Why this Role is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This contract Web Developer role stands out in SaaS because it sits at the intersection of product-led growth infrastructure and production engineering. Owning a high-traffic marketing site for a subscription service means the work directly influences acquisition funnels, conversion paths, and trust signals, especially for a privacy-oriented carrier where attribution and security choices are part of the user experience.
For a SaaS career, the value is in building repeatable skills that translate across modern subscription businesses: shipping continuously via CI/CD, operating within a CMS-driven content model, and treating analytics as an engineering discipline rather than a plug-in. The remit also touches experimentation, performance, and SEO, which are common levers SaaS teams use to improve unit economics without changing the core product.
The section above is editorial commentary from The SaaS Jobs, provided to help SaaS professionals understand the role in a broader industry context.
Job Description
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.
About the Role
Cape is a privacy-first mobile carrier and security company looking for a contract web developer to own and maintain our marketing website and related web properties.
You'll be the primary owner ofcape.co and associated sites, working closely with our engineering, marketing, and product teams. Most weeks you'll handle a mix of content updates, new page builds, and the occasional larger feature - we estimate 12-25 hours per week. Our site gets tens of thousands of visits per day, and we’re frequently updating and standing up new campaigns.
We’re looking for someone security-minded and who can implement privacy-first marketing attribution.
What You'll Do
Deploy and manage production releases (monitoring builds, diagnosing failures, optimizing build pipelines)
Update and manage content through our CMS, with a solid understanding of publish/draft states and preview link behavior
Implement copy and design updates
Translate Figma designs into pixel-accurate, production-ready pages and components
Maintain and update the web checkout flow
Handle web analytics and attribution integrations
Run A/B tests
Handle integrations with our email marketing CRM, map provider, and more
Proactively address performance issues — image optimization, build efficiency, and page load improvements
Implement and maintain SEO best practices (meta tags, robots directives, etc.)
Identify and remediate security vulnerabilities promptly — this is especially important for us as a security company
Stay on top of dependency maintenance, Dependabot alerts, and keeping the repo clean
Be responsive to requests from cross-functional stakeholders (marketing, product, engineering)
What We're Looking For
Strong proficiency with modern JavaScript/TypeScript and Next.js (or similar React frameworks)
Experience with Vercel deployments and CI/CD pipelines
Hands-on experience with headless CMS platforms like Sanity
Familiarity with web security fundamentals — query injection, API key hygiene, env var security
Experience with marketing analytics tools like Mixpanel, Google Ads, Meta, and demonstrated ability to implement web analytics beyond out-of-the-box implementations, such as the ability to set up custom event tracking, conversion tracking, and server-side data collection in a way that prioritizes user privacy and minimizes unnecessary third-party data exposure
Proficiency working from Figma - able to extract specs, assets, and layout details and implement them faithfully in code.
A good eye for design and UX detail - you won’t be creating designs, but you should be able to catch inconsistencies or UX issues during implementation and flag them proactively.
Ability to independently review, test, and merge PRs with minimal hand-holding
Security-minded mindset; previous experience with vulnerability remediation is a big plus
Cross-browser compatibility experience (we have a significant private browser user base)
Experience with image optimization workflows (WebP conversion, responsive images)
Compensation:
We offer competitive compensation that is geo-adjusted based on your location. Hourly salary range for this role in New York, NY is $100 - $200 depending on experience and interview performance.
Our Culture & Values
We hire excellent people, give them outsized responsibility, and trust them to execute. Every person at Cape has a proven track record of tackling hard problems and winning.
We believe that personal privacy and national security are not at odds, and that they can be reconciled through strong technology.
We believe companies exist to build awesome things and take care of the people who build them, so we offer top-tier healthcare, 401(k) matching, and a generous vacation policy that our team actually uses to recharge.
We believe that a stronger company and a better product are built by people from all walks of life.
