Kabongo began acting in 2009, appearing in a little seen short film. He subsequently worked as an extra on the television series Nikita and Flashpoint. One of Kabongo's early background actor jobs was on the hit 2004 film Mean Girls.

Kabongo's first role in a full-length feature film came in 2013 with the release of The Animal Project, directed by Ingrid Veninger. The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and received generally positive reviews.

Throughout the 2010s, Kabongo guest-starred in a variety of television programs, including Call Me Fitz (2012), Murdoch Mysteries (2013), Rookie Blue (2013–2014), and Quantico (2015). He completed an actor's residency at Norman Jewison's Canadian Film Centre in 2015.

In 2014, Kabongo portrayed a gladiator in Paul W. S. Anderson's romantic historical disaster film Pompeii. The film won the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television's Golden Screen Award for 2014 as the year's top-grossing Canadian film.

Alongside filmmaker M. H. Murray, Kabongo co-produced the first season of the web series Teenagers. In 2013, Murray approached Kabongo with the scripts and asked him to help produce the series; they subsequently cast the rest of the characters together using only actors from Toronto. Louis Chunovic of Playback published a piece on the series, writing that "the young creators of Teenagers had to have plenty of luck, pluck, talent, and grit to get this far. And that portends a Hollywood ending". Kabongo also starred as the lead male protagonist in the series. Teenagers received positive reviews from critics and was frequently compared to the Degrassi franchise and the UK television series Skins. The series amassed more than 10 million combined views on YouTube over the course of three seasons, from 2014 to 2017. For his performance in the second season of Teenagers, Kabongo earned his first Canadian Screen Award nomination.

In 2016, Kabongo produced and starred in A Man's Story, a short film for which he received funding from bravoFACT. The short film premiered at the ReelWorld Film Festival. That year, he also played a supporting role in Antibirth, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and was released on September 2, 2016 in the U.S., by IFC Midnight.

In September 2016, CBC announced it had commissioned a one-hour drama series that follows the star players of an under-21 soccer academy in Montreal, titled 21 Thunder, with Kabongo slated to star as one of the lead characters, an Ivory Coast mid-fielder named Junior Lolo. The series premiered in Canada on July 31, 2017, to generally positive reviews. Also that year, Kabongo appeared in three episodes of the CBC series Frankie Drake Mysteries as a boxer named Moses, and he starred opposite Mouna Traoré in Brown Girl Begins, a post-apocalyptic science fiction film directed by Sharon Lewis.

In 2020, he starred in an episode of the CBS All Access series Star Trek: Discovery as V’Kir. That year, he also played a supporting role in the Canadian political comedy film Québexit, which premiered at the Cinéfest Sudbury International Film Festival in September 2020.

Kabongo received a second Canadian Screen Award nomination in 2022, for his performance in the television film Death She Wrote.
