Backend Developer – Junior (Kyndryl Graduate Program)

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

Are you ready to build the backbone of modern applications?
We are looking for a Junior Backend Developer to join our team and contribute to impactful projects that require strong technical foundations and collaborative spirit.

In This Role, You Will:

• Develop and maintain backend services and RESTful APIs using Python or Node.js (TypeScript).
• Work with Docker for containerization and implement basic logging/error handling.
• Interact with relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL/MySQL) and at least one NoSQL store (e.g., MongoDB/DynamoDB) at a basic level.
• Collaborate with frontend developers, architects, and product teams to deliver scalable and secure solutions using Git and agile practices.
• Support active projects where backend integration is critical to delivery success.

Your Future at Kyndryl
Every position at Kyndryl offers a way forward to grow your career. We have opportunities that you won’t find anywhere else, including hands-on experience, learning opportunities, and the chance to certify in all four major platforms. 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 provide 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 your work. And finally, you’re open and borderless – naturally inclusive in how you work with others.

Who You Are

• Up to 3 years of experience in backend development.
• Proficiency in Python or Node.js with TypeScript; building RESTful services.
• Basic data modeling with a relational DB and familiarity with a NoSQL database.
• Docker fundamentals (build, run, compose) and Git usage.
• Currently studying or graduated from a systems-related field (exceptions may be considered).
• Strong collaboration and communication skills.
• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and simple CI/CD.
• Introductory experience in GenAI (e.g., LangChain/LangGraph) and awareness of Bedrock, Vertex AI, or Azure OpenAI.

Preferred Skills

• Familiarity with agile methodologies (e.g., Scrum).
• Ability to interact with clients and stakeholders (customer-facing mindset).

Being You

This dedication to welcoming everyone into our company means that Kyndryl gives you – and everyone next to you – the ability to bring your whole self to work, individually and collectively, and support the activation of our equitable culture. That’s the Kyndryl Way.
