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

We’re looking for a hands-on Mainframe Storage Engineer to support and evolve our z/OS environment end-to-end—covering core infrastructure, and storage management. You’ll be responsible for stable operations, incident/problem/change management, capacity/performance tuning, and automation—partnering closely with application teams to keep mission-critical workloads running reliably and securely.
** Key Responsibilities
**** Platform & Infrastructure Operations
**** Storage Management
*** Administer DFSMS (ACS routines, storage groups/classes), DFSMShsm (HSM policies, space management, migration/recall), and Catalog/ICF management (IDCAMS).
* Manage DASD and tape subsystems (e.g., DS8000, TS7700), volumes, VTOCs, data sets, and replication.
* Partner with backup/recovery teams on policy, Flash Copy/Snap, DR readiness, and test execution.
** Reliability, Security & Compliance
*** Implement and maintain RACF/ACF2/Top Secret security controls; support audits and compliance (SOX, PCI, ISO, etc.).
* Participate in BCP/DR planning, testing, and documentation.
* Apply SRE/operational excellence practices: error budgets, toil reduction, problem elimination, and automation-first mindset.
** ITSM & Change Management
*** Drive incident, problem, and change processes (e.g., in Service Now): root cause analysis, post-incident reviews, and controlled deployments.
* Author and maintain runbooks, SOPs, architecture diagrams, and knowledge articles.
** Your future at Kyndryl
** There are lots of opportunities to gain certification and qualifications on the job, and you’ll continuously grow as a Cloud Hyperscaler. Many of our 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 of these directions.

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.
** Who You Are
** You’re good at what you do and possess the required experience to prove it. However, equally as important – 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.
** Required Qualifications
*** 6+ years in mainframe (z/OS) infrastructure or production support roles.
* Strong hands-on knowledge of z/OS, JES2/JES3, TSO/ISPF, SDSF, USS/OMVS, SMP/E.
* Storage fundamentals: DFSMS, DFSMShsm, ICF catalog/IDCAMS,…
