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.

💬 Big on collaboration
🛠️ Obsessed with building better
☕ Slightly addicted to caffeinated drinks

🧰 You’ve dabbled in SQL, mobile or cross-browser testing
💬 You’re a clear communicator—even with non-tech folks
🚀 You’re organised, proactive, and motivated to grow
📈 You care about improving processes—not just following steps
