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 Your Future at Kyndryl Every position at Kyndryl offers a way forward to grow your career. We have opportunities that you won’t find anywhere else, including hands-on experience, learning opportunities, and the chance to certify in all four major platforms. Whether you want to broaden your knowledge base or narrow your scope and specialize in a specific sector, you can find your opportunity here. 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. Key Responsibilities: Design and define the architecture of the Internal Developer Platform (IDP), selecting and integrating key tools and technologies such as Kubernetes, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solutions, CI/CD tools, Developer Portals, and Platform Orchestrators. Build and maintain the core components of a Platform, ensuring reliability, scalability, and performance. Define and implement standardized, automated "Golden Paths" or "Paved Roads" for common Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) flows, such as project creation, environment provisioning, deployments, and resource management. Drive the automation of complex operational tasks that traditionally burdened developers or operations teams. Collaborate closely with development, operations, and security teams to understand their pain points and gather feedback that guides the continuous improvement of the platform. Establish and implement governance, security, and compliance policies within the platform, utilizing tools like Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and policy as code. Measure and communicate the impact of the platform on the organization, focusing on reducing cognitive load, improving developer productivity, and operational efficiency (e.g., using reduction in support tickets as a key ROI metric). Act as an internal champion for the Platform, promoting its adoption by development teams and providing comprehensive documentation and training. Mentor junior engineers within the Platform team, fostering their growth and technical expertise. Ensure the sustainability of the platform through effective resource lifecycle management and cost optimization strategies. Who You Are Required Skills and Experience Demonstrated experience in designing and building software platforms or distributed systems at scale. Deep understanding of the Platform Engineering philosophy and its key concepts: Internal Developer Platform (IDP), Developer Experience (DevEx), Golden Paths, Platform as a Product, and cognitive load reduction. Solid experience with cloud-native architectures and container orchestration, ideally Kubernetes. Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools and practices (e.g., Ansible,Terraform, Crossplane, Pulumi, etc). Proven experience with implementing and managing CI/CD pipelines. Ability to integrate complex systems and diverse tools seamlessly. Strong product mindset with a developer-centric focus. Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to engage effectively with both technical and non-technical teams. Experience leading technical initiatives and mentoring other engineers. Fluent in English and Spanish. Proven experience in web development using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript and modern frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, or Vue.js). Knowledge of development tools and technologies like Git, RESTful APIs, and content management systems. Familiarity with server-side development t PHP, Python and/or Go.) Ability to work independently and as part of an Engineering team. Preferred Skills and Experience Specific experience with Developer Portals (e.g., Backstage, Port, Cortex, OpsLevel). Knowledge or experience with workload specification tools (e.g., Score, Kro). Experience with Platform Orchestrators Familiarity with the Team Topologies model and the platform team role. Experience working in highly regulated environments or with strict security/compliance requirements. Contributions to relevant open-source projects in the cloud-native or Platform Engineering space. Basic hands-on experience with public clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP). Relevant certifications or current pursuit of certification. Interest in observability, security practices, and advanced platform engineering methodologies.
