Mainframe Security Sme

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

There are two halves to this role: First, contributing to current projects where you analyze problems and tech issues, offer solutions, and test, modify, automate, and integrate systems. And second, long-range strategic planning of IT infrastructure and operational execution. This role isn’t specific to any one platform, so you’ll need a good feel for all of them. And because of this, you’ll experience variety and growth at Kyndryl that you won’t find anywhere else.

key responsibilities and requirements for this role:
Access Control: Administering access policies and provisioning tasks such as Identity and Access Management (IAM) to ensure only authorized users have access to the mainframe systems.
Security Monitoring: Monitoring security events and incidents and responding to security breaches to mitigate risks and protect the mainframe environment.
Compliance: Ensuring compliance with security policies, standards, and regulations by conducting regular audits and assessments.
Incident Response: Developing and implementing incident response plans to address security incidents and minimize their impact.
Collaboration: Working closely with other IT teams and stakeholders to integrate security measures into the overall IT infrastructure and business processes.

You’ll be involved early to offer solutions; help decide whether something can be done and identify the technical and timeline risks up front. This means dealing with both client expectations and internal challenges - in other words, there are plenty of opportunities to make a difference, and a lot of people will witness your contributions. In fact, a frequent sign of success for our Infrastructure Specialists is when clients come back to us and ask for the same person by name. That’s the kind of impact you can have

This is a project-based role where you’ll enjoy deep involvement throughout the lifespan of a project, as well as the chance to work closely with Architects, Technicians, and PMs. Whatever your current level of tech savvy or where you want your career to lead, you’ll find the right opportunities and a buddy to support your growth. Boredom? Trust us, that won’t be an issue.

Your future at Kyndryl
There are lots of opportunities to gain certification and qualifications on the job, and you’ll continuously grow as a Cloud Hyperscaler. Many of our Infrastructure Specialists are on a path toward becoming either an Architect or Distinguished Engineer, and there are opportunities at every skill level to grow in either of these directions.
