Kyndryl Wintel Lead in Hyderabad, India
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
Wintel Lead at Kyndryl are project-based subject matter experts in all things infrastructure – good at providing analysis, documenting and diagraming 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 one of your clients.
There are two halves to this role: First, contributing to current projects where you analyze problems and tech issues, offer solutions, and test, modify, automate, and integrate systems. And second, long-range strategic planning of IT infrastructure and operational execution. This role isn’t specific to any one platform, so you’ll need a good feel for all of them. And because of this, you’ll experience variety and growth at Kyndryl that you won’t find anywhere else.
You’ll be involved early to offer solutions, help decide whether something can be done, and identify the technical and timeline risks up front. 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.
Wintel Lead encompasses a diverse range of responsibilities aimed at managing and optimizing the Windows, ESXi, Linux operating systems (OS), virtual machine (VM) infrastructure, and Office 365 environment within both data center and cloud environments. This entails overseeing the team responsible for administration of Windows, ESXi, Linux servers, Active Directory services, virtual machine environments, and Office 365 applications, while ensuring continuous availability, reliability, and performance optimization across all platforms. Risk mitigation efforts involve identifying and addressing potential vulnerabilities across Windows, ESXi, Linux platforms, and Office 365 applications, while strategic planning initiatives focus on aligning infrastructure objectives with broader business goals. Responsibilities including providing guidance, mentorship and technical expertise to team members across all OS platforms and Office 365 services, fostering a collaborative work environment, and driving innovation. Additionally, incident response and troubleshooting activities necessitate swift resolution of technical issues and system outages across Windows, ESXi, Linux environments, and Office 365 services, supported by comprehensive documentation and reporting on system performance and compliance status.
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.
Who You Are

Preferred Technical and Professional Experience
Bachelor’s degree in information technology, Computer Science or related field.
