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
As an Agentic AI Architect at Kyndryl, you'll work on cutting-edge frameworks that are a generation ahead of today's frontier technologies. This is a strategically important role for Kyndryl, offering the opportunity to lead architecture design for enterprise-scale AI platforms that integrate Agentic AI capabilities.

You'll combine deep technical expertise with architectural vision - designing distributed systems, setting quality standards, and guiding teams to deliver robust, scalable solutions. Expect a true builder's environment, where MVP rollouts happen in weeks, and your ideas shape the future of enterprise AI.

What You'll Do

• Design and deliver distributed architectures for large-scale, cloud-based enterprise systems (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Integrate Agentic AI capabilities into enterprise software.
• Act as a technical authority, setting standards for security, scalability, and performance, ensuring poor code or weak architecture is prevented from entering production.
• Translate vague customer requirements into actionable technical designs.
• Lead discussions, challenge ideas, and align teams on a clear technical direction.
• Collaborate with engineers and stakeholders to ensure timely delivery of MVPs and production-ready solutions.

Every position at Kyndryl offers a way forward to grow your career. We have

opportunities that you won't find anywhere else, including hands-on experience, learning opportunities, and the chance to certify in all four major platforms. Whether you want to broaden your knowledge base or narrow your scope and specialise in a specific sector, you can find your opportunity here.

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; you are keen to drive your own personal and professional development. You are customer-focused - someone who prioritises customer success in their work. And finally, you're open and borderless - naturally inclusive in how you work with others.

• Expertise in distributed systems architecture and cloud-native design.
• Familiarity with graph theory, data drift, and AI integration, embedding AI into software.
