The Role Who We Are At Kyndryl, we design, build, manage and modernize the mission-critical technology systems that the world depends on every day. We are always moving forward — pushing ourselves to go further in our efforts to build a more equitable, inclusive world for our employees, our customers and our communities. In our AI Led Application Modernization team this is especially true. We’re a relatively new part of Kyndryl and operate with a startup mentality. We know that the way that software is created, maintained, modernized, and deployed is changing and we have the opportunity to build a team that’s aligned to the future. We are leveraging AI and new partnerships to help companies our clients sprint towards the future. The Role and Responsibilities Kyndryl is seeking a hands-on Technical Leader in OSS (Architect) to help build and execute on some new services. We’ve recently created a strategic partnership with an Open Source Software (OSS) provider and are looking for an architect to help us expand our joint offerings. You will work with our new partner, consult leadership, existing consult practices, and clients to identify and develop the services that will bring this partnership to life. Among your responsibilities will be: Get to know the technology of our partner and the applicable service offerings to identify places where synergy can benefit our clients. Work on a very technical level to define and harden those offerings with our consulting practice and our partner’s software engineers.
