Making it work and working it out.
What You'll Do

You’ll be counted upon to work with autonomy in the context of a distributed team.
Full-time applicants are preferred, but we are open to contract and PT opportunities. No recruiters.

About Kalamuna
Before we were Kalamuna, we each worked with causes that mean something to us. We’ve worked with political campaigns and arts organizations and every other kind of endeavor that means something to the human soul.

We formed Kalamuna to work on that something bigger together.
