Cloud Architect

Cloud Architects are the key link between Kyndryl and our clients. You are 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 will be there from the start of a project understanding what is needed and figuring out the best technical solution. And you will be there at the finish, delivering the right product on time and within budget.

As a Cloud Architect, you will 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 are the subject matter expert consulting early, gathering inputs, and 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 are the tech leader for implementation.

At Kyndryl, we support all major cloud platforms, so you will get the chance to use everything you know and then some. You will also become an expert at knowing when and how to call on other SMEs outside your wheelhouse. Thinking your way around pre-existing limitations will grow your creativity and flexibility. You will 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 will get to influence, create, and deliver something from start to finish. You will have the power to delight our clients.
