** 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
** Kyndryl Consult is driving the next wave of enterprise AI transformation, delivering mission-critical innovation for global organizations. Operating at the intersection of deep technical architecture and client co-creation, our teams move at market speed to turn complex business challenges into production-ready software systems.

As an Associate Director, Full-stack Forward Deployed Engineer, you are the principal technical force customers ask for by name. You will lead high-impact AI engagements, shape modern architectural blueprints, and step into an ultra-fast, high-autonomy builder’s environment. In this role, you take direct accountability for real outcomes in production environments, designing responsive modern frontends, building robust backend data pipelines, and orchestrating advanced multi-agent workflows.

Operating from our physical Agentic AI Lab in Frisco, Texas, and working directly alongside enterprise leadership, you will thrive in an iterative, rapid-prototyping ecosystem where we ship functional MVPs in weeks, not months. You will balance hands-on development—utilizing state-of-the-art retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) architectures, managing LLM API performance, and deploying to cloud hyper-scalers—with strategic client advisory to ensure every solution delivers measurable business value.##

Key Responsibilities Full-Stack Architecture & Rapid Prototyping
* Build and scale responsive modern frontend interfaces using React, Angular, or Vue designed to handle dynamic generative UI elements and real-time streaming outputs.
* Develop robust backend APIs, microservices, and data pipelines using Python, JavaScript/Type Script, or Node.js to connect enterprise systems with advanced language models.
* Rapidly prototype, iterate, and ship functional, production-ready MVPs within weeks in a highly agile lab environment.
* Optimize application performance, query execution, and rendering speeds to maintain high reliability and low latency across distributed systems.

Agentic AI & Knowledge Systems Integration
* Design, build, and deploy multi-agent orchestration frameworks using tools like Lang Chain, Auto Gen, or CrewAI that communicate, self-correct, and execute complex enterprise workflows.
* Configure and optimize Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures and vector engines, integrating both structured and unstructured data sources.
* Resolve LLM deployment challenges, including API call optimization, token latencies, prompt routing, context window limits, and cost management.
* Implement system-level security and performance best practices for scalable AI platforms.

Client Co-Creation & Technical Ownership
* Embed directly with enterprise client teams to translate ambiguous business requirements into scalable, high-impact technical architectures.
* Partner with senior stakeholders to prioritize long-term technical value and solution integrity over quick fixes.
* Own end-to-end technical delivery from initial scoping through deployment, driving user adoption and operational outcomes.

Platform Contribution & Operational Excellence
* Systematically capture deployment learnings and document architectural best practices to inform…
