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

As an Agentic AI Architect at Kyndryl, you’ll work on cutting-edge frameworks that are a generation ahead of today’s frontier technologies. This is a strategically important role for Kyndryl, offering the opportunity to lead architecture design for enterprise-scale AI platforms that integrate Agentic AI capabilities.

You’ll combine deep technical expertise with architectural vision - designing distributed systems, setting quality standards, and guiding teams to deliver robust, scalable solutions. Expect a true builder’s environment, where MVP rollouts happen in weeks, and your ideas shape the future of enterprise AI.

What You’ll Do
· Design and deliver distributed architectures for large-scale, cloud-based enterprise systems (AWS, Azure, GCP).
· Integrate Agentic AI capabilities into enterprise software.
· Act as a technical authority, setting standards for security, scalability, and performance, ensuring poor code or weak architecture is prevented from entering production.
· Translate vague customer requirements into actionable technical designs.
· Lead discussions, challenge ideas, and align teams on a clear technical direction.
· Collaborate with engineers and stakeholders to ensure timely delivery of MVPs and production-ready solutions.

However, equally as important, you have a growth mindset; you are keen to drive your own personal and professional development.
