About the role

Cape is seeking a Senior/Staff backend engineer to own architecture across identity, provisioning, billing, and more. You will work with Product, Mobile and SRE to enable new features and re-architect services as we scale. You’ll collaborate across teams to deliver mission-critical systems with strong privacy and reliability. We value autonomy, pragmatism, and clear written communication. The role offers geo-adjusted compensation in NYC, meaningful equity, and a flat culture focused on privacy

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
