About the role

Cape has never had a Technical Program Manager, which means our engineering teams are moving fast on some of the hardest problems in telecom without the connective tissue to move even faster. Tickets go untracked, standups happen inconsistently, priorities blur across teams, and brilliant engineers spend more time untangling processes than solving problems. You'll be the first person to fix that.

What they're looking for

  • A background as a software engineer (or comparable hands-on technical experience) before moving into a program/product role
  • The ability to go deep on how a product actually works, hold your own in daily conversations with engineers, and help unblock them

  • A track record of understanding technically complex systems, even if you've never written production code yourself (e.g., you can describe how an HTTP request works)
  • Experience triaging and prioritizing a high volume of inbound tickets, bugs, and feature requests

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...
