About us

We’ve built a unique company culture that combines sarcasm and shenanigans with high productivity and innovation. Our headquarters sits on the greenbelt adjacent to the beautiful Boise River, and yes, our team would love to go on a long walk with you.

We’re looking for self-motivated individuals who can work in a scrappy, fast-paced environment, where egos and org charts are not allowed. If you’ve got brains plus drive and you can admit three work tasks you’re genuinely bad at, you have the self-awareness we’re looking for. At KCL, we never expect perfection, only humility and transparency.

If you like autonomy and a challenge, we think you’ll love it here.

As a KCL employee, you’ll have the opportunity to get involved with the KCL Foundation. Our team plays an integral role in bridging the gap for new refugee families arriving in our Boise community. We help nearly a hundred families every year to fill homes with new bedding and kitchenware, to provide new winter coats and shoes for local schools with high refugee populations, and to stock bathroom cabinets with a crapload of toothpaste and toiletries. And we do it all with coupons, duh.
