The Role

As an Agentic AI Data Scientist at Kyndryl, you'll help shape the future of advanced Agentic AI while working with a team that's leading the industry.

We're solving real-world problems at a massive scale - powered by creativity, precision, and a shared obsession with what's next.

You'll be part of a team shaping the future of Agentic AI - architecting and scaling a next-gen open-source framework that powers autonomous systems across industries.

We're not just talking innovation - we're building it. Fast.

Startup inside Kyndryl: Zero bureaucracy. You'll work with autonomy, follow your own leads, and build real systems - not tickets.

Tech-first, action-oriented culture: Think in code. Rapid demo cycles, collaborative peer pairing, and framework rollouts in weeks.

Direct impact at scale: Drive Kyndryl as an AI-native company - your ideas and IP shape the transformation.

Deep academic integration: Be an industrial PhD supervisor. Co-author whitepapers. Publish with 2nd or 3rd attribution. Elevate your profile.

Work that matters: Client-first, innovation-always. Balance advanced programming with strategic thinking and client interaction.

True builder's environment: Collaborate with top-tier talent (most of the team holds PhDs). Everyone contributes equally - ideas over titles.

What You'll Do

• Serve as the bridge between deep technical work and business transformation, solving meaningful challenges through Agentic AI.
• Work on a modular, open-source Agentic AI framework - integrating GenAI and real-world tools. Develop, train, and deploy intelligent agents using tools like Python, Azure ML, focused on dynamic, self-improving systems.
• Translate business needs into data science problems with autonomy - then rapidly experiment, build, and deploy solutions that scale.
• Co-own the evolution of the Agentic AI framework - not just code, but also architecture, design, product thinking, and client success.
• Mentor and inspire a new generation of researchers and developers - from PhD students to business leaders - with your contributions credited and published.

Period: 1- year Fixed-term

Your Future at Kyndryl

We don't hire for a role - we hire for a journey. You'll be empowered to work remotely, flexibly, and at your best. Your success is measured by what you create, not where you work from. Expect an innovation cycle where you'll build a legacy portfolio and help reimagine what AI can do for business.

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 Skills and Experience

• 3+ years of experience as an Agentic AI Data Scientist, Software Engineer / Developer or in a comparable role
• Strong programming fluency with Python (with NumPy, pandas, Matplotlib, Flask/FastAPI etc. libraries) and architectural design (e.g., microservice ecosystems, message brokers)
• Proven track record in client-facing engagements, demonstrating strong consultancy and stakeholder management skills
• Hands-on experience delivering end-to-end GenAI projects and systems
• Hands-on Agentic AI / GenAI engineering exposure - building or contributing to frameworks, not just using APIs

Preferred Skills and Experience

• Ability to operate independently and collaborate within a high-trust, low-hierarchy team
• Contributions to academic/technical communities and shaping open-source projects
• MSc, PhD or equivalent research experience
• Experience with Google Agent Development Kit
• Certifications in Azure, AWS, or Google ML platforms

• Presence in academic or whitepaper communities (authorship, publication, or presentation)
