Job Description

Cantina is a collective of elite security researchers, and protocol protectors who believe good security starts before the exploit tweet goes viral. We’re building the modern stack for incident response, multisig security, and the human muscle memory protocols need when things hit the fan.We’re not here to smash panic buttons or rubber-stamp alerts, we’re here to triage with purpose.What you’ll actually be doing:Act as first responder to high-severity alerts across multisig protocols, if something’s on fire, you’re the one holding the extinguisher.Monitor alert feeds (PagerDuty, Slack, Signal, maybe pigeon post if the chain is really down).Triage alerts with clear head and clearer judgment. Know when to pause, when to escalate, and when to say “this isn’t that deep.”Work alongside SOC 2 analysts and researchers who’ll love you for not pinging them at 3am unless it’s actually urgent.Keep a log of what you did, when you did it, and why. (So yes, some typing required.)Participate in incident simulations to keep your pause reflexes sharp.Rotate on-call, because exploits don’t care about time zones or holidays.Who you are:You’ve spent time in Web3 trenches, maybe you ran bots, maybe you wrote contracts, maybe you once paused your own protocol before it bled out.You’re not a blockchain oracle, but you know a scam tx when you see one.Reliable AF. If you say you’re on-call, you mean it.You don’t panic under pressure, you screenshot, tx-hash, and escalate.You believe process saves lives (or at least TVL), and you’ll follow the playbook… or write a better one.You’ve touched Gnosis Safe, maybe even scripted it. Multisigs don’t scare you.You’ve got decent ops hygiene. (2FA isn’t just for Discord mods.)Bonus XP if you’ve:Read a post-mortem that made you angry and decided to help do better.Participated in a war room, ran a testnet sim, or helped freeze a contract.Familiarity with tooling like Hypernative, Hexagate, Cyvers, Forta, or Signal-based chaos.Written a runbook or alert rule that actually saved the day once.A strong meme game, because security doesn’t have to be dry.Why Cantina?We’re building the emergency hotline of Web3. Our work keeps protocols alive during their worst 15 minutes. We take that seriously, but we’re not corporate. We wear hoodies, ship fast, and respect skill over status. If you’ve been looking for a role where being calm, decisive, and sharp under fire actually matters, this is it.Apply if: You want to be the difference between $100M saved and $100M gone.Don’t apply if: You get squeamish signing a pause tx. We need conviction, not hesitation.
