• Exclusive Resume Review Receive expert feedback with personalized suggestions to enhance your resume., 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.
