Job description

At Kyndryl, we design, build, manage and modernize the mission-critical technology systems that the world depends on every day. 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.

As an Agentic AI Data Scientist at Kyndryl, you’ll help shape the future of advanced Agentic AI while working with a team that’s leading the industry. We're solving real-world problems at a massive scale — powered by creativity, precision, and a shared obsession with what’s next.

You’ll be part of a team shaping the future of Agentic AI - architecting and scaling a next-gen open-source framework that powers autonomous systems across industries. We're not just talking innovation - we're building it. Fast.

Our culture is tech-first, action-oriented: Think in code. Rapid demo cycles, collaborative peer pairing, and framework rollouts in weeks. We offer a true builder’s environment: Collaborate with top-tier talent (most of the team holds PhDs). Everyone contributes equally — ideas over titles.

What You’ll Do

• Serve as the bridge between deep technical work and business transformation, solving meaningful challenges through Agentic AI.
• Work on a modular, open-source Agentic AI framework - integrating GenAI and real-world tools.
• Develop, train, and deploy intelligent agents using tools like Python, Azure ML, focused on dynamic, self-improving systems.
• Translate business needs into data science problems with autonomy - then rapidly experiment, build, and deploy solutions that scale.
• Co-own the evolution of the Agentic AI framework - not just code, but also architecture, design, product thinking, and client success.
• Mentor and inspire a new generation of researchers and developers - from PhD students to business leaders - with your contributions credited and published.

Who You Are

Mandatory qualifications include:

• PhD or equivalent research experience in computer science, mathematics, AI, or a related field
• Hands-on Agentic AI / GenAI engineering exposure - building or contributing to frameworks, not just using APIs
• Strong programming fluency (Python) and architectural design (e.g., microservice ecosystems, message brokers)

Desirable skills include:

• Ability to operate independently and collaborate within a high-trust, low-hierarchy team
• Contributions to academic/technical communities and shaping open-source projects
• Certifications in Azure, AWS, or Google ML platforms
• Demonstrated contributions to graph theory, DevOps, or distributed systems

Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

Diversity is a whole lot more than what we look like or where we come from, it’s how we think and who we are. We welcome people of all cultures, backgrounds, and experiences.

What You Can Expect

With state-of-the-art resources and Fortune 100 clients, every day is an opportunity to innovate, build new capabilities, new relationships, new processes, and new value. Kyndryl cares about your well-being and prides itself on offering benefits that give you choice, reflect the diversity of our employees and support you and your family through the moments that matter.
