About Kaleidos and Penpot
We defend and believe in Open Source and proof of this is that our main project,
Penpot
, reflects that. We're convinced that technology isn't neutral. That's why we like to shake things up and go against the
status quo
.
Penpot is the free open-source design tool that allows true collaboration between designers and developers. Penpot is one of the most promising global design tools for interaction design used by hundreds of thousands UX/UI designers, Product designers and web developers across the world.
Kaleidos is the company boosting Penpot. If you're interested in getting a deeper sense of our culture and values, have a look at our

What do we need
Our team is a mix of tech experts and design professionals, with great agile management skills . We also have dedicated teams in Marketing, Communications, People & Growth—all working together to innovate and improve Penpot
Tech applicants note: We mainly work with functional programming and open-source tools/languages. Full-stack flexibility (comfort with both frontend & backend) is a big plus.
At Kaleidos, we keep things flat and self-organized – no traditional management hierarchy here. If you thrive in teams where everyone contributes equally, you'll feel right at home.
We walk the talk on open-source philosophy: All roles (yes, even design and corporate) require using Linux distributions as our primary OS whenever possible.
We operate in both Spanish and English, so comfort communicating in both languages is essential for all positions.
We're proud to be a feminist, diverse, and inclusive company – if these values resonate with you, we'd love to hear from you
Our core team works on Spain time (CET/CEST),



so we look for candidates in compatible time zones (±1 hour difference).
We don't open many roles throughout the year, so if you don't see a posted position, it's unlikely we can create one ad hoc. That said, we do our best to respond to every application and would love to stay in touch for the future :)
