Description
At Kinetic, we don’t just build software—we build the systems that power university life behind the scenes.
From student accommodation to campus events, our smart tech helps over 350 universities worldwide run smoothly, efficiently, and digitally. We’ve been around for 25+ years, and we’re still growing fast.
We’re backed by Volaris Group, part of Constellation Software Inc., one of the world’s largest software companies. That gives us the scale, stability, and global reach—without the corporate grey.
At Kinetic, you’ll find a team that’s:
🔍 Curious by default
💬 Big on collaboration
🛠️ Obsessed with building better
☕ Slightly addicted to caffeinated drinks
You don’t need years of experience or a drawer full of certificates. If you’re passionate about coding, eager to learn, and ready to turn curiosity into capability—we’ll teach you the rest.
As a Junior Web Developer, you’ll join our Professional Services team, working on real client projects, building features, fixing problems, and learning how software goes from concept to customer.
You’ll be working with experienced developers, getting mentorship, and growing fast. This is hands-on, practical development—not theoretical tutorials.
Key Responsibilities
You’ll get stuck into:
🧱 Building web apps using C#, ASP.NET, .NET Core, Web API
🎨 Writing clean, functional HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
⚙️ Using libraries like jQuery and Bootstrap (and knowing when not to)
🧠 Crafting efficient SQL queries and understanding SQL Server workflows
🚀 Deploying real software to real users—on-prem and in the cloud
🔄 Getting comfortable with Git, Bitbucket, and version control workflows
🗣️ Communicating clearly with clients (especially non-technical ones)
✍️ Writing maintainable, well-documented code your future self will love
👥 Collaborating in a fast-paced, supportive dev team
Skills, Knowledge & Expertise
👀 What We’re Looking For
We don’t expect you to know everything—but you should be excited to learn. You’ll likely have:
✅ Some experience with C#, ASP.NET, HTML, CSS, JavaScript (from uni, a bootcamp, or personal projects)
✅ A curious mindset—you’re the type who experiments, Googles, and builds
✅ Solid communication skills—you don’t need to present TED Talks, just explain your thinking
✅ Pride in writing clean code, solving problems, and doing things properly
➕ Bonus points if you’ve played with SQL, Git, or AI tools
