Life at Kalkomey

Not all of our decisions are driven by data. We’re also very casual, and we know how to treat each other (and furry friends) right.

People First

We make life at Kalkomey as enjoyable for our employees as possible. Work-from-home flexibility and generous PTO days are just a couple of ways we make it easier for our employees to find that perfect work–life balance.

Awesome Activities

We love educating others about outdoor recreation activities, but we also love enjoying these activities first-hand. That is why it is not uncommon for us to get outside as a team and put our education to the test.

Furry Friends

Come by our office and you will be greeted by some friendly faces (and some slobbery ones too). We couldn’t be happier to host a pawful of our team members’ dogs on any given day.

We’re always looking for great talent. Browse our latest job postings to see what positions are available in our Dallas office.
