Five yeses, or close the tab.

The button counts to five, but only you know if the yeses are true.

I have strong software engineering fundamentals: I can architect, build and ship production systems alone, across the stack. I’m a Claude Code or Codex power user — orchestrating fleets of agents is my day-to-day — and I ship in a day or two what used to take a team of five a month.
I’ve shipped outcomes under ambiguity. Not projects — outcomes: something that worked, that mattered to someone, that I drove against resistance.
I’m genuinely excited by the frontier and fluent in the latest tooling — and just as happy solving the problem with something vanilla, or in a stack that wasn’t my first choice, when that’s what delivers the customer’s outcome fastest.
I’m confident in customer-facing communication: I can support discovery, run workshops, explain technical options, hold a room of sceptical executives and earn trust with frontline operators — in the same day. Genuine, not salesy.
Travelling for work doesn’t bother me — it fits my lifestyle. Travel here is real and national: roughly a week at a time on site with my account, multiple times a quarter, more around go-lives — wherever the customer’s operation runs.

0 / 5 YESESTAKE YOUR TIME. BE HONEST.

The CV is the record. The cover letter is the one we read first — one page covering two things:

Proof you build. GitHub, a product, a demo, an architecture note, a shipped system — or an anonymised artefact if your work is confidential. Public code is helpful, not required.

One outcome story. What was broken, who it hurt, what resistance you faced, what you shipped, what changed for the people using it, what number moved — and what it cost you.

Specifics over polish. Names can be anonymised — confidential details stay confidential.

We’re committed to moving the process at pace.

We’re looking for builders with urgency: people who walk into an operation, see that the way it works is insufficient, and can’t rest until working software proves it — in days, on-site, with the customer watching. People who absorb pain and convert it into product. People who can’t leave a solvable problem alone, who could have gone out on their own and made it work, and probably will, later. You do not need to perform bravado here. Urgency can be quiet. Ownership can be calm. The signal is not how loudly you talk about pressure; it is what you build when the path is unclear. Our job is to make this the best possible place for that person to spend the next three years.

If that reads like the last three years of your life, apply this week.

BE YOU. CREATE THE FUTURE.

This role filters hard, but not on pedigree. We filter on the traits the work actually needs: engineering depth, urgency, customer empathy, ownership, ambiguity tolerance, and the willingness to be there in person when it matters. Kinetic IT is a proudly Australian, equal-opportunity employer, and an Indigenous and Veteran-friendly one. We welcome applicants of every background, ability, culture and gender, and we mean it. Whatever your path here, you’ll join a crew that wants you to be your best, real self. Stronger together.
