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
Mainframe Architects are the critical bridge between Kyndryl and our clients, playing a technical leadership role that unites diverse stakeholders — from clients and governance teams to project executives, delivery teams, and even external vendors. From project inception to completion, you’ll ensure the delivery of the right solution on time and within budget.
As a Mainframe Architect, you’ll leverage your expertise to shape and lead technical solutions. At the start of each project, you’ll act as the subject matter expert, collaborating with clients to understand their needs, gather inputs, and define what success looks like. You’ll design tailored solutions that align with client goals while showcasing Kyndryl’s capabilities. As the project progresses, you’ll guide the implementation as the technical leader, ensuring every aspect of the solution meets the highest standards.
At Kyndryl, we work with all major cloud platforms, giving you the opportunity to apply your knowledge broadly and push beyond your current limits. You’ll also learn to collaborate effectively with other subject matter experts, creatively navigating pre-existing constraints to deliver exceptional results. Whether you’re building new skills or pursuing certifications, you’ll find ample opportunities for growth and development here.
In this role, you’ll have the unique satisfaction of influencing, designing, and delivering solutions that delight our clients. Your work will have a tangible impact, making you a trusted partner in their success.
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 Skills and Experience
Years of experience: 15
Deep expertise within one or more mainframe database technologies, such as (but not limited to) IBM DB2TM, IBM IMS Database, Cincom Supra, Software AG Adabas, Broadcom Datacom
Excellent problem-solving and resolution capabilities, ability to analyze data and make decisions.
Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to convey complex technical insights to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Knowledge and experience of database performance, capacity management, tuning and high availability options.
Ability to articulate the value of modernizing databases, with up-to-date knowledge of the latest features and functions, and how they can be exploited for business benefit.
Good working knowledge of core mainframe subsystems and database query language components including z/OS, JCL, JES, RACF/ACF2, CICS, COBOL, PL/1, SQL, Natural etc.
Preferred Skills and Experience
Familiar with a variety of IT concepts, practices, and procedures across an Enterprise
Knowledge of design techniques, tools, and principals involved in the production of precision technical plans, blueprints, drawings, and models
Logic and reasoning to identify the strengths and weaknesses of alternative solutions, conclusions, or approaches to problems.
Advanced certification in key technologies within your area of expertise.
Knowledge of modernizing database systems, including integration into a hybrid cloud environment and gaining value from data held within mainframe databases.
Experience in Agile (Kanban, SAFe, and Scrum)
Experience and understanding of at least one or more cloud providers.
Being You
Diversity is a whole lot more than what we look like or where we come from, it’s how we think and who we are. We welcome people of all cultures, backgrounds, and experiences.

That’s the Kyndryl Way.
