The Role Role Overview

We are seeking a hands‑on Modernization Architect who combines deep expertise in agentic AI with a proven ability to transform legacy systems into intelligent, composable platforms. In this client‑facing role, you will lead engagements from discovery through MVP— assessing existing architectures, designing modernization roadmaps, and building custom AI agents and automated workflows that unlock lasting business value. You will be equally comfortable whiteboarding a migration strategy with an enterprise CTO and writing the orchestration code that brings that strategy to life.

Key Responsibilities Application Modernization Architecture

- Assess legacy codebases, monolithic architectures, and on‑premises infrastructure to define targeted modernization strategies (re‑platform, re‑factor, re‑architect, replace)
- Design cloud‑native target architectures leveraging microservices, event‑driven patterns, API‑first design, and containerization (Docker/Kubernetes)
- Lead technical discovery workshops to inventory systems, dependencies, data flows, and integration points
- Produce modernization roadmaps with phased milestones, risk registers, and TCO/ROI analysis
- Define migration patterns for databases, middleware, and mainframe workloads to modern cloud platforms





Agentic AI Design & Build
- Design and build custom AI agents and multi‑agent workflows tailored to client‑specific business processes and modernization objectives
- Implement agentic orchestration using frameworks such as LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, Semantic Kernel, or using the Kyndryl Agentic Platform
- Create intelligent automation pipelines that replace or augment legacy batch jobs, manual handoffs, and rule‑based workflows
- Build/Enhance AI‑assisted code migration agents capable of analyzing, transforming, and validating legacy code (COBOL, VB6, PL/SQL, .Net, etc.)

Client Discovery
- Lead client‑facing discovery sessions, architecture reviews, and modernization readiness assessments
- Translate legacy estate complexity into clear business risk narratives and modernization business cases
- Serve as a trusted technical advisor to senior stakeholders, guiding both strategy and sequencing
- Facilitate workshops to align business owners, engineers, and operations teams around target state architectures
- Produce actionable deliverables: strategy decks, architecture blueprints, migration playbooks, and agent workflow specifications

MVP & Presentations
- Design and deliver live demonstrations of agentic modernization capabilities, including code transformation, intelligent workflow automation, and AI‑assisted operations
- Build reusable demo environments and MVPs that showcase modernization outcomes at different stages of a client journey
- Present modernization strategies and AI workflow designs to both technical teams and executive audiences

Agent & Workflow Development for Clients
- Scope, design, and deliver production‑ready AI agents based on client‑supplied requirements and use cases
- Lead joint development sessions ("AI pairing") with client engineering teams to accelerate capability
