Cloud Platform Architect

**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**

The Responsibilities includes:

- Design and maintain the building blocks of the cloud platform across GCP
- Ensure that the platform remains secure via vulnerability scans and infrastructure backup updates
- Drive the automation of infrastructure provisioning process
- Select the appropriate GCP service based on data, compute, database, or security requirements
- Oversees the build and operation of fast and scalable infrastructure deployment workflows
- Helps architect and design the transformational journey into the cloud platform services
- Includes the implementation and delivery of cloud products and services, configuration management, Infrastructure as Code template development, Testing and Troubleshooting
- Deliver excellent customer outcomes through technical expertise
- Build and maintain relationships across engineering

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.

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.

**Who You Are**

You’re good at what you do and possess the required experience to prove it. However, equally as important - you have a growth mindset; keen to drive your own personal and professional development. You are customer-focused - someone who prioritizes customer success in their work. And finally, you’re open and borderless - naturally inclusive in how you work with others.

**Required Technical and Professional Experience**
- Completed training in GCP Fundamentals with Minimum 10+ Years experience.
- Good Understanding of cloud security policies and standards
- Good Understanding of technical cloud infrastructure and configuration
- Experience with infrastructure as code
- Experience in Agile and DevOps methodologies
- Experience with CI/CD and source code management tools
- Demonstrated problem analysis and resolution skills
- Understanding of Cloud Automation for standardization and re-use
- Knowledge of Enterprise Architecture Frameworks and the GCP Well Architect-ed framework
- Experience Designing, building, and operating global IT infrastructures

**Preferred Technical and Professional Experience**
- A keen interest in new technologies and ability/willingness to research and self-study to keep technical skills relevant
- In depth knowledge of Amazon cloud hosting architecture with experience with AWS and Azure is a bonus
- Exceptional judgment and decision-making abilities.
- Familiar with a variety of IT concepts, practices, and procedures.
- Knowledge of design techniques, tools, and principals involved in production of precision technical plans, blueprints, drawings, and models
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with high attention to detail.

**Being You**

Diversity is a whole lot more than what we look like or where we come from, it’s how we think and who we are. We welcome people of all cultures, backgrounds, and experiences. But we’re not doing it single-handily: Our Kyndryl Inclusion Networks are only one of many ways we create a workplace where all Kyndryls can find and provide
