Azure Platform Engineer
Who We Are
Your Role
As an Infrastructure Architect, you will serve as a key technical link between Kyndryl and its clients, providing leadership throughout the project lifecycle. You will collaborate with client stakeholders, governance teams, project executives, delivery teams, and vendors to understand business and technical requirements, define appropriate solutions, and ensure successful delivery within agreed timelines and budgets.
As an Infrastructure Architect, you'll draw upon the full breadth of your talent and experience. This is a technical leadership role, so we want you to bring your vision, knowledge, and leadership to each project. To the client, you're the subject matter expert - consulting early, gathering inputs, understanding what they need from our solution. You define what Kyndryl can do to meet this solution. You design the best solution for the job. And finally, you're the tech leader for implementation.
At Kyndryl we support all major cloud platforms, so you'll get the chance to use everything you know - and then some. You'll also become expert at knowing when and how to call on other SMEs outside your wheelhouse. Thinking your way around pre-existing limitations will grow your creativity and flexibility. You'll learn a lot here, and if you want to work toward certifications there are plenty of opportunities. The rewards for all this are many. You'll get to influence, create, and deliver something from start to finish. You will have the power to delight our clients.
