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

Kyndryl's Security organization is a critical practice, ensuring enterprises, regardless of their size and complexity, remain secure, available and protected against modern cyber threats. We take cybersecurity seriously. We are committed not only to advanced security services and technologies, but also to empowering communities with essential cyber skills.

When you join Kyndryl, you are not only joining a team; you are becoming part of a legacy. At Kyndryl, cybersecurity is not just a job – it is a passion and a commitment to designing, running and managing the most modern and secure technology infrastructure that the world depends on every day.

As a Zero Trust, Network & Cloud Security Architect with strong consulting skills, you will be at the core of how our customers secure their environments. You will combine deep technical expertise in Zero Trust, network security, cloud security, DevSecOps and identity and access management with the ability to engage customers, understand their challenges and guide them through security transformation.

In this role, you will not only define controls – you willadvise, design and lead:

• Assess current security postures across network, cloud and identity.

• Define target Zero Trust architectures for users, devices, workloads, applications and networks.

• Design secure architectures for hybrid and multi-cloud environments (e.g. Azure, AWS, GCP).

• Define secure patterns for connectivity, remote access, segmentation and edge security.

• Integrate security into DevOps practices and CI/CD pipelines (DevSecOps).

• Design and enhance identity, access and privileged access models.

You will work closely with customer stakeholders, architects and technical teams to translate business and risk requirements into concrete architectures, patterns and roadmaps. You will lead workshops, perform assessments, present recommendations and create reference architectures and technical documentation. You will also support delivery and implementation teams to ensure that the intended design is correctly realized.

In Kyndryl's Zero Trust, Network & Cloud Security Architecture team, you are not just securing today's environments – you are helping customers modernize and standardize how they protect access, workloads and connectivity.
