Job description

Who We Are
Kyndryl is a market leader that thinks and acts like a start-up. 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
Platforms are what give a business its competitive advantage and reduce technical debt. Business users and developers use them to standardise and accelerate the delivery and operation of digital services. Without platforms organisations duplicate effort at scale. Here at Kyndryl our platform engineers are central to our cloud strategy. They use software engineering to automate and codify, the provisioning of IaaS and PaaS resources, to create a diverse set of business and developer platforms. These platforms range from landing zones to operations tooling providing a control plane and observability; to Kubernetes, API and integration, messaging, data, DevSecOps tooling; to contact centres, CRM, ERP, data and insights, low-code, identity access and machine learning. They are also experienced in new ways of working such as DevSecOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and Agile Delivery. They are at the edge of technology, working in cross functional squads to rapidly deliver cloud solutions for our customers.

Your role will be to work with our customers, in this exciting environment. This is also an amazing opportunity to learn and help Kyndryl transform from an infrastructure provider to a leading software driven global system integrator. You can help us shape our 90000 people start up. If this sounds like you, then apply to Kyndryl today.

What’s in it for you?
This is an engineering role providing a fantastic opportunity to work on a diverse mix of large and complex customers projects. With our global partner Alliances, you will have opportunities to work on projects that involve a whole range of technologies from Azure to AWS and GCP, as well as Private Clouds. You will have the opportunity to work with Kyndryl customers across multiple industries. With diversity in one of the world’s largest start-ups, comes stability and leadership. From a career perspective, and from Day 1 at Kyndryl, you will have the opportunity to grow your knowledge and add to your accreditations that we offer via our partner alliances. We will support you through your career journey, with the people and the technology – wherever your career takes you. You will work closely with our customers, our Kyndryl teams, our cloud partners, and our 3rd party service providers. You will be working closely with the Kyndryl Cloud Architects, Project Managers and technical subject matter experts. You will deliver against the architected designs to implement the solution to drive our customers forward. In joining Kyndryl you will work for a company that invests in your future and join a team culture that amplifies learning and development agility. Kyndryl has a flexible working policy offering a number of options from reduced hours, or job share, to home working. These ensure a better balance and improved flexibility both inside and outside of work for you. You can discuss our flexible working options with our managers when you apply. And don’t forget to ask about our Summertime Flexible Fridays! Plus, we offer a Flexible Reward benefits scheme, where you can personalize your benefit rewards. Our excellent employee benefits range from medical and dental, to employer contribution pension, buying vacation days, cycle to work, childcare vouchers and 1000’s of online or high street discounts. Kyndryl is also unique amongst other technology services companies in the UK, in that it offers Carbon Literacy training to employees as part of its wider commitment to ESG, helping educate employees and empowering them to take action to reduce their carbon footprint both personally and professionally.

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.
You are a Cloud Platform Engineer, confident working in cross functional teams, with our customers, using agile delivery.
