The Role

Job Description

As a Public Cloud Solutions Architect at Kyndryl, you act as the trusted advisor who turns business goals into cloud architecture that actually ships. You work closely with client executives, enterprise architects, security and compliance teams, governance, delivery, and our hyperscaler partners to keep everyone aligned on one technical direction. You get involved early, helping shape the strategy and the migration and modernization roadmap, and you stay through delivery so the architecture goes live on time, on budget, and secure by design.

This is a senior, client-facing role. To the client, you are the go-to expert on public cloud. You run discovery and assessment workshops, build the business case and total cost of ownership, and translate requirements into well-architected solutions on AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. Increasingly, that means designing for AI and agentic AI as well, from the data and platform foundations through to the workloads themselves.

You will decide what Kyndryl will deliver, design the landing zones, networking, identity, data, and application patterns behind it, and lead the implementation teams to a clean result.

The role goes beyond any single engagement. You will mentor other architects and consultants, build reference architectures and reusable accelerators, and help set our delivery standards and governance. You will also help set Kyndryl apart through newer capabilities such as agentic AI, automation, and modernization accelerators that improve delivery quality, speed, and the value clients see. Kyndryl works across all the major public cloud platforms, so you will use what you know, keep building on it, and know when to bring in specialist SMEs.

Your Future at Kyndryl

Every position at Kyndryl is an opportunity to be part of something bigger. We're committed to your growth and development-because when you succeed, we succeed. In this role, you'll gain exposure to global projects, cutting-edge technologies, and strategic initiatives that shape the future of businesses worldwide. Your career path doesn't stop here. Whether you want to deepen your expertise, broaden your skills, or move into leadership, we'll support you with learning programs, mentorship, and opportunities to take on new challenges. At Kyndryl, your future is yours to shape.

Who You Are

You're good at what you do, and you have the track record to show for it. Just as important, you keep learning and you help the people around you grow too. You put client success first, and you work in an open, inclusive way across teams, geographies, and partners.

Required Technical and Professional Experience

8+ years designing and delivering enterprise IT solutions, including at least 4+ years focused on public cloud architecture
Deep, hands-on solutions architecture experience on at least one major hyperscaler (Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud) and working knowledge of a second multi-cloud experience strongly preferred
A track record leading cloud migration and modernization programs, covering assessment and discovery, the 7 Rs (rehost, replatform, refactor, and so on), landing zone and well-architected design, and large-scale workload migration

Hands-on experience designing and delivering AI and agentic AI solutions on cloud, including the underlying data and platform foundations, the AI/ML services across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, and how generative and agentic workloads change architecture, security, and cost

Experience with infrastructure as code and automation (Terraform, CloudFormation, ARM/Bicep, Ansible) and with CI/CD and DevOps practices
Practical understanding of security by design, cloud cost optimization (FinOps), and well-architected or cloud adoption frameworks
Proven consulting skills: running client workshops, building business cases and TCO/ROI models, presenting to and influencing senior stakeholders up to C-level, and guiding delivery teams as the lead architect
At least one current associate- or professional-level cloud certification (for example, AWS Solutions Architect Associate or Professional, Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert, or Google Professional Cloud Architect)

Preferred Technical and Professional Experience

Professional- or expert-tier and multi-cloud certifications across AWS, Azure, or GCP
Experience in a consulting, professional services, or systems integrator setting delivering cloud work for enterprise clients
Familiarity with hybrid and on-premises-to-cloud platforms (VMware Cloud Foundation, Nutanix, AWS Outposts, Azure Stack/Arc, Google Distributed Cloud)
Deeper specialization in agentic AI, such as multi-agent systems, agent orchestration and governance (AgentOps), retrieval-augmented generation, and integrating large language models into enterprise workflows and platforms
Experience mentoring architects and contributing reusable reference architectures, accelerators, and delivery standards
Industry or regulated-environment experience (financial services, public sector, healthcare), including data sovereignty and compliance considerations
Excellent written and verbal communication skills and the confidence to work with stakeholders at all levels
