and possess the required experience to prove it. However, equally as important, you have a growth mindset; keen to drive your own personal and professional development. You’re open and borderless, naturally inclusi
