The Role

Are you a mastermind when it comes to software architecture and design? Do you have a passion for developing innovative software solutions that are ahead of the curve? If so, we have the perfect role for you. 

Kyndryl is seeking an Application Delivery Manager with a strong foundation in application development and testing and a passion for delivering robust, cloud-based applications. In this role, you will lead cross-functional teams through the solutioning, planning, execution, and delivery of software development projects, ensuring that every release meets the highest standards of quality, reliability, and performance.

You will leverage your expertise in testing methodologies, automation frameworks, and defect management to define technical solutions and delivery strategies. By establishing and scaling a Software Factory—including people, processes, and tools- you will drive efficiency and quality across the software development lifecycle.

As a delivery leader, you will:

• Advise, analyze, and support Clients in analyzing, modernizing, and developing digital solutions by gathering requirements from stakeholders and translating them into functional and non-functional specifications, combining knowledge of industry processes (banking and insurance primarily) and application development skills.
• Define the Application Architecture, including custom, software or package-based solutions and application integration, designing cutting-edge software frameworks, systems, and products that will set the standard for the industry, and identifying and resolving any framework design weaknesses.
• Define project scope, timelines, and staffing plans for the end-to-end application development cycle.
• Technically lead the application development team, perform design and code reviews, and ensure that uniform enterprise-wide application design standards are maintained.
• Coordinate engineering and test squads to ensure features are thoroughly tested (functional, integration, system) before release.
• Oversee the automation of test suites for regression, scalability, and performance testing, tracking and managing defects, risks, and dependencies to maintain delivery momentum.
• Ensure seamless integration and release readiness with close collaboration with the Infrastructure teams.

Your ability to see the product from the end user’s perspective will be key in delivering solutions that are not only technically sound but also user-centric.
