Cape is the AI platform for partnerships, warm intros, and event marketing — built for teams whose revenue runs on relationships. Backed by Pear VC.
About the role
Cape runs private cellular networks that operate disconnected for weeks at a time. Getting subscriber state where it needs to be means delivering it to nodes we can't reach, over links we don't control, onto hardware we can't trust.
What they're looking for
- Event-driven architecture: Experience with Kafka, SQS, MQTT, RabbitMQ, Flink, or Spark in production. You understand delivery semantics, ordering, and replay well enough to reason about them under adverse conditions rather than happy-path ones
- Engineering leadership: You have led engineers as a manager, a tech lead, or both. You can point to specific people you've grown and specific technical bets you owned end to end
- Communication that moves things forward: You can both explain a consistency guarantee to a customer who wants a feature now and an operational reality to an engineer who's optimizing for the wrong constraint
- Experience that’s helpful (though not required)
- Building software that runs on customer hardware, on-prem, air-gapped, or in similar disconnected environments
- Backend systems serving mobile devices or edge compute at scale

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...
