Technical Program Manager

Who you are

• Prior experience as a TPM or PM embedded with a security team that builds tooling and systems in-house
• Solid grounding in computer engineering fundamentals; comfortable going deep on technical detail with engineers across detection & response, corporate security, and product security
• Track record of defining and communicating technical programs to non-technical stakeholders
• Strong prioritization and backlog management skills, with the judgment to know what matters most
• Comfort operating as a trusted technical liaison between specialized teams and a large, distributed engineering organization

What the job involves

• 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
• Cape is hiring our first Security Technical Program Manager, a rare chance to build this function from scratch inside a company where security is the product
• You'll directly integrate with Security Engineering across their three pillars: detection and response , corporate security , and product security
• Rather than specializing in one lane, you'll use your visibility of the whole board to set priorities, define success, and increase velocity
• You'll also be the connective tissue between security engineering and Cape's broader ~70-person engineering organization, managing speed-security tradeoffs that are becoming more complex as AI tools proliferate
• The metrics you create will steer company-wide policy and prioritization, and your judgment will drive the company SBOM
• Define and communicate the security program's strategy, priorities, and progress to the broader business
• Shape how Cape brings new security tools into the fold, from vendor procurement through implementation, powering the stack that keeps our security org running
• Keep the security engineering team on track — manage priorities, maintain the backlog, and drive execution across detection & response, corporate security, and product security
• Serve as the technical go-between for security engineers and Cape's ~70 product engineers, translating security requirements and risk into terms product teams can act on, and vice versa
• Partner with security engineering leadership to plan roadmaps, run program rituals, and unblock cross-team dependencies
• Build trust and clear communication channels with engineering stakeholders across the company
