About Cape

Cape is America’s privacy-first mobile carrier. Our mission is to be a force for good in global wireless. Cape was founded in 2022 by people who believe privacy is a fundamental right, not a luxury to be traded away. Our journey began when our founder recognized a critical vulnerability in our modern world: everyone relies on the same stagnant cellular infrastructure and legacy systems that track our every movement, monitor and profile our connections, and lose and sell our personal data.

Instead of accepting the status quo, we decided to fix it. National security professionals, journalists, parents, and everyone in between can stay connected and have privacy.

We didn’t just build a layer on top of old tech; we built America’s most private and secure mobile carrier from the ground up. By building our own network from scratch, we are able to design and build a suite of privacy and security features that no other carrier on the planet can offer.

Today, Cape provides our secure network to consumers, businesses, and government agencies alike. We closed our Series C in March 2026, and we are scaling rapidly, with the goal of giving people back control of their most personal information.

The Team

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.

The Role

We are looking for an ambitious Accounting Analyst to support our growing Finance team at Cape. In this role, you will be a critical anchor for our month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close processes, while fully owning our day-to-day accounts payable and procurement workflows.

• Execution Under Pressure: A demonstrated ability to thrive inside high-growth, dynamic environments while cleanly managing competing priorities and tight deadlines.

• Self-Starter Mentality: A clear track record of looking at status-quo processes, identifying inefficiencies, and independently driving optimization.

• Project Ownership: Meticulous organizational skills with a history of successfully owning large projects end-to-end alongside recurring daily workflows.
