[Hiring] Public Cloud Solutions Architect @Kyndryl

Role Description

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.

• Run discovery and assessment workshops.
• Build the business case and total cost of ownership.
• Translate requirements into well-architected solutions on AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.
• Design for AI and agentic AI from the data and platform foundations through to the workloads.
• Decide what Kyndryl will deliver, design the landing zones, networking, identity, data, and application patterns.
• Lead the implementation teams to a clean result.
• Mentor other architects and consultants.
• Build reference architectures and reusable accelerators.
• Help set delivery standards and governance.
• Utilize newer capabilities such as agentic AI, automation, and modernization accelerators.

Qualifications

• 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 (AWS, 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.
• Strong command of core cloud domains: compute, storage, networking, identity and access management, and cloud security and governance.
• Solid grasp of cloud-native and modernization patterns: containers and Kubernetes, microservices, serverless, and application refactoring.
• Hands-on experience designing and delivering AI and agentic AI solutions on cloud.
• Experience applying AI to the delivery itself using AI-led approaches, automation, and agentic tooling.
• Experience with infrastructure as code and automation (Terraform, CloudFormation, ARM/Bicep, Ansible) and with CI/CD and DevOps practices.
• Practical understanding of security by design, cloud cost optimization, and well-architected or cloud adoption frameworks.
• Proven consulting skills: running client workshops, building business cases and TCO/ROI models, presenting to and influencing senior stakeholders.
• At least one current associate- or professional-level cloud certification.

Requirements

• Professional- or expert-tier and multi-cloud certifications across AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• Experience in a consulting, professional services, or systems integrator setting delivering cloud work for enterprise clients.
• Familiarity with hybrid and on-premises-to-cloud platforms.
• Deeper specialization in agentic AI.
• Experience mentoring architects and contributing reusable reference architectures.
• Industry or regulated-environment experience.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
