About the RoleAs a Mainframe Storage Administrator, you will provide technical support with a high degree of customer satisfaction by meeting Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and ensuring process compliance. You will perform business impact analyses and risk assessments to reduce the likelihood of significant service outages or disasters.

If you thrive in a dynamic, collaborative workplace, Kyndryl offers an environment where you'll be challenged and inspired every day — with the freedom to bring creative, thoughtful solutions to the table.

Key Responsibilities• Adapt to evolving technology to meet shifting customer and business requirements.

- Analyze and research integration options for collaboration with existing external systems.
- Prepare Root Cause Analyses (RCA) and ensure timely submission in line with SLA commitments.
- Develop, document, and maintain procedures for system utilities — backup/restore, performance tuning, environment configuration, and incremental backups.

- Manage and define SMS rules and ACS routines, along with reorganization of storage datasets (RMM/HSM CDS & catalog files).

- Own problem determination and resolution within expected SLA timeframes, driving root cause analysis and preventive measures.
- Lead daily operations meetings (absent active P1 incidents).
- Support identification of problem management trends.

You'll also have the opportunity to recommend modernization strategies, identify new business opportunities, and build relationships across teams and stakeholders. The work is challenging, but you'll collaborate with a talented, diverse team and develop management and organizational skills that will serve your career long-term.
