New: Meet Apex, the agent that runs your security program while you sleep

Careers

Do your best work while everyone sleeps

Help build the agentic security platform trusted by lean teams everywhere. We close security loops end to end — so our agents do the overnight grind, and the people we hire get to do the work only people can.

Why Cantina

We're closing the loop the rest of security leaves open.

Detection tools got very good at finding problems and very bad at finishing them. Cantina is the platform where discovery, triage, and a verified fix happen in one continuous thread — driven by agents, governed by people, trusted by teams who can't afford a miss. That thesis is the company we're building, and the job we're hiring for.

  • Loops, not alerts

    Every other tool hands you a finding and calls it done. We measure ourselves on closed loops — first signal to verified, on-record fix.

  • For the lean team

    Security shouldn't require an army. We build for the two-person team defending what a hundred-person company would — and give them leverage.

  • Community-driven

    Researcher playbooks ride inside every agent. The collective sharpens the platform, and the platform pays it back to the community.

While everyone sleeps

The overnight grind runs itself.

Cantina works every security loop through the night — triaging signal, drafting fixes, and putting proof on record. The people we hire wake up to decisions ready for review, not a backlog to dig out of.


You set the guardrails. Agents act within the autonomy policies you define, and every decision stays on record.

The work only people can do

Your hours go to judgment, not toil.

When agents carry the repetitive weight, our team spends its hours on judgment, design, and the hard research that actually moves security forward. We hire for range, taste, and ownership over any single line on a résumé.


Hire the person, not the checklist. Senior, trusted, and handed real problems end to end from week one.

How we work

Async, lean, and agentic — on purpose.

The way we operate is the product thesis turned inward: give small teams leverage, keep humans on the high-judgment work, and let the loop run itself. Four principles hold it together.

  • Async by default

    Decisions live in writing, not in a calendar. A great doc beats a meeting, and deep-work time is protected across every time zone.

  • Own the outcome

    No layers, no hand-offs. You take a problem end to end — the same way our platform carries a finding all the way to a fix.

  • Automate our own toil

    We dogfood relentlessly. If a task is repetitive, we hand it to an agent — then spend the reclaimed hours on work that compounds.

  • Default to transparency

    Roadmaps, metrics, and reasoning are open by default. The same trust we ask customers to place in our agents, we practice internally.

Why now

Join early. Own something that lasts.

This is the ground floor of a category. Every hire shapes the product, the culture, and their own slice of the upside — with the trust and equity to match.

Benefits

Set up to do the best work of your career.

A lean team means every person is trusted and well-supported. The perks are built to remove friction, not to paper over it.

  • Remote-first, truly async

    Work from wherever you do your best thinking. We optimize for output and written clarity, not hours logged or a shared time zone.

  • Meaningful equity

    You're joining early. Every offer includes real ownership so the upside you help build is upside you share in.

  • Top-tier health cover

    Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision for you and your dependents, wherever we can support it.

  • Home-office & hardware budget

    A generous stipend for the desk, chair, and machine that make a great remote setup — refreshed as you need it.

  • Learning & conference stipend

    Courses, books, certs, and the security conferences you want to attend. We invest in the people doing the research.

  • Flexible time off + offsites

    Take the rest you need — with a minimum, not just a maximum — and reconnect with the whole team at quarterly offsites.

Life at Cantina
