Senior Network Security Specialist

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

Infrastructure Specialists at Kyndryl are project-based subject matter experts in all things infrastructure. They are good at providing analysis, documenting and diagramming work for hand-off, offering timely solutions, and generally “figuring it out.” This is a hands-on role where your feel for the interaction between a system and its environment will be invaluable to every client.
 

We are looking for an experienced Senior Network Security Specialist to join our team and enhance our network’s security posture. In this role, you will be responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining robust security solutions to protect our client's network infrastructure from potential threats.

Key responsibilities include conducting network assessments, developing and implementing security solutions policies and protocols, and ensuring compliance with industry standards and best practices. Collaboration with cross-functional teams is essential to ensure that security measures align with business objectives and operational processes.

The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of network security technologies, including firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), VPNs, and encryption methodologies. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills are crucial for identifying and addressing vulnerabilities proactively.
 

You’ll be involved early to offer solutions, help decide whether something can be done, and identify the technical and timeline risks upfront. This means dealing with both client expectations and internal challenges – 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’s the kind of impact you can have!

This is a project-based role where you’ll 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’ll find the right opportunities and a buddy to support your growth. Boredom? Trust us, that won’t be an issue.

Your future at Kyndryl
There are lots of opportunities to gain certification and qualifications on the job, and you’ll continuously grow as a Cloud Hyperscaler. Many of our Infrastructure Specialists are on a path toward becoming either an Architect or Distinguished Engineer, and there are opportunities at every skill level to grow in either of these directions.
