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.
The commercial cellular network represents trillions of dollars in private investment worldwide. It is performant, highly available, near ubiquitous, and the spec is mature and well understood. It’s the perfect transport layer for government use cases, if only they could trust the network. But they cannot: that infrastructure is easily disrupted and surveilled, and existing solutions are typically clunky, proprietary, and fail at the first sign of a contested RF environment.
Cape started at first principles to build a secure network architecture that operates through assumed compromised physical infrastructure. Now we need to solve operational capabilities at scale. How do we provide security-first, resilient communications for operators at the tactical edge? How do we ensure connectivity without compromise when the backhaul is being actively jammed, intercepted, or physically severed?
We are moving from validated technology to mission-critical infrastructure that works in contested environments when failure is not an option. Leading this team of engineers is a high stakes, critical role and will be deeply rewarding for the right person.
Cape’s platform gives customers end-to-end control of their digital identity, even as they connect to untrusted networks, optimizing for resiliency, privacy, and security at every turn. As the Head of Federal Engineering, you will gain rare insight into the world’s most challenging environments. You will own the technical execution of the federal business, partnering with Business Development and Product to bridge the gap between our core technology and the specific, demanding requirements of our government partners.
You will cultivate a high-performing technical team, providing the mentorship needed to deliver outcomes in highly regulated spaces. Your charge is to grow the business and empower your engineers to work autonomously in remote locations, making great technical decisions to build the most overlooked yet critical components of modern Command and Control (C2)–the transport layer.
