The Role
Your 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.
What you will do
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
This role opens the door to many career paths, both vertical and horizontal, and there may be opportunity to travel. It’s a great chance for database administrators or other techs to break into the cloud. It’s also a solid path to become enterprise or chief architect or a distinguished engineer! Whatever you see for yourself, you’ll find the opportunity here.
Who You Are
You’re good at what you do and possess the required experience to prove it. However, equally as important – you have a growth mindset; keen to drive your own personal and professional development. You are customer-focused – someone who prioritizes customer success in their work. And finally, you’re open and borderless – naturally inclusive in how you work with others.
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
Strong command of core cloud domains: compute, storage, networking (VPC/VNet, hybrid connectivity, DNS, load balancing), identity and access management, and cloud security and governance
Solid grasp of cloud-native and modernization patterns: containers and Kubernetes (EKS/AKS/GKE), microservices, serverless, and application…
