Lead, Systems Administration (Windows, Linux & Azure)

Job description

**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**

As a System Administrator at Kyndryl, you’ll administer and maintain Windows and Linux server environments hosted in Microsoft Azure.

Provision, configure, and monitor Azure Virtual Machines (VMs) using the Azure Portal and Infrastructure-as-Code tools (e.g., ARM templates, Terraform).

Ensure security hardening and compliance through patching, health checks, and vulnerability remediation.

Collaborate within the Virtual Machine squad to deliver scalable, secure, and resilient infrastructure solutions.

Troubleshoot complex OS-level issues and participate in incident response and root cause analysis.

There’s never a typical day as a System Administrator at Kyndryl, because no two projects are alike.

You’ll identify systemic issues and proactively contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.

Operate effectively in both Agile and traditional project delivery environments.

Communicate technical information clearly and concisely to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Maintain accurate and up-to-date documentation for systems, processes, and procedures.

Participate in regular team meetings to review status, raise issues, and track action items.

Adapt quickly to shifting priorities and deadlines in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

Your future at Kyndryl
Every position at Kyndryl offers a way forward to grow your career, from Junior System Administrator to Architect.

We have opportunities for Cloud Hyperscalers that you won’t find anywhere else, including hands-on experience, learning opportunities, and the chance to certify in all four major platforms.

One of the benefits of Kyndryl is that we work with clients in a variety of industries, from banking to retail.

Whether you want to broaden your knowledge base or narrow your scope and specialize in a specific sector, you can find your opportunity here.

**Who You Are**

You’re good at what you do and possess the required experience to prove it.

However, equally as important – you have a growth mindset; keen to drive your own personal and professional development.

You are customer-focused – someone who prioritizes customer success in their work.

And finally, you’re open and borderless – naturally inclusive in how you work with others.

• Experience with vulnerability remediation workflows and maintaining audit-ready evidence

• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment

• Good English communication skill to handle meetings with clients, partners and co-workers

• Bachelor's Degree
