Jobbeschreibung

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

Are you passionate about defining how humans interact with the next generation of Artificial Intelligence? Do you thrive at the intersection of design systems and complex engineering? Then there’s a good chance you will love being a part of our Software Engineering team at Kyndryl, where you will define the visual language of our AI solutions.

As a Front End Engineer at Kyndryl, you will be at the forefront of designing, developing, and implementing the user interfaces for our state‑of‑the‑art AI agents. Your work will play a critical role in translating complex AI flows into intuitive, high‑performance experiences. You won’t just be building pages; you will be building the standardized UI toolset and adapters that allow our applications to scale consistently and beautifully.

You will be responsible for co‑defining AI‑native UI patterns, creating and implementing design tokens, and managing shared component libraries using React, Next.js, and TypeScript. Because our AI solutions require real‑time responsiveness, you will implement robust connections using Server‑Sent Events (SSE) and WebSockets. You will champion accessibility, ensuring all interfaces meet WCAG 2.2 standards so that our technology is usable by everyone.

As a valued member of our team, you will also own the "delivery hygiene" of the front end. This means you will architect and maintain CI/CD pipelines, manage versioning strategies, and establish contribution guidelines for the wider team. You will have the freedom to drive innovation in how we deploy features, managing rollouts and rollbacks to ensure maximum reliability. Your contributions will directly impact the speed and quality at which we deliver value to our customers.

Your Future at Kyndryl

The career path ahead is full of exciting opportunities to grow and advance within the job family. With dedication and hard work, you can climb the ladder to higher bands, achieving coveted positions such as Principal Engineer or Vice President of AI Software. These roles not only offer the chance to inspire and innovate, but also bring with them a sense of pride and accomplishment for having reached the pinnacle of your career in the software industry.

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 Technical and Professional Experience

• 10+ years of experience working as a Front End Engineer on complex, data‑rich web applications.
• Deep expertise in React, Next.js, and TypeScript, with a focus on building reusable, performant code.
• Experience creating and implementing Design Tokens and component libraries, bridging the gap between Figma/Design and Code.
• Proficiency with Server‑Sent Events (SSE) and WebSockets for handling streaming data and real‑time state updates.
• Strong understanding of web accessibility, specifically implementing and testing against WCAG 2.2 guidelines.
• Solid experience with Front‑End DevOps: building CI/CD pipelines, managing release strategies (rollout/rollback), and strict version control hygiene.
• Ability to translate designed flows and prototypes into pixel‑perfect, high‑performance client front‑ends.
• Fluency in German

Preferred Technical and Professional Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Design, related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience designing "AI‑native" UI patterns (e.g., streaming text effects, dynamic chat interfaces, generative UI).
• Experience with state management libraries (Redux, Zustand, or Context API) in complex applications.
• Familiarity with testing frameworks (Jest, Cypress, Playwright) and visual regression testing.
• Certification in one or more of the hyperscalers (Azure, AWS, and Google GCP).

That’s the Kyndryl Way.
