The posting

ABOUT CAPE

Cape is America’s privacy-first mobile carrier. Our mission is to be a force for good in global wireless. Cape was founded in 2022 by people who believe privacy is a fundamental right, not a luxury to be traded away. Our journey began when our founder recognized a critical vulnerability in our modern world: everyone relies on the same stagnant cellular infrastructure and legacy systems that track our every movement, monitor and profile our connections, and lose and sell our personal data.

Instead of accepting the status quo, we decided to fix it. National security professionals, journalists, parents, and everyone in between can stay connected and have privacy.

We didn’t just build a layer on top of old tech; we built America’s most private and secure mobile carrier from the ground up. By building our own network from scratch, we are able to design and build a suite of privacy and security features that no other carrier on the planet can offer.

Today, Cape provides our secure network to consumers, businesses, and government agencies alike. We closed our Series C in March 2026, and we are scaling rapidly, with the goal of giving people back control of their most personal information.

THE TEAM

At Cape, we are the architects of a privacy-centric movement that is just getting started. We are relentless builders, constantly innovating at the edge of what's possible in telecommunications. We operate on a foundation of high trust and high expectations. Our structure is flat, and collaboration matters more than hierarchy. As a member of our team, you will collaborate with world-class engineers, architects, and visionaries, and work across organizational lines to solve "impossible" problems and deliver mission-critical results for our users every single day.

THE ROLE

To join our team, you should be excited to:

- Dive into a well-funded but early-stage startup. We’re in a scrappy phase, be comfortable getting a little uncomfortable.

- Reclaim some of the personal privacy we have all sacrificed as smartphone adoption has grown.

- Flex your technical skills on hard, important problems with serious implications for consumer privacy and national security.

- Push the envelope - we are using new technology in novel ways.

- Work on greenfield problems. Starting new projects from the ground up. Shaping the stack, practices, and getting the opportunity to try new tools and technologies.

- Work in person! There are no facetime requirements or set hours here, and we all take work from home days. But our default work location is our DC or NY office, and we enjoy the informal culture and serendipity that in-person work enables.

We’re offering competitive salary, benefits, and equity with early-stage upside.

WHAT YOU'LL WORK ON

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
