The Role
Role Overview
We are seeking a hands-on Solution Architect with deep expertise in agentic AI systems to join our global Application Modernization group. In this client-facing role, you will bridge the gap between emerging AI capabilities and real-world enterprise outcomes — designing tailor made solutions, leading discovery workshops, delivering compelling demos, and producing actionable project estimates and roadmaps. You will serve as a trusted technical advisor to senior stakeholders while remaining hands-on enough to prototype, build proof-of-concepts, and guide modernization teams.

Build and maintain proof-of-concepts and reference implementations that demonstrate business value
Define integration patterns for connecting AI agents to enterprise systems (CRMs, ERPs, APIs, data lakes)
Demos & Presentations
Create and deliver live, interactive demos of agentic AI capabilities tailored to specific client contexts and verticals using the Kyndryl Agentic Framework (KAF)
Design and present compelling solution narratives — from executive briefings to technical deep-dives
Develop demo environments, sandbox prototypes, and reusable demo assets that showcase differentiated value
Estimation & Pre-Sales
Produce detailed project estimates covering effort, cost, risk, timeline, and team composition leveraging Kyndryl’s solution calculator and other Kyndryl tools
Develop Statements of Work (SOWs), Requests for Proposal (RFP) responses, and technical proposal sections
Define MVP scopes and phased delivery plans aligned to client budget and business priorities
Collaborate with sales, consult, and legal teams to structure technically sound, deliverable engagements
Own technical due diligence for new opportunities and validate feasibility of proposed solutions
