Description
🌟 Why Kinetic?
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
Our Professional Services Team brings that transformation to life. We don’t just build great products—we implement them, tailor them to each customer’s needs, and make sure everything works like magic.
Now, we’re looking for a Web Developer to join our team. You won’t be stuck in the back room coding in isolation. You’ll be right in the action—collaborating with consultants, customising front-end solutions, and helping our SaaS products land perfectly in the real world.
This is your chance to combine technical creativity with customer impact—and have a blast doing it.
Key Responsibilities
🧭 Why This Role Rocks
This isn’t a “stick to the spec” kind of job. It’s a “get stuck in, figure it out, and make it work better than anyone thought possible” kind of role.

Build sleek, accessible, and intuitive front-end solutions using React, TypeScript, and modern web tech.
🧩 Client-Specific Front-End Config
Support tailored software installs and custom UI work that directly enhances client experiences.
🤝 Collaborate with Real Humans
Work with implementation consultants and clients to understand their needs—and turn them into interfaces people love using.
🔍 Debug, Polish & Perfect
Test, refine, and ensure front-end components work smoothly across devices and browsers.
🧠 Innovate on the Fly
Spot opportunities for smarter, reusable components and bring best practices to life.
📦 Contribute to Standards
Help shape front-end delivery processes across the Professional Services team.
