The Role

As a Computer Operator at Kyndryl, you are key to revolutionizing the way we operate complex computer systems. You will work with cutting-edge technology, supervise and control intricate networks and applications, and manage distributed systems across multi-vendor enterprise environments.

Operating on the technical frontline, you will execute batch processes according to strict service level agreements, conduct first-level incident analysis, and ensure rapid resolution or escalation. You will also help refine operational system management procedures tailored to client requirements, ensuring Kyndryl consistently delivers resilient, top-tier service.

What You Will Do

• Monitor 24x7 replication environments across critical client infrastructures using IBM Copy Services Manager (CSM), oversee network and IT event alerts via IBM Netcool, and track SAN/Storage health using ARXScan.
• Execute and monitor end-to-end backup, restore, and data recovery routines, including validating immutable copies multiple times daily.
• Carry out daily operational procedures and scheduled tasks, such as generating backup completion reports, inspecting client computer room environments, and tracking recurring operations.
• Participate in Disaster Recovery (DR) testing and business continuity drills across Mainframe, IBM i (AS/400), and Linux platforms.
• Manage physical media logistics, including operating IBM Tape Libraries and supporting administrative handoffs for off-site media storage and tape robot loading.
• Create, review, and maintain operational runbooks, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and regular shift activity logs to ensure audit readiness and process consistency.

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.

• Strong analytical mindset, sharp attention to detail, and a commitment to operational excellence.
• Strong interpersonal, communication, and collaborative skills, with full availability to work on a 24x7 rotating shift schedule.

Preferred Skills and Experience

• Previous internship, apprenticeship, or up to 2 years of experience in IT Operations, a Network Operations Center (NOC), Service Desk, or Infrastructure Support.
• Hands-on exposure to enterprise monitoring, backup, storage, or disaster recovery tooling (such as IBM CSM, IBM Netcool, ARXScan, or tape libraries).
• Working familiarity with Linux, Windows Server, IBM i (AS/400), or Mainframe platforms.
• Understanding of ITIL best practices and service desk ticketing workflows.
