The Role

As a Technical Support professional at Kyndryl, you will provide structured product-oriented support for a Kyndryl client’s embedded, real time, Linux, cloud edge, and platform software environments. The role provides Level 1 and/or Level 2 support, including case triage, diagnostics, issue reproduction, technical investigation, root-cause support, workaround assistance, case documentation, and escalation support within customer-defined support systems and communication standards.

• Provide Level 1 support by receiving and triaging support cases, collecting diagnostic information, identifying missing data, providing known solutions, communicating next steps, maintaining case status, and attempting issue reproduction.
• Provide Level 2 support by performing advanced troubleshooting, problem analysis, technical investigation, root-cause support, workaround development, and deeper issue reproduction across software, platform, and integration layers.
• Support complex customer environments, including lab, integration, platform, and certification-related contexts, where directed by customer processes.
• Document solutions, develop knowledge resources, mentor support engineers, and contribute to process improvement and customer success outcomes.
• Escalate defects, product issues, security concerns, or certification/compliance questions through approved customer-defined channels.
• Operate within role boundaries: do not make architectural decisions, product commitments, certification determinations, compliance assertions, security posture statements, or unauthorized configuration/code changes.

Who You Are

You’re good at what you do and possess the required experience to prove it. However, equally as important – you have the growth mindset; keen to drive your own personal and professional development. You are customer‑focused – someone who prioritizes customer success in your work. And finally, you’re open and borderless – naturally inclusive in how you work with others.

Required skills and experience

• 5+ experience is required.
• Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills across embedded systems, Linux environments, real time systems, cloud edge platforms, development tools, networking, and software integration.
• Ability to analyze logs, configurations, customer scenarios, reproduction steps, technical symptoms, and environment‑specific data.
• Experience with case management, ITSM tools, support workflows, escalation procedures, customer communications, and knowledge documentation.
• Familiarity with C/C++, Python, shell, Git, Kubernetes, containers, Linux systems, debugging, and embedded development tools.

Preferred skills and experience

• Experience in product support, escalation engineering, technical account support, embedded software support, or platform support.
• Exposure to Linux kernel, BSPs, device drivers, simulation tooling, cloud edge platforms, or real time operating systems.
• Experience supporting regulated customer environments where security, compliance, certification, export control, or data sovereignty guardrails apply.
