What we offer

Working at Kalido means working with a solid startup that has been around since 2015. We balance our drive for delivery with flexible working arrangements, generous maternity and paternity leave, weekly team lunches, and the chance to truly shape the culture you work in. You will never run out of fascinating problems to solve and will have incredible opportunities to work with a diverse team that cares about your growth.

About Kalido

By helping everyone to easily create stronger communities and more meaningful real-world connections, Kalido’s goal is to level the playing field of opportunity. We are redefining the way people connect in their neighbourhoods, inside companies, at events, in schools, in alumni groups, in co-working spaces, and doing so throughout their lives. In August 2019 we closed a 5m USD Series A, and are backed by HCL, a global IT player with a 22 bn USD market cap, and co-founded by the #3 core team member and early investor at Alibaba. If you’re excited about empowering individuals, helping organisations to work better together, and creating a platform to power the future of work, this is the place to do it.
