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. Our structure is flat, and collaboration matters more than hierarchy. 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 Opportunity

Solutions Architects at Cape lead engagements with our federal customers. They deeply understand the privacy and security challenges that Cape is solving and are passionate about bringing our technology to federal customers. Solutions Architects collaborate closely with business development, engineering, product, sales, and marketing to ensure we're building the right thing and delivering it the right way to customers doing mission critical work. Solutions Architects must be high ownership, creative, solutions-oriented individuals who aren't afraid to dive deep into complex problems.

Purpose

• Own the engagement with a new/early customer. You'll be boots on the ground working with our customers to understand their challenges and deploy our technology. As an example, you will be responsible for integrating and overseeing the deployment of resilient, high-speed communication networks for the tactical edge.
• These engagements will mostly take place across the Indo-Pacific and Eastern Europe as Cape continues to work with US federal customers across these critical Areas of Responsibility (AORs).

What You'll Work On

• Cultivate relationships at all levels of seniority. Understand the ground-level problems we're solving. Burn through frozen-middle bureaucracies to clear a path to success. Create and deliver executive presentations to ensure buy-in from above.
• Work fluidly with product and engineering to ensure product direction aligns with our customers' on-the-ground reality. You must be able to influence cross-team members to direct the appropriate resources to customer objectives.
• In this role, you will need to demonstrate a high degree of independence and teamwork. This means you'll be empowered to make decisions and lead initiatives, but you will also know when to leverage the expertise of our engineering and product teams to ensure successful execution.
• We want someone who understands the difference between a good idea and a great one worth pursuing. The right person will have the judgment to know when to bet big on a concept and when to walk away, conserving resources and effort for what truly matters. You are the voice of the company at the customer, and the voice of the customer at the company.
• Proven ability to translate user requirements into functional technical roadmaps and communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences

• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills - especially in a remote work environment
• Adaptive and introspective; willing to learn, guide, lead and follow
• Willingness to travel up to 50%, mostly across the Indo-Pacific
