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

Infrastructure Specialists at Kyndryl are project-based subject matter experts in all things infrastructure – 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.

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 means dealing with both client expectations and internal challenges – in other words, there are plenty of opportunities to make a difference, and a lot of people will witness your contributions. In fact, a frequent sign of success for our Infrastructure Specialists is when clients come back to us and ask for the same person by name. That’s the kind of impact you can have!

  • Lead the enterprise GCP platform strategy, architecture, and operational model

  • Define, enforce, and evolve IaC and automation standards using TerraformAnsible, and GCP-native tools

  • Design and maintain reusable platform modules, templates, and enterprise reference architectures

  • Lead technical reviews, provide guidance, and make decisions on complex platform engineering challenges

  • Implement governance, compliance, and security frameworks across GCP using IAM, Organization Policies, VPC Service Controls, and Cloud Armor

  • Drive enterprise adoption of DevOps principles, CI/CD pipelines, and platform engineering best practices

  • Mentor and advise senior engineers, SMEs, and platform teams on cloud design, architecture, and automation

  • Evaluate emerging cloud technologies and provide strategic recommendations to improve platform capabilities and efficiency

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure platform services meet business and technical requirements at scale

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.


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 prioritizes 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:

  • 10+ years of Extensive, hands-on expertise with GCP in large-scale enterprise environments

  • Deep experience in Terraform, including multi-environment, multi-project deployments and reusable module design

  • Proven experience with Ansible Automation or equivalent configuration management solutions

  • Expert understanding of DevOps principles, CI/CD pipelines, and platform engineering practices

  • Strong knowledge of GCP core services: Compute Engine, GKE, VPC, Cloud Storage, IAM, BigQuery, Pub/Sub

  • Experience designing and implementing enterprise cloud governance, security, and compliance frameworks

  • Proficiency in scripting (Python, PowerShell, Bash) and Git-based workflows

  • Ability to lead enterprise-wide cloud initiatives and influence cross-functional teams

Preferred Technical and Professional Experience:

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience

  • 10+ years of experience in cloud engineering, platform engineering, or DevOps roles

  • Proven track record in large, complex, or regulated enterprise environments

  • Advanced familiarity with:

    • GCP Landing Zones, enterprise foundations, and multi-project architecture

    • Cloud monitoring, logging, observability, and cost optimization practices

    • Kubernetes (GKE) and containerized workloads

  • Relevant certifications: Professional Cloud Architect, Professional DevOps Engineer, Terraform

  • Experience driving Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) or platform engineering initiatives
