The Role

About the role

At Kyndryl, we are looking for a Network Platforms, Automation & AI Operations consultant to help shape, industrialize, and deliver the next generation of enterprise network modernization capabilities.

This role is both a client-facing transformation role and a capability-building / software-building role. The successful candidate will help Kyndryl design, build, and scale modernization programs that combine network architecture, software engineering, cloud-native platforms, automation, observability, data engineering, AIOps, and AI-enabled operations.

You will work with large-scale enterprise environments, helping customers evolve from traditional network operations to more software-driven, observable, automated, data-informed, and resilient operating models. This includes defining architectures, roadmaps, reusable assets, delivery accelerators, and platform capabilities that improve reliability, reduce operational effort, accelerate incident resolution, and increase service quality.

A key part of the role will be to design and develop reusable software components for network modernization, including automation services, API integrations, data ingestion pipelines, observability connectors, AI-enabled operational workflows, copilots, agentic AI components, and reusable accelerators that can be industrialized across multiple clients and engagements.

The role requires a strong foundation in enterprise networking, but it is equally important that the candidate brings a strong engineering mindset and hands-on experience across software development, APIs, automation, data pipelines, cloud platforms, Kubernetes/container platforms, DevOps practices, agile delivery, and AI-enabled operational use cases.

You will act as a trusted advisor to client stakeholders while also building reusable capabilities for Kyndryl, including assessment frameworks, reference architectures, automation blueprints, observability models, data/AI integration patterns, agentic AI use cases, demos, playbooks, reusable code components, and delivery methodologies.

• Translate business, application, and operational requirements into scalable, secure, observable, and automated network platform designs.
• Support the modernization of traditional network environments through software-defined networking, cloud networking, segmentation, resilience, and platform-based operating models.
• Integrate network platforms with cloud services, security platforms, ITSM tools, observability solutions, and automation/orchestration frameworks.
• Provide technical leadership in complex client environments, ensuring that network modernization initiatives are aligned with business outcomes, operational requirements, and long-term scalability.

Software Engineering, Automation & Cloud-Native Platforms

• Design and develop reusable software components to support network modernization and AI-enabled operations.
• Build automation services, APIs, connectors, workflows, and integration components using modern software engineering practices.
• Develop Infrastructure as Code and automation frameworks for network lifecycle management, configuration, compliance, validation, and remediation.
• Contribute to cloud-native platform designs using containers, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, Git-based workflows, and DevOps practices.
• Industrialize reusable assets, code libraries, templates, and delivery accelerators that can be applied across multiple clients and engagements.

Observability, Data Engineering & AIOps

• Define observability frameworks for network operations, including telemetry, metrics, logs, events, flows, traces, correlation, and service-level indicators.
• Design and implement dat
