Who We AreAt 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 RoleWe are looking for a leader in our Platform Engineering team.You’ll work with external clients to define, sell, and deliver cloud-native platform solutions. Translate business goals into architecture, validate with working prototypes, and drive adoption. Combine hands-on execution with pre-sales influence and client ownership.You will be responsible for guiding our internal roadmap for Delivery Teams focused on Cloud, DevOps, and Platform Engineering, with an emphasis on leveraging AI to enhance the software development lifecycle and infrastructure delivery.Key Responsibilities
  • Engage directly with clients
  • Drive pre-sales technically: qualify opportunities, build proposal-level architectures, demo value, articulate trade-offs, and support deal closure.
  • Lead end-to-end solution design; define and propagate reusable delivery patterns (“golden paths”) that reduce complexity and accelerate client velocity.
  • Build, validate, and evolve prototypes/POCs in real client environments to de-risk decisions and push designs toward production.
  • Embedded with client teams as needed—hands-on integration of platforms, CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, automation, and operational tooling.
  • Align and influence across multi-stakeholder ecosystems (client engineering, security, operations, procurement, internal delivery).
  • Spot and articulate expansion or follow-on opportunities based on evolving client use and value realization.
  • Contribute to our AI & Platform Engineering R&D roadmap: evaluate, prototype, and recommend selective AI-assisted SDLC enhancements (code suggestions, intelligent testing, automated reviews).
Who You AreRequired Skills & Experience
  • Comfortable in pre-sales and commercial technical motions: qualification, value framing, objection handling, and closing support.
  • Developer-level coding ability in at least one high-level language (Python, JavaScript/Node, Java, Go)—this is hands-on role, not advisory-only.
  • Hands-on with some cloud-native stacks: Kubernetes (EKS/AKS/GKE), IaC, and CI/CD systems (ArgoCD, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins etc.)
  • Hands-on with a Hyperscaler native Services (AWS, GCP or Azure)
  • Rapid prototyping, debugging, and iteration in messy, real-world client contexts.
  • Clear, direct communication tailored to both technical and executive audiences; able to push back constructively.
  • Business fluency: ties architecture decisions to cost, risk, time-to-market, and client outcomes.
  • Proven ability to build alignment across client and internal teams under pressure.
Optional but Valuable
  • External, client-facing solutions architecture or sales engineering experience
  • Exposure to or ability to recommend AI-assisted SDLC tools/workflows to boost delivery speed and quality (used pragmatically).
  • Background in consulting or services with measurable client impact.
  • Relevant certifications (cloud provider, architecture, security etc).
  • Experience in complex enterprise sales or procurement cycles.
