Product Designer

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 team.

The Team

We are relentless builders, constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible and bringing to life ideas that have never before existed. Innovation is at the core of everything we do. At Cape, we trust our team to deliver greatness and empower them to make a profound impact. As a member of our team, you will collaborate seamlessly with our diverse group of talented engineers and other team members, enjoying dynamic interactions with colleagues from across the organization.
The Role

Cape is looking for a Product Designer to expand our current 2-person design team as we grow our product offering to meet the needs across our consumer, enterprise and government customer base.

• Lead rapid, iterative design sprints, incorporating feedback from stakeholders, driving towards the most impactful product changes as quickly as possible.
• Translate complex privacy and security features into visually compelling product experiences.

• Build, maintain, and extend design system components to support growth and cross-product cohesion.
• Partner with marketing, sales and BD to craft compelling visual stories that carry through the entire customer journey - from our ads, socials, pitch decks, website, through to our products.
• Participate in design critiques, product QA, and strive to continually raise the bar in terms of product and design quality.
• Create quick prototypes and conduct iterative user testing to validate ideas and uncover new opportunities.
• Collaborate closely with engineering across iteration, handoff, and QA to ensure designs are implemented with quality and intent.
