Job description

The Role

Infrastructure Specialists at Kyndryl are project‑based subject matter experts in all things infrastructure – good at providing analysis, documenting and diagramming work for hand‑off, offering timely solutions, and generally “figuring it out.” This is a hands‑on role where your feel for the interaction between a system and its environment will be invaluable to every one of your clients.

• Design, develop, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions
• Create reusable GitHub workflows and custom actions
• Automate application build, testing, and deployment processes
• Integrate GitHub Actions with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP)
• Manage and optimize self‑hosted and GitHub‑hosted runners
• Implement security best practices (secrets management, access control)
• Collaborate with development, QA, and operations teams to streamline releases
• Troubleshoot and optimize CI/CD pipeline performance
• Document workflows and CI/CD processes for standardization
• Ensure compliance with enterprise security and governance policies. You’ll be involved early to offer solutions, help decide whether something can be done, and identify the technical and timeline risks up front.

This role involves deep involvement throughout the lifespan of a project, working closely with Architects, Technicians, and PMs. It offers growth opportunities and collaboration across teams.
