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.\nThe Role\nBackend Engineering & Delivery\nArchitect, build, and scale backend services and APIs using C#, .NET Core, and ASP.NET Core, integrating with legacy systems, third-party APIs, and existing data models.\nApply clean architecture, SOLID principles, dependency injection, and repository/service patterns to keep systems maintainable, testable, and scalable. \nAgentic AI Development Practices\nApply agentic AI development practices-using AI coding agents (such as GitHub Copilot) throughout the development lifecycle-to accelerate backend design, coding, testing, and code review. \nImplement and maintain agentic development workflows and CI/CD processes, including automated pipelines that leverage AI agents for code review, test generation, and deployment validation.\nDesign and maintain backend APIs and services that reliably support agentic and LLM-powered experiences, including streaming responses, robust error handling, and integration with multi-agent orchestration frameworks.\nCollaborate with frontend and AI engineering teams to ensure backend systems integrate cleanly with agentic workflows, RAG pipelines, and real-time data needs.\nCustomer Engagement & Solution Integrity\nPartner directly with subject matter experts to understand business challenges, helping to translate complex requirements into high-quality, fit-for-purpose technical architectures.\nTake part in end-to-end technical delivery from scoping and prototyping to production deployment, prioritizing sustainable, long-term outcomes over temporary fixes.\nBridge engineering rigor with business value, communicating technical trade-offs and solution impact confidently to both technical teams and executive stakeholders.\nField Intelligence & Platform Contribution\nSystematically capture deployment learnings, document best practices, and share insights to continuously enhance Kyndryl's core AI platforms and frameworks.\nCollaborate daily with engineering leads to improve deployment pipelines and cultivate an open, knowledge-sharing engineering culture.\nContribute to CI/CD pipeline health for backend build and release processes in Azure DevOps, including branching strategies, environment configuration, and deployment troubleshooting.\nKyndryl currently does not require employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, however, if you are hired to work at a client, customer, or partner location, you may be required to show proof of vaccinationto align with their respective COVID-19 vaccinationpolicies. Those who believe they are eligible may apply for a medical or religious accommodation prior to the start of employment.\nWho You Are\nRequired Skills and Experience\n5+ years of professional software engineering experience with strong proficiency in C#, .NET Core, and ASP.NET Core (modern versions, not primarily legacy .NET Framework).\nHands-on experience using AI coding agents and agentic development tools (such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or similar) as a core part of the software development lifecycle, including implementing and maintaining agentic workflows within CI/CD pipelines.\nExperience designing, building, and integrating REST APIs, including authentication/authorization, error handling, versioning, and JSON-based communication with third-party and legacy systems.\nPractical SQL Server experience, including query optimization, stored procedures where appropriate, Entity Framework/Core, and data modeling - including working with existing complex data models.\nAzure experience, particularly Azure App Services, Functions, Service Bus, Key Vault, Storage, Application Insights, and Azure SQL, along with Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines, branching strategies, and environment configuration.\nExperience working on large, enterprise-scale applications with multiple integrations across business domains, including legacy systems and outdated APIs. \nUnderstanding of microservices and distributed systems, including messaging/event-driven patterns, asynchronous processing, retries, and resiliency.\nApplies modern architecture and design patterns - SOLID principles, dependency injection, repository/service patterns, and clean architecture - to keep codebases maintainable and scalable.\nTreats automated testing (unit, integration, and mocking) as a core part of development, not something owned solely by QA.\nZero trust security mindset, including secure API development, secrets management, authentication/authorization, and avoiding common vulnerabilities (OWASP).\nComfortable diagnosing production issues - from logs and performance bottlenecks to failed deployments and API/database problems - using logging, monitoring, and telemetry tools (such as Application Insights).\nStrong code quality mindset, including participating in code reviews, submitting frequent pull requests, refactoring, managing technical debt, and following team coding standards.\nAbility to understand existing systems holistically and work confidently within a large complex enterprise codebase including integrating with and modernizing legacy systems without assuming everything needs to be rewritten.\nDegree-level qualification in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Informatics, Data Science, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical work experience).\nPreferred Skills and Experience\nExperience with backend testing frameworks (such as xUnit, NUnit, or MSTest) and mocking libraries (such as Moq).\nExperience using AI agent tools for automated code review, test generation, or refactoring (such as Copilot Workspace, Cursor, or similar agentic coding assistants).\nExperience with event-driven/messaging platforms (such as Azure Service Bus, Kafka, or RabbitMQ) and asynchronous processing patterns.\nT-shaped technical profile with deep expertise in backend engineering combined with broad understanding of agentic AI development practices and enterprise consulting.\nActive technical contributions or feedback provided to core AI platforms, open-source repositories, or internal frameworks.\nExperience modernizing or incrementally improving existing backend systems.\nActive professional certifications in backend frameworks, cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), or AI-assisted development pathways.\nAdvanced degree (Master's or higher) in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Science, or a closely related technical discipline. \nBeing You\nDiversity is a whole lot more than what we look like or where we come from, it’s how we think and who we are.
