Infrastructure Automation Engineer

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

A Kyndryl Infrastructure Specialist is an expert in project-based domains across the entire infrastructure landscape. They excel at providing analysis, documenting and diagramming work for handover, delivering timely solutions, and generally "figuring out what needs to be done." This is a hands-on role where sensing the interaction between systems and their environments is crucial for every customer.

This role has two key aspects. First, it involves engaging in current projects to analyze technical issues, propose solutions, test, modify, automate, and integrate systems. Second, it requires developing long-term, strategic plans for IT infrastructure and operations. Since this role is not limited to a specific platform, a broad knowledge across all platforms is essential. At Kyndryl, this means gaining diverse experiences and growth opportunities that are hard to find elsewhere.

You'll be involved early in the process to provide solutions, assess what's possible, and help identify technical and timeline risks in advance. This means addressing both customer expectations and internal challenges. In other words, there are many opportunities to make a difference-and many people will see the impact of your contributions. In fact, one of the most common signs of success for an Infrastructure Specialist is when customers return and specifically request to work with the same person again. That's the kind of influence you can have.

This is a project-based role that allows for deep involvement throughout the project lifecycle and close collaboration with architects, engineers, and project managers. Regardless of your current technical knowledge or career direction, you'll find opportunities that suit you and colleagues who support your growth. Think it might get boring? Trust us-it won't.

Your Future at Kyndryl

You'll have opportunities to earn certifications and qualifications through your work, enabling continuous growth as a cloud hyperscaler. Many of our Infrastructure Specialists go on to become architects or technical directors, with opportunities to grow in either direction at every skill level.

Who You Are

You are highly skilled at what you do and have built the experience necessary to prove it. But just as important is your growth mindset-the drive to grow both personally and professionally. We want you to be someone who puts the customer at the center of everything and prioritizes their success in your work. And finally, we hope you are open, borderless, and naturally collaborative in how you work with others.
