**Your Role and Responsibilities**

Kyndryl is looking for leaders who are passionate about helping some of the world’s biggest companies to successfully achieve their Data Center Transformation and Application Modernization. Do you know enough about Hybrid Cloud, Data Center Infrastructure, Hypervisors, Databases, Linux/Unix, Application Modernization, Application Architecture or Migration Consulting to help our customers to move their workloads from Anywhere to Anywhere? Can you break that knowledge down for our clients to show them their opportunities and solve their risks?

Our Cloud Migration and Modernization Architects are leaders. They’ve gained 5+ years’ experience in technology, 2- 3 years’ experience in On-Premises, Cloud Solutions and Cloud Multicloud Infrastructures, Legacy Application Modernization, Application Architecture, CI/CD automation and are ready to make a meaningful impact on our clients.

Sometimes that leadership manifests in such deep technical expertise that they can lead and perform hands-on technical build, migration, and technical designs for projects to achieve client’s transformations and to help rescue clients from blocked or difficult projects. Translating client requirements, understanding client’s circumstances, and executing project services to support the design and implementation of converged infrastructure solutions, in order to deliver cloud operations, consolidate and protect workloads. You will use assets and reference architectures, build proof-of concepts, build and execute implementation plans, testing plans and deployment plans to address client requirements and work with products or solutions based on partner hardware and/or partner software.

Kyndryl is making a big bet on cloud and we need people who have a deep technical background expertise in the technologies that will make our customers successful.
