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

Platforms are what give a business its competitive advantage and reduce technical debt. Business users and developers use them to standardise and accelerate the delivery and operation of digital services. Without platforms, organisations duplicate effort at scale.

Here at Kyndryl, our platform engineers are central to our cloud strategy. They use software engineering to automate and codify the provisioning of IaaS and PaaS resources, to create a diverse set of business and developer platforms.

These platforms range from landing zones to operations tooling, providing a control plane and observability, to Kubernetes, API and integration, messaging,

data, DevSecOps tooling, to contact centres, CRM, ERP, data and insights, low-code, identity access and machine learning.

They are also experienced in new ways of working such as DevSecOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and Agile Delivery. They are at the edge of technology, working in cross-functional squads to rapidly deliver cloud solutions for our customers.

Your role will be to work with our customers in this exciting environment. This is also an amazing opportunity to learn and help Kyndryl transform from an infrastructure provider to a leading software-driven global system integrator.
