Senior Associates, System Administrator

In breve

Kyndryl is a global provider of mission‑critical technology services, helping leading businesses run and modernise the systems that give them a competitive edge. As a Senior Associate System Administrator you will join a team that tackles complex infrastructure challenges for some of the world's biggest clients across sectors such as banking and retail. The role sits at the intersection of operations and innovation, giving you exposure to a wide range of platforms, services and modernisation projects. On a daily basis you will manage client system data, resolve tickets, and ensure security compliance. You'll oversee a queue of assignments, work directly with technicians, and prioritise work to deliver effective solutions. The position also involves recommending modernisation options, spotting new business opportunities and building relationships with other teams and stakeholders. Because each project is different, you'll constantly adapt to new technologies and client environments while maintaining high‑quality service delivery. The core technical expectations include hands‑on experience with Microsoft Windows Server 2016/2019, implementation and ongoing management, as well as solid knowledge of VMware ESX. You must also be comfortable managing public and private cloud environments, particularly migrations from on‑premises to cloud solutions. In addition, the role values automation skills, especially infrastructure‑as‑code for IaaS, experience in vulnerability management, and proficiency with Microsoft Active Directory and federation services. A growth mindset, customer focus and an inclusive, collaborative attitude are also highlighted as essential personal qualities. Beyond the required skill set, Kyndryl offers a hybrid‑friendly culture that prioritises employee well‑being through its "Be Well" programs, covering financial, mental, physical and social health. You'll have access to continuous learning opportunities, including certifications from Microsoft, Google and Amazon, and a clear career path from Junior System Administrator to Architect. The company's diverse client base lets you either broaden your expertise across industries or specialise in a particular sector, while the supportive environment encourages belonging and professional development.
