About the role
The Company Cape was founded in early 2022 by Palantir and Anduril alums with deep expertise in privacy and national security. While running Palantir’s US national security business, our CEO became passionate about privacy and security on mobile devices. Our mission is to be a force for good in global wireless. At Cape, we are not just another cellular service provider; we are the architects of a privacy-centric movement that starts with the devices in your pocket. We are building a cellular network that helps citizens, including those responsible for our nation’s security, regain control of their own data. We believe that where we are, where we go, and whom we are with are among our most personal information and should be kept private. Privacy is not something you achieve by limiting yourself or by doing less, it is a set of features to be built so you can do more. We have raised money from Andreessen Horowitz and other top-tier VCs, and are excited to grow

The mobile application is the interface where users build trust with Cape and protect their digital lives. You will own the entire feature lifecycle—from architectural design to launch on both the Google Play Store and alternative, privacy-conscious app stores. Using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, you will tackle some of the hardest technical challenges in security and cryptography in order to secure personal information (PII), account data, and even voice and SMS traffic. In our tight-knit engineering team, you won't just build features—you will ship the product that makes our promise of privacy a reality. We offer competitive
