Lead, Infrastructure Specialist

Who We Are

At Kyndryl, we design, build, manage and modernize the mission‑critical technology systems that the world depends on every day. 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.

Infrastructure Specialists at Kyndryl are project‑based subject‑matter experts in all things infrastructure – good at providing analysis, documenting and diagramming 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.

There are two halves to this role: first, contributing to current projects where you analyze problems and tech issues, offer solutions, and test, modify, automate, and integrate systems. And second, long‑range strategic planning of IT infrastructure and operational execution. The role isn’t specific to any one platform, so you’ll need a good feel for all of them.

You’ll be involved early to offer solutions, help decide whether something can be done and identify the technical and timeline risks upfront. This means dealing with both client expectations and internal challenges – a chance to make a difference. A frequent sign of success is when clients come back and ask for the same person by name.

There are lots of opportunities to gain certification and qualifications on the job, and you’ll continuously grow as a Cloud Hyperscaler. Many 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 direction.

Kyndryl currently does not require employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID‑19, however, if you are hired to work at a client, customer, or partner location, you may be required to show proof of vaccination to align with their respective COVID‑19 vaccination policies. Those who believe they are eligible may apply for a medical or religious accommodation prior to the start of employment.

You’re good at what you do and possess the required experience to prove it. Equally, 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.
