From the original posting

The Role:

Cape's network team designs how traffic actually moves through our infrastructure: routing, regional connectivity, subscriber provisioning, and the vendor-implemented changes that make it all work. Right now, that work is coordinated ad hoc, and the team needs someone to take real ownership of task tracking, timeline accountability, and communication across engineering, business development, and vendors. This role is the first of its kind in the network team. We're looking for a Program Manager who is technical enough to challenge engineering estimates, sanity-check what BD is promising customers, and set delivery timelines the team can actually hit.

You'll work in close partnership with the network operations lead to roadmap upcoming work, surface dependencies and conflicts before they become fire drills, and keep vendors accountable to what they've committed to. Telco or network experience is a plus, but we care more about startup instincts and a bias toward realistic, forward-moving plans than about a background in telecom specifically.

What You'll Work On:

Own Jira hygiene and task tracking for the network team, bringing structure to work that is currently coordinated informally
Build a reliable system for tracking work, exposing dependencies, and catching timeline slips early, across network engineering, BD, and vendors
Partner closely with the network team's technical lead to roadmap infrastructure work like routing, regional connectivity, subscriber provisioning, and cloud/vendor integrations
Pressure-test proposed timelines and BD requests for technical feasibility before commitments are made externally
Host vendor meetings and hold vendors accountable to their delivery commitments
Deconflict priorities and dependencies across the network team and adjacent teams, including consumer-facing projects
Translate technical network work for non-technical stakeholders, and translate business requests back into realistic technical asks for engineering
Help define the org model for how program management, technical ownership, and execution responsibilities fit together on the network team as it scales

Experience:

Technical program management experience in a fast-moving engineering environment, ideally at a startup
A track record of bringing structure to ambiguous, cross-team work without slowing it down
Comfort learning a new technical domain quickly and deeply enough to challenge engineering judgment and assess feasibility, not just track progress
Experience building systems for tracking work, surfacing dependencies, and holding owners accountable to deadlines
Strong communication skills; able to translate between technical teams and business/vendor stakeholders
Comfort engaging directly with external vendors and holding them to their commitments
(Bonus) Experience with network or telco infrastructure: traffic routing, cloud connectivity, configuration, or subscriber provisioning
(Bonus) Experience at a company building or operating physical/network infrastructure rather than pure software
(Bonus) Prior experience supporting consumer products alongside more technical/infrastructure work

Compensation:

We offer competitive compensation that is geo-adjusted based on your location, along with meaningful equity so you share in the value you help create. Salary range for this role based in New York, NY is $190,00 - $210,000 depending on level, experience, and interview performance.

Our benefits include:

401(k) match
Stipends for
Family-forming needs
Gender-affirming care
Unlimited PTO
