Who You Are

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 - pushing ourselves to go further in our efforts to build a more equitable, inclusive world for our employees, our customers and our communities.

In our AI Led Application Modernization team we both create new applications and modernize old ones. We're a relatively new part of Kyndryl and operate with a startup mentality. We know that the way that software is created is changing and we have the opportunity to build a team that's aligned to the future. We end up modernizing all kinds of applications from the mainframe and Fortran to J2EE apps and ASP web front ends. We end up building new applications that are user centric. In both cases we use (and continue to improve) our Kyndryl Agentic Framework.

Kyndryl is seeking a hands-on Senior Software Developer / Technical Lead with an AI focus to help us lead teams that build new applications and modernize existing ones for our clients. You will work as part of an AI Led Application Modernization team that believes the way software is designed, built, tested, and maintained is changing quickly-and that senior technical leaders have an opportunity to shape how teams adopt these changes responsibly and effectively. Among your responsibilities will be:

Set technical direction for delivery teams, including architecture, engineering practices, modernization approach, AI adoption patterns, and quality expectations. Remain hands-on in the work by designing, coding, reviewing, testing, and troubleshooting software while helping other developers deliver well-architected solutions. Use AI-assisted development tools and create fit-for-purpose agents and agentic workflows using frameworks such as LangGraph, A2A, MCP-enabled tools, or similar approaches when they are the right solution for a client or delivery challenge.

This role is both hands-on and leadership-oriented. You will write code, review AI-generated output, guide architectural decisions, mentor developers, establish delivery patterns, and help teams use AI responsibly to build and modernize software faster without sacrificing quality, security, or maintainability.

How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

Know your rights as a candidate and an employee:

The city

The job is in Dallas, TX. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.

How Dallas compares. Among the 120 largest places in Texas, Dallas is #3 by population, #112 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #42 for remote work (#1 = most), #46 for college degrees (#1 = most). Its county, Dallas County, is #8 of 254 counties for average pay ($89,284).

The place in numbers

Dallas has 1,307,930 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 4.3% of the population of Texas. It covers 340 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 3,850 people per square mile. The median age is 33.4, 6% younger than the state median (33.4 against 35.6).

Housing

The median gross rent is $1,472 a month (rent plus utilities), 5% above the state median ($1,472 against $1,403). Over a year that is 25.0% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $320,700, which is 4.5 times the median household income ($70,518). 42.4% of households own their home, 32% below the state average (42.4% against 62.6%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.

Work and pay

The Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX metropolitan area has 4,049,800 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $51,440 a year, about the same as the national median ($51,440 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (490,190 jobs, median $47,080); transportation and material moving (423,430 jobs, median $44,570); management (379,320 jobs, median $128,140). The area is most specialised in computer and mathematical (1.4 times) and management (1.3 times), where the share of workers is above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($128,140) and computer and mathematical ($121,440). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Dallas County was 4.2%. 68.6% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Dallas County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 66.6% drive alone, 2.1% use public transit, 2.1% walk, 15.8% work from home. 14.1% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 17% below the state average (14.1% against 16.9%).

People and education

38.2% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 13% above the state share (38.2% against 33.8%). 23.4% of residents were born outside the United States, 33% above the state share (23.4% against 17.6%). The poverty rate is 16.7%, 21% above the state rate (16.7% against 13.8%).

Climate

The warmest month is Aug, averaging 86°F (30.1°C), and the coolest is Jan at 44°F (6.4°C). About 921 mm (36 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; May is the wettest month (116 mm) and Jul the driest (55 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.

Nearby cities to compare

Closest cities in this guide: Mesquite (11 miles, similar rent); Garland (11 miles, rent 11% higher); Farmers Branch (11 miles, rent 27% higher); Irving (13 miles, rent 10% higher). Rent differences are against Dallas; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
