About the role

Cape's network team designs how traffic actually moves through our infrastructure: routing, regional connectivity, subscriber provisioning, and the vendor-implemented changes that make it all work.

  • Experience building systems for tracking work, surfacing dependencies, and holding owners accountable to deadlines
  • Strong communication skills, able to translate between technical teams and business/vendor stakeholders
  • Comfort engaging directly with external vendors and holding them to their commitments

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...
