At Kyndryl, we run and reimagine the mission‑critical technology systems that drive advantage for the world’s leading businesses. We are at the heart of progress; with proven expertise and a continuous flow of AI‑powered insight, enabling smarter decisions, faster innovation, and a lasting competitive edge. For our people—Kyndryls—that means doing purposeful work that powers human progress. Join us and experience a flexible, supportive environment where your well‑being is prioritized and your potential can thrive.

The Role

Kyndryl is looking for a highly skilled Azure Cloud & Terraform SME with strong hands‑on expertise in Azure Infrastructure, Terraform‑based deployments, DevOps tooling, container platforms, and automation. The ideal candidate will be responsible for implementing, managing, supporting, and continuously improving Azure cloud environments used for critical banking applications. The role requires deep technical expertise in Terraform, Azure services, CI/CD pipelines, GitHub, Kubernetes/OpenShift, and scripting, along with the ability to troubleshoot and resolve complex production issues. The candidate should possess a strong understanding of Azure architecture patterns, cloud design principles, networking, security, and operational best practices. However, this is not a Solution Architect role and does not require ownership of enterprise architecture or new solution design.

Key Responsibilities

Azure Cloud Operations & Engineering

• Manage and support enterprise Azure cloud environments.
• Deploy, maintain, and optimise Azure infrastructure services.
• Implement Azure infrastructure changes following security and governance standards.
• Support cloud onboarding, migration, and modernisation activities.
• Troubleshoot complex cloud infrastructure and platform issues.

Terraform & Infrastructure as Code

• Develop, maintain, and enhance Terraform modules and templates.
• Execute and manage Terraform deployments across multiple Azure subscriptions and environments.
• Review and optimise Terraform code for scalability, consistency, and compliance.
• Troubleshoot Terraform deployment failures and state management issues.
• Support Infrastructure-as-Code adoption and automation initiatives.

DevOps & CI/CD

• Build, maintain, and troubleshoot CI/CD pipelines.
• Manage deployment automation using Azure DevOps and GitHub.
• Support GitHub repositories, branching strategies, and release processes.
• Integrate infrastructure deployment pipelines with Terraform automation.
• Drive automation of repetitive operational activities.

Container Platform Management

• Support and administer Kubernetes and OpenShift environments.
• Deploy and manage containerised applications.
• Troubleshoot platform, networking, storage, and deployment‑related issues.
• Support container platform upgrades, patching, and lifecycle activities.
• Work closely with application teams on container onboarding and deployments.

Production Support

• Provide L2/L3 support for business‑critical banking applications and platforms.
• Lead troubleshooting of high‑severity incidents related to Azure infrastructure and platforms.
• Perform root cause analysis and implement preventive measures.
• Participate in on‑call and major incident support activities.
• Develop operational runbooks and knowledge articles.

Your future at Kyndryl

Every position at Kyndryl offers a way forward to grow your career, from Junior System Administrator to Architect. We have opportunities for Cloud Hyperscalers that you won’t find anywhere else, including hands‑on experience, learning opportunities, and the chance to certify in all four major platforms. One of the benefits of Kyndryl is that we work with clients in a variety of industries, from banking to retail. Whether you want to broaden your knowledge base or narrow your scope and specialise in a specific sector, you can find your path.

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 prioritises 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

• 8+ years of IT experience with Banking/BFSI customers.
• 5+ years of hands‑on Azure Cloud experience.
• 4+ years of Terraform implementation and infrastructure automation experience.
• Strong expertise in Azure DevOps, GitHub, CI/CD pipelines, and Infrastructure as Code.
• Hands‑on experience with Azure services including VMs, VNETs, NSGs, Load Balancers, Application Gateway, Storage, Key Vault, Azure Monitor, Azure Policy, Entra ID, and Landing Zones.
• Experience with Kubernetes, OpenShift, AKS, Docker, and Helm.
• Proficiency in PowerShell, Shell/Bash scripting, and Python (preferred).
• Knowledge of monitoring and observability tools such as Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Prometheus, Grafana, and Dynatrace.

Preferred Professional and Technical Expertise

• Relevant Azure, Terraform, Kubernetes, OpenShift, and DevOps certifications are highly preferred.
