About the role
- The engineer will work across a Python/FastAPI backend, a React/TypeScript frontend, and the supporting release workflows needed to keep the portal secure, accessible, reliable, and ready for production operations.
- Join Kyndryl as an Application Consultant and become a catalyst for innovation and transformation.
- In this role, you'll be at the forefront of driving change and enabling our customers to harness the power of technology to achieve their wildest ambitions.
Responsibilities
- Support the BFF authentication model using OIDC-based login, server-side sessions, secure cookies, protected-route dependencies, and token validation.
- Build and maintain backend integrations for headless Drupal preview/protected content, public alerts, notification preferences, contact information, external alerting systems, and future Salesforce workflows.
- Own database-facing application changes using SQLModel, SQLAlchemy, Alembic migrations, async repositories, MySQL/RDS compatibility, idempotent background jobs, and production-safe schema rollout practices.
- Maintain the React/Vite/TypeScript frontend, including routing, authenticated UX, public disaster recovery workflows, content rendering, React Query data access, and React Hook Form workflow forms.
- Preserve the governed design-system boundary, including Radix-backed primitives, DTCG design tokens, generated CSS/Tailwind/Drupal token outputs, WCAG 2.1 AA behavior, and accessibility tests.
- Document implementation decisions, integration contracts, operational assumptions, and handoff notes so the portal remains maintainable by the broader team.
- Your keen eye for detail will shine as you analyze requirements, meticulously plan design and implementation work, all while adhering to time, cost, and quality targets.
- Your sharp insights and discerning judgement will empower them to make informed decisions that drive their organizations towards unprecedented heights.
- At Kyndryl, we design, build, manage and modernize the mission-critical technology systems that the world depends on every day.
- 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.
Requirements
- Data and persistence: Experience with relational data modeling, SQL, migrations, SQLAlchemy or comparable ORM patterns, and production-safe database changes.
- Frontend delivery: Working knowledge of React, TypeScript, modern routing, form handling, API clients, component systems, responsive UI, and accessibility expectations.
Nice to have
- Experience with headless CMS integrations, especially Drupal JSON/page/menu/view contracts, route resolution, preview workflows, cache metadata, and safe rich-content rendering.
- Experience with public-sector identity or enterprise OIDC integrations, secure login flows, MFA/step-up patterns, and role/scope normalization.
- Experience with notification and alerting systems, email/SMS provider abstraction, verification-code flows, idempotent delivery generation, or event-driven background processing.
- Exposure to observability practices with Dynatrace, CloudWatch, structured logging, correlation IDs, metrics, alerting, and production triage.
- Experience Profile
- Prior enterprise or public-sector experience is helpful, especially where security, accessibility, documentation, and change control are important.
- 2+ years providing technical leadership, mentoring, code review, or delivery guidance is preferred, but this role is not intended to be heavy people management.
- Success Measures
Skills
- 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with meaningful ownership of production web applications.
- 5+ years of hands-on Python backend development in production or production-like systems.
- Backend and frontend changes pass the repository quality gates and improve maintainability rather than bypassing established boundaries.
- Authentication, session, PII, content, and notification changes preserve security and privacy expectations.
- Drupal/content, notification, identity, and future Salesforce integrations remain well typed, testable, and documented.
- The portal can be diagnosed and released through existing workflows without relying on undocumented individual knowledge.
Benefits
- From revolutionizing healthcare to shaping the future of finance, you'll collaborate with a diverse range of industries, tailoring cutting-edge solutions to meet each customer's unique needs.
- Maintain and enhance the FastAPI backend, including API routes, service boundaries, request correlation, configuration, health/readiness checks, metrics, and telemetry ingestion.
- Those who believe they are eligible may apply for a medical or religious accommodation prior to the start of employment.
