About the role

Champion the security, performance, and stability of our applications by implementing and overseeing robust testing, monitoring, and release processes to guarantee a seamless, trustworthy user experience.
Actively improve user workflows by collaborating with cross-functional teams, ensuring seamless experiences across product boundaries and a cohesive user journey.

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.
Take ownership of the mobile product lifecycle - from conceptualization, through design and development, all the way to launch.
Maintain high coding standards by developing guidelines, actively participating in code reviews, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement and knowledge sharing.
As an Android Engineer at Cape, your mission is to build the definitive application for private mobile communication.
The mobile application is the interface where users build trust with Cape and protect their digital lives.

Proven ability to learn continuously, work independently, and make decisions with minimal supervision.
Ability to learn new technologies and concepts, even without prior in-depth experience.
Proficiency in Kotlin and a strong foundational understanding of the Android ecosystem (architecture, app lifecycle, concurrency, etc.).
Experience with Android concurrency and storage frameworks such as Coroutines, Room, and DataStore.
Familiarity with privacy-focused Android OSs.
Knowledge of cryptography, trusted execution environments and StrongBox, or cellular technologies (eSIM, 4G, 5G).

Professional experience with Jetpack Compose is preferred, but a deep appreciation for building modern user interfaces is essential.

We offer competitive compensation that is geo-adjusted based on your location, along with meaningful equity so you share in the value you help create.

We believe companies exist to build awesome things and take care of the people who build them, so we offer top-tier healthcare, 401(k) matching, and a generous vacation policy that our team actually uses to recharge.
We hire without regard to race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, marital status, disability, or Veteran status.

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 platform gives customers end-to-end control of their digital identity, optimizing for resiliency, privacy, and security at every turn.
We're transforming how customers sign up for, use, and think about their mobile phones-and the privacy implications associated with them.
Customers are protected at every level of the communications stack-from the mobile device, through infrastructure, and to the core of the network itself.
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.
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.
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.
