Public Cloud Solutions Architect

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

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.
