There probably is room to negotiate, but you need to make it clear before proceeding any further in the interview process that the stated cap is below what you would be willing to accept. You need to be ready to walk away. If the salary range they’ve established is below market rates, they might reconsider their cap and choose to continue talks with you. You should also do your own due diligence to make sure that the salary you’re expecting is aligned with the going rates for similar positions in similar workplaces/industries.
Keep interviewing but don’t bring it up until you get an offer. Then inquire about ways to make up for the shortfall; stock options, extra vacation time, profit sharing/bonuses, company car, award show entry budget, trips to Cannes/SXSW/etc.
If you’re really interested and would consider taking it at the lower salary, yes. If you absolutely would not, tell them that now. They might be willing to work with you, or keep you in mind for a more senior job later. If you go through the interview process only to tell them the salary doesn’t work for you, it could backfire and piss them off.
