FORWARD DEPLOYED ENGINEERING.

Five yeses, or close the tab.

Nobody is counting except you — which is exactly how the whole job works.

0 / 5 YESESTAKE YOUR TIME. BE HONEST.

Send two things. No cover letter.

  1. 01

    Whatever best proves you can build: GitHub, a product, a demo, a deployment story.

  2. 02

    The story of an outcome you shipped against the odds. No spec, sceptical stakeholders, missing infrastructure, hostile timeline — and it worked anyway. What was the resistance, what did you build, what changed for the people who used it, and what did it cost you. Half a page. Specifics over polish. If nothing comes to mind, this isn’t your job yet — and that’s genuinely fine.

We’re looking for mavericks 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 with something to prove, who could have started a company, and probably will, later. 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, send the two things this week.

BE YOU. CREATE THE FUTURE.

This role filters hard — but on one thing only: the drive to make an operation work. Nothing else. 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.
