Cape was founded in early 2022 by Palantir and Anduril alums with deep expertise in privacy and national security. While running Palantir’s US national security business, our CEO became passionate about privacy and security on mobile devices. Our mission is to be a force for good in global wireless.
At Cape, we are not just another cellular service provider; we are the architects of a privacy-centric movement that starts with the devices in your pocket. We are building a cellular network that helps citizens, including those responsible for our nation’s security, regain control of their own data.
We believe that where we are, where we go, and whom we are with are among our most personal information and should be kept private. Privacy is not something you achieve by limiting yourself or by doing less, it is a set of features to be built so you can do more. We have raised money from Andreessen Horowitz and other top-tier VCs, and are excited to grow the team.
We are relentless builders, constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible and bringing to life ideas that have never before existed. Innovation is at the core of everything we do. At Cape, we trust our team to deliver greatness and empower them to make a profound impact. As a member of our team, you will collaborate seamlessly with our diverse group of talented engineers and other team members, enjoying dynamic interactions with colleagues from across the organization.
We're looking for passionate new college graduates to join our engineering team. You'll be a key part of our mission to bring privacy and security to the most essential technologies of our generation: the cell phone and the networks that connect them.
You'll get hands-on experience by shipping real features into production from day one. You'll work on backend platforms, full-stack web and mobile apps, or with our forward-deployed engineering teams. Our small, dynamic Series B startup is all about action and swift iteration. We believe in shipping fast, refining continually, and leveraging customer feedback to grow both our products and our people.
Learn from the best: Drawing from successful startups like Palantir and Anduril, and tech giants like Google and AWS, our team has the unique expertise to architect scalable and resilient cloud-native solutions, from building and virtualizing 5G cell networks to deploying robust IoT systems.
Make a real impact: Your work will help safeguard vulnerable individuals, like investigative journalists, and protect public systems and democratic values from malicious actors.
Build innovative solutions: You'll apply a privacy and security-first mindset while working on projects like:
Developing advanced mobile technology to protect against ad-tech tracking and modern security threats, including SIM swaps and malicious cell towers.
Creating full-stack applications to manage mobile devices for government organizations and enterprises.
Building exploit-resilient IoT networks for critical infrastructure.
Enabling secure mobile roaming for organizations that require greater privacy and security for their employees or devices, allowing for individuals to continue to operate mobile and IOT devices in geographic regions with compromised telecommunications infrastructure.
Scoping and creating mobile features with direct customer feedback.
Depending on your strengths and interests, you'll be involved in one or more of the following areas:
Backend Services: Building services in Go.
Full-Stack Development: Working with React and TypeScript.
Mobile Apps: Creating iOS/Android apps with Kotlin (Jetpack Compose) or Swift (SwiftUI) that interact with low-level OS APIs as well as the broader Telecommunications Identity Management Ecosystem.
Code Quality: Participating in code reviews to both give and receive feedback.
Customer-Centric Development: Talking directly to customers to understand problems and develop innovative solutions.
Collaboration: Working with other teams to build and ship high-impact features.
You're a great fit if you're a new graduate with:
Strong Technical Skills: A solid foundation in data structures and algorithms in at least one programming language. You're comfortable translating product requirements into system designs and working solutions.
Effective Communication: You value input from others and have strong opinions, weakly held. This means you back up your decisions with data but are open to incorporating new information.
Problem-Solving Mindset: You're not afraid of working with customers in mission-critical situations to develop solutions to unsolved problems in this space.
Adaptability: You're flexible and thrive in a fast-paced environment with a strong bias for action. You also embrace our core value of oversharing to move fast and build consensus.
You might be an even stronger candidate if you have:
Previous software engineering experience (internships, research projects, etc.).
Launched apps on the App Store or Google Play Store.
Experience with microservices deployed on the cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.).
Experience or passion for privacy-focused work or open-source contributions.
Experience with building products that interact with real-world physical systems.
We are builders, and we choose to spend our time building things that matter. Many of our people have backgrounds in Defense Tech as well as the defense and intelligence community. We build to win.
We hire excellent people, give them outsized responsibility, and trust them to execute at a high level. Everyone here has a track record of solving hard problems throughout their careers.
We believe that personal privacy and national security interests are not inherently at odds, and can be reconciled via strong technology.
We believe that companies exist to build awesome things and take care of their people. Our benefits reflect that– top-tier health care, 401(k) matching, and a generous vacation policy (that we actually use).
We hire candidates of any race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, marital or family status, disability, Veteran status, and any other status. Achieving diversity across these categories will serve to make our company stronger and our product better.
