Cloud Architect

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

Cloud Architects are the key link between Kyndryl and our clients. You’re in a technical leadership role, uniting and guiding stakeholders from clients, governance, and project executives to delivery and sometimes even the vendors who work with the client. You’ll be there from the start of a project — understanding what’s needed and figuring out the best technical solution. And you’ll be there at the finish, delivering the right product on time and within budget.

As a Cloud Architect, you will be part of a highly focused, self-managed Agile team. Your responsibilities will include designing, implementing, and securing resources such as Azure Active Directory, Azure App Service Apps, and Virtual Networks. You will create and manage Azure Resource Manager (ARM) virtual machines, design networking and security solutions, and implement Azure Stack capabilities. Additionally, you will envision and deploy modern identity solutions like Azure AD MFA, Azure AD Conditional Access, Azure AD Privileged Identity Management, Azure AD B2B, and Azure AD Application Proxy. A passion for automating cloud provisioning using Azure PowerShell, Visual Studio, Python, Ansible, or Terraform is essential.

In our highly dynamic, squad-based environment, you will have the opportunity to work in a close-knit squad that cultivates creativity, challenges the status quo, and pushes the limits on finding new and inventive ways to work.

Your future at Kyndryl

This position offers excellent career growth opportunities with emerging technologies like Cloud, Analytics, and Machine Learning. You'll be part of a highly available DevOps implementation that drives quality, speed, and efficiency. Additionally, you'll be part of a team that constantly seeks to add value for stakeholders, enhances infrastructure scalability, and manages disaster recovery and capacity for our delivery pipeline
