Japanese Language Specialist

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

Japanese Language Specialists at Kyndryl are project-based subject matter experts – good at providing analysis, documenting and diagraming 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.

Act as a liaison between Japanese-speaking clients and internal technical teams, ensuring clear communication and understanding. Provide IT support, troubleshooting, and solutions for technical issues related to software, hardware, networks, and systems. Translate technical documents, reports, and user manuals from Japanese to English and vice versa. Participate in IT projects that involve Japanese-speaking clients, ensuring that requirements are well understood and met. Collaborate with cross-functional teams (development, network, and support teams) to deliver quality IT services and solutions.

Provide training to team members in Japanese as necessary. Assist in creating and updating technical documentation, ensuring they are accessible in both Japanese and English.

This is a project-based role where you’ll enjoy deep involvement throughout the lifespan of a project, as well as the chance to work closely with Technicians, and PMs. Whatever your current level of tech savvy or where you want your career to lead, you’ll find the right opportunities and a buddy to support your growth. Boredom? Trust us, that won’t be an issue.

Your future at Kyndryl
There are lots of opportunities to gain certification and qualifications on the job, and you’ll continuously grow as a Cloud Hyperscaler. Many of our Infrastructure Specialists are on a path toward becoming either an Architect or Distinguished Engineer, and there are opportunities at every skill level to grow in either of these directions.
