Company mission
To reimagine connectivity in this mobile-first world, with privacy and security at the core.
Role
Who you are
- Strong proficiency with modern JavaScript/TypeScript and Next.js (or similar React frameworks)
- Experience with Vercel deployments and CI/CD pipelines
- Hands-on experience with headless CMS platforms like Sanity
- Familiarity with web security fundamentals — query injection, API key hygiene, env var security
- Experience with marketing analytics tools like Mixpanel, Google Ads, Meta, and demonstrated ability to implement web analytics beyond out-of-the-box implementations, such as the ability to set up custom event tracking, conversion tracking, and server-side data collection in a way that prioritizes user privacy and minimizes unnecessary third-party data exposure
- Proficiency working from Figma - able to extract specs, assets, and layout details and implement them faithfully in code
- A good eye for design and UX detail - you won’t be creating designs, but you should be able to catch inconsistencies or UX issues during implementation and flag them proactively
- Ability to independently review, test, and merge PRs with minimal hand-holding
- Security-minded mindset; previous experience with vulnerability remediation is a big plus
- Cross-browser compatibility experience (we have a significant private browser user base)
- Experience with image optimization workflows (WebP conversion, responsive images)
- Familiarity with Node.js version management and dependency tooling
What the job involves
- 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. 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
- Cape is a privacy-first mobile carrier and security company looking for a contract web developer to own and maintain our marketing website and related web properties
- You'll be the primary owner of cape.co and associated sites, working closely with our engineering, marketing, and product teams. Most weeks you'll handle a mix of content updates, new page builds, and the occasional larger feature - we estimate 12-25 hours per week
- Our site gets tens of thousands of visits per day, and we’re frequently updating and standing up new campaigns
- We’re looking for someone security-minded and who can implement privacy-first marketing attribution
- Deploy and manage production releases (monitoring builds, diagnosing failures, optimizing build pipelines)
- Update and manage content through our CMS, with a solid understanding of publish/draft states and preview link behavior
- Implement copy and design updates
- Translate Figma designs into pixel-accurate, production-ready pages and components
- Maintain and update the web checkout flow
- Handle web analytics and attribution integrations
- Run A/B tests
- Handle integrations with our email marketing CRM, map provider, and more
- Proactively address performance issues — image optimization, build efficiency, and page load improvements
- Implement and maintain SEO best practices (meta tags, robots directives, etc.)
- Identify and remediate security vulnerabilities promptly — this is especially important for us as a security company
- Stay on top of dependency maintenance, Dependabot alerts, and keeping the repo clean
- Be responsive to requests from cross-functional stakeholders (marketing, product, engineering)
Our take
The massive amounts of data that telecom companies hold on their customers, and the various weak spots in mobile networks, offer many lucrative possibilities for hackers. With massive mobile network data breaches affecting the likes of US telecom giant AT&T, Cape is a mobile network responding with a way to reconcile personal privacy and national security.
Cape positions itself as a privacy-first mobile network, offering 5G and 4G speeds with more privacy. It collects minimal personally identifiable information from its customers as well as offering spam protection, hardened account security and firewall. The network itself piggybacks on existing cellular networks and uses advanced encryption and data protocols to protect its customers.
The company has attracted good investment and secured contracts with the US military because of the network's ability to contribute to national security. Cape only came out of stealth in 2024, though, and its first steps will be to provide its users with eSIMs. A partnership with UScellular has helped grow the company's market share, and it's now available nationwide. 2026 Series C funding is being used to further grow its customer base and accelerate R&D efforts.
