After graduating from law school at University of Michigan, he worked for R. Guy Cole Jr., and on privacy and administrative law in the D.C. office of Covington and Burling, LLC.

At Stanford Law School, he directed privacy and robotics research at the Stanford Center for Internet and Society, and founded the Legal Aspects of Autonomous Driving initiative.

He eventually advanced to faculty member at the University of Washington, where he holds multiple positions. He holds the Lane Powell and D. Wayne Gittinger Endowed Professorship at the School of Law; a professor at the Information School; and an adjunct professor at the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering. His work in robotics and cyberlaw was the focus of an article in Science magazine that highlighted the research behind his paper "Robots and the Lessons of Cyberlaw" as well as a report he created for the Brookings Institution.

He is a founding co-director of the Tech Policy Lab, a unique, interdisciplinary collaboration at the University of Washington; and is co-founder of the Center for an Informed Public, a collaborative whose mission is to resist strategic misinformation, promote an informed society, and strengthen democratic discourse.

Calo chaired a University-wide task force on technology and society from fall 2021 to June 2022, and served as chair for the We Robot Conference 2022 when it was hosted by the University of Washington.
