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

Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States without restriction now, and in the future. The company will not sponsor employment visas for this role. You must also be able to work at our Frisco office 5 days per week.

What You Will Do
Orchestrate Intelligence
• Architect for RAG: You'll design and scale the pipelines for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), transforming massive volumes of unstructured IT logs and documentation into optimized Vector Embeddings.
• Scale vector infrastructure: You will be responsible for the health and performance of our vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Milvus, or Weaviate), ensuring sub-second retrieval speeds for agentic reasoning loops.

Master Data Transformation
• Engineer semantic layers: Move beyond simple ETL to build knowledge graphs and semantic layers that provide agents with the necessary context to navigate complex infrastructure puzzles.
• Automate data excellence: Using a keen eye for detail, you'll build automated data guardrails to detect noise, bias, or PII (Personally Identifiable Information) before it reaches the model, ensuring our AI remains safe and impactful.

Own the Backbone
• Solve meaningful challenges: Serve as the bridge between raw, messy data sources and deep technical AI work, identifying and resolving quality issues at the source.
• Progress to production: With a well-defined methodology and software engineering prowess, you will build, deploy, and maintain the CI/CD pipelines for our data infrastructure, ensuring that our context window remains fresh and reliable.
