Infrastructure Automation Engineer

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

Infrastructure Specialist at Kyndryl

An Infrastructure Specialist at Kyndryl is a subject matter expert in project-based work across the entire infrastructure domain. They excel at delivering analysis, documenting and diagramming work for handover, providing timely solutions, and generally “figuring out what needs to be done.” This is a hands-on role where sensing the interaction between systems and their environments is crucial for delivering value to every client.

This role has two key aspects. First, it involves engaging in current projects to analyze technical issues, propose solutions, test, modify, automate, and integrate systems. Second, it requires developing long-term, strategic plans for IT infrastructure and operations. Since the role is not limited to a specific platform, a broad knowledge across all platforms is essential. At Kyndryl, this means gaining diverse experiences and growth opportunities that are hard to find elsewhere.

You’ll be involved early in the process to provide solutions, assess feasibility, and help identify technical and timeline risks in advance. This means addressing both client expectations and internal challenges. In other words, there are many opportunities to make a real impact—and many people will see the results of your work. In fact, one of the most common signs of success for an Infrastructure Specialist is when clients return and specifically request to work with the same person again. That’s the kind of influence you can have.

This is a project-based role that allows you to be deeply involved throughout the project lifecycle, working closely with architects, engineers, and project managers. Regardless of your current technical knowledge or career direction, you’ll find opportunities that suit you and colleagues who support your growth. Think it might get boring? Trust us—it won’t.

Your Future at Kyndryl

You’ll have opportunities to earn certifications and qualifications through your work, enabling continuous growth as a cloud hyperscaler. Many of our Infrastructure Specialists go on to become Architects or Distinguished Engineers, and there are opportunities to grow in either direction at every skill level.
