100% coverage of medical, dental, and vision premiums for you and your dependents
12 weeks paid parental leave (for all parents, no waiting period)

Company info

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.
Cape's VP of Engineering is our head builder.
Our product is complex and growing, as are our ambitions in the wake of a recent, successful Series C fundraise.
And the engineering team you will lead is unlike any ever assembled in the telecommunications space in terms of talent, creativity, and work ethic.
They are up to the challenge, and with your leadership will truly change the game in privacy, security, and resilience for cellular connection.
The VP Eng is responsible for growing, steering, and motivating an engineering organization capable of scaling with the company - developing leaders, establishing clear goals and operating rhythms, and creating an environment where engineers can do the best work of their careers.
And the right candidate probably can't resist putting their hands on the keyboard for part of their day as well.
The VP Eng serves as the company's technical face in senior level meetings with government customers and the C-Suite of security-forward enterprises.
Along with the rest of the leadership team, the VP Eng works with the CEO to develop and execute the company's strategy.
In this context, the VP must be a relentless builder, a fierce advocate for the engineering team, and a collaborative steward of the company's direction.
