Technical Sourcer (Contract)

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

Cape is growing fast, and building the right team is critical to our success. As the first Technical Sourcer at Cape, you’ll be on the front lines of that effort — identifying, engaging, and delivering strong technical talent into our pipeline. We’re looking for a Technical Sourcer who knows how to find high-signal talent, cut through noise, and write the kind of outreach that actually gets a response. You’ll work closely with recruiters and hiring managers to shape our sourcing strategy and own pipeline generation for high-priority technical roles.

Here are some ways you’ll make an impact

• Own sourcing strategy for core technical roles (Software Engineering, Security, etc.)
• Deliver high-signal candidate pipelines and partner with recruiters to drive hires
• Calibrate quickly — understand what great looks like and launch outreach within a week of kickoff
• Use platforms like LinkedIn, GitHub, Ashby, and Gem to find and engage candidates
• Write personalized outreach that reflects Cape’s tone and gets real responses
• Track response rates, funnel metrics, and conversion data — and iterate fast
• Proactively build diverse pipelines and help define our long-term talent mapping strategy
• Keep data clean and help build a sourcing engine that scale

Are you the candidate we are looking for?

You have:

• You understand technical roles and can speak credibly with engineers
• You’re skilled at leveraging sourcing platforms, signals, and market insights to identify the right talent
• You know how to craft outreach that stands out and feels authentic. You aren’t afraid to A/B test
