Kyndryl Graduate Program - Data Scientist

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

Who is Kyndryl?

We design, build, manage and modernise the mission-critical information technology the world depends on every day. Our business quite literally powers the vital systems that run banks, stock markets, airlines, automotive and healthcare companies, governments and more. What does this mean? It means that, as a global technology service company, we make things possible so other companies can help people live their lives.

Your Role

Are you ready to join a team of Data Scientists at Kyndryl in the Liverpool AI Innovation Lab? As a Data Scientist Graduate at Kyndryl, you will be the bridge between business problems and innovative solutions, using a powerful blend of well-defined methodologies, statistics, mathematics, domain expertise, consulting, and AI tools. You'll wear many hats, and each day will present a new puzzle to solve, a new challenge to conquer.

You will dive deep into the heart of our business, understanding its objectives and requirements – viewing them through the lens of business acumen, and converting this knowledge into a data problem. You’ll collect and explore data, seeking underlying patterns and initial insights that will guide the creation of hypotheses.

In this role, you will embark on a transformative process of business understanding, data understanding, and data preparation. Utilising statistical and mathematical modelling techniques, you'll have the opportunity to create models that defy convention – models that hold the key to solving intricate business challenges. With an acute eye for accuracy and generalisation, you'll evaluate these models to ensure they not only solve business problems but do so optimally.

Additionally, you're not just building and validating models – you’re deploying them as code to applications and processes, ensuring that the model(s) you've selected sustain business value throughout their lifecycle.

Your expertise doesn't stop at data; you'll become intimately familiar with our business processes and have the ability to navigate their complexities, identifying issues and crafting solutions that drive meaningful change in these domains. You will develop and apply standards and policies that protect our organisation's most valuable asset – ensuring that data is secure, private, accurate, available, and, most importantly, usable. Your mastery will extend to data management, migration, strategy, change management, and policy and regulation.

Your journey as a Data Scientist Graduate will start with an immersive learning program, focused on building a core set of business and consulting skills, which you will use working on exciting projects with our flagship clients. We will support you in kickstarting your career by offering rotation, shadowing and specialisation opportunities during the 2-year program.

If you're ready to embrace the power of data to transform our business and embark on an epic data adventure, then join us at Kyndryl as a Data Scientist Graduate. Together, let's redefine what's possible and unleash your potential.

Who You Are
