Job description

Who We Are

At Kyndryl, we design, build, manage and modernize the mission‑critical technology systems that the world depends on every day. So why work at Kyndryl? We are always moving forward – always pushing ourselves to go further in our efforts to build a more equitable, inclusive world for our employees, our customers and our communities.

The Role

Join Kyndryl — where creativity meets technology.

Kyndryl has a global network of designers, engineers, writers, researchers, and strategists. We are bound together by a desire to help our customers make sense of complexity and co‑create intelligent and adaptive experience ecosystems that resonate with their users and transform their businesses.

We believe the next evolution of experience will emerge from the artful blending of behavioral insight and business intelligence into elegantly simple, deeply human moments. We are fortunate to work with the world’s best IT experts to ensure that we can not only imagine a great experience, but that we can build it, deliver it, optimize it, and sustain it.

A Creative Technologist bridges the gap between design vision and engineering execution, using experimentation to solve problems in new and novel ways. This role combines technical expertise with human‑centered design to prototype and implement innovative solutions. Creative technologists blend expertise in code, hardware, and emerging technologies to bring ideas to life.

As a Creative Technologist at Kyndryl, you will:

• Collaborate with designers, engineers, and stakeholders to shape technical concepts aligned to human‑centered design.

• Rapidly prototype interactive, testable experiences to drive alignment, learning, and value.

• Apply emerging technologies to business challenges, including AI/ML/GenAI, IoT, and immersive interfaces.

• Lead feasibility analysis and ethical review of technology choices.

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 are customer‑focused – someone who prioritizes customer success in their work. And finally, you’re open and borderless – naturally inclusive in how you work with others.

Required Skills and Experience

• 3+ years of relevant experience

• Human‑Centered Design: Deep understanding of human‑centered design methods and mindset.

• Cross‑disciplinary Collaboration: Ability to unite design and engineering.

• Innovation: Application of new and emerging technologies.

• Rapid Prototyping: Creation of context‑appropriate, low‑to‑high‑fidelity digital and physical prototypes.

• Feasibility Analysis: Assessment of design’s technical feasibility, system integration, and implementation pathways.

• Storytelling: Ability to translate prototypes and technical insights into compelling narratives.

• AI and Data Ethics: Leveraging AI tools and data strategies with awareness of equity, bias, and transparency.

• Bachelor’s Degree in a relevant field (or equivalent demonstrable portfolio of work).

Preferred Skills and Experience

• Vertical domain experience (e.g., finance, retail, healthcare, industrial).

• Experience in both enterprise and agency environments.

• Knowledge and experience in IT infrastructure, architecture, and platform capabilities.

• Background in behavioral science, change management, or design research.

• Applied or academic experience with data science, AI/ML, or HCI.

• Advanced degree or certification in design, HCI, computer science, or related (e.g., MDM, MDes, MFA, d.MBA or equivalent) is a plus.
