Your Future at Kyndryl
The career path ahead is full of exciting opportunities to grow and advance within the job family. With dedication and hard work, you can climb the ladder to higher bands, achieving coveted positions such as Principal Engineer or Vice President of Software. These roles not only offer the chance to inspire and innovate, but also bring with them a sense of pride and accomplishment for having reached the pinnacle of your career in the software industry.

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.

• Proven experience as a DevOps Engineer or similar role, preferably in a complex and security-focused environment.

• Strong knowledge of DevOps principles and best practices.

• Experience with managing DevSecOps Toolchains and associated tools, including monitoring, incident resolution, patching, and upgrades.

• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, version control systems (e.g., Git), and configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible).

• Experience with log management and analysis tools, such as ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana).

• Knowledge of security scanning and vulnerability management tools.

• Understanding of containerization technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes) and related practices.

• Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and infrastructure-as-code concepts.

• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

• Excellent communication and collaboration abilities to work effectively with cross-functional teams.

• Certifications in relevant areas (e.g., AWS, Azure, DevOps) are a plus.
