The Role
Infrastructure 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 an Infrastructure Architect, you'll draw upon the full breadth of your talent and experience. This is a technical leadership role, so we want you to bring your vision, knowledge, and leadership to each project. To the client, you're the subject matter expert - consulting early, gathering inputs, understanding what they need from our solution. You define what Kyndryl can do to meet this solution. You design the best solution for the job. And finally, you're the tech leader for implementation.

- Integrate NSX-T and vRNI (vRealize Network Insight) into customer environments.
- Implement and support Application Load Balancing (F5, NSX ALB, or similar solutions).
- Oversee workload migration and network integration projects.
Automation & Optimization:- Develop network automation scripts using Ansible, Python, and Postman to enhance operational efficiency.

You'll learn a lot here, and if you want to work toward certifications there are plenty of opportunities.The rewards for all this are many. You'll get to influence, create, and deliver something from start to finish. You will have the power to delight our clients.
