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 a Data Scientist at Kyndryl you are the bridge between business problems and innovative solutions, using a powerful blend of well-defined methodologies, statistics, mathematics, domain expertise, consulting, and software engineering. You'll wear many hats, and each day will present a new puzzle to solve, a new challenge to conquer.

In this role, you will embark on a transformative process of business understanding, data understanding, and data preparation. Utilizing statistical and mathematical modeling techniques, you'll have the opportunity to create models that defy convention – models that hold the key to solving intricate business challenges. With an acute eye for accuracy and generalization, you'll evaluate these models to ensure they not only solve business problems but do so optimally.

Additionally, you're not just building and validating models – you're deploying them as code to applications and processes, ensuring that the model(s) you've selected sustains its business value throughout its lifecycle.

Your expertise doesn't stop at data; you'll become intimately familiar with our business processes and have the ability to navigate their complexities, identifying issues and crafting solutions that drive meaningful change in these domains. You will develop and apply standards and policies that protect our organization's most valuable asset – ensuring that data is secure, private, accurate, available, and, most importantly, usable. Your mastery extends to data management, migration, strategy, change management, and policy and regulation.

In this role, you'll go beyond traditional modeling. You'll orchestrate the end-to-end process: business understanding, system design, and deployment of AI agents capable of handling real-world complexity. Leveraging advanced reasoning, RAG (retrieval-augmented generation), and agent orchestration, you'll engineer solutions that autonomously adapt, learn, and optimize. You'll evaluate these systems not just for accuracy, but for scalability, safety, and reliability in production.

You won't stop at building prototypes—you'll integrate and operationalize agentic AI into applications, workflows, and processes, ensuring continuous value delivery. Your expertise extends beyond code: you'll navigate business processes, identify opportunities for automation, and apply policies and standards to ensure our solutions are secure, private, accurate, and trustworthy.

If you're ready to embrace the power of agentic AI to transform how enterprises operate, then join us at Kyndryl. Together, we'll redefine what's possible and unlock the next generation of intelligent, autonomous systems
