This means dealing with both client expectations and internal challenges \xe2\x80\x93 in other words, there are plenty of opportunities to make a difference, and a lot of people will witness your contributions. In fact, a frequent sign of success for our Infrastructure Specialists is when clients come back to us and ask for the same person by name. That\xe2\x80\x99s the kind of impact you can have!

This is a project-based role where you\xe2\x80\x99ll enjoy deep involvement throughout the lifespan of a project, as well as the chance to work closely with Architects, Technicians, and PMs. Whatever your current level of tech savvy or where you want your career to lead, you\xe2\x80\x99ll find the right opportunities and a buddy to support your growth. Boredom? Trust us, that won\xe2\x80\x99t be an issue.

Your future at Kyndryl
