What drives us
Our culture isn't just words on a wall. It's how we show up every day, how we make decisions, and how we build together.
-
The pace
Our environment is fast-paced, and we hold ourselves to a high standard. We prioritize momentum and progress, which means our days are full and our goals are ambitious. If you enjoy a workday where things move quickly and your contributions are immediately visible, you'll find that energy here.
-
The vision
What unites us is a genuine passion for our mission. We are energized by the impact we have on the cybersecurity landscape. We aren't just checking boxes; we're building a safer digital future. That shared "why" is the engine that keeps us motivated and focused.
-
The mindset
Because we are a growing team, we don't always have a pre-written playbook. We look for people who see ambiguity as an opportunity, those who adapt when the business needs evolve, feel empowered to propose solutions and see them through, and enjoy the autonomy to take a project and run with it.
-
The culture
We want winning to be a team sport. When things get challenging, we lean in to help one another. We value the best idea, no matter where it comes from. We debate, we decide, and then we execute together. No egos allowed.
Are we a match?
We're not for everyone, and that's okay. Here's how to know if Cantina is the right fit for you.
You'll thrive here if…
- You enjoy having a seat at the table and a voice in how things are built.
- You get bored with static routines and prefer a variety of challenges.
- You value being part of a team that is genuinely "all in" together.
This might not be right if…
- You prefer a highly structured, 9-to-5 predictable routine.
- You are most comfortable working in a silo.
- You prefer a slow-and-steady pace, and wait for permission to take initiative.
Ways of working
Our approach to building our team is grounded in core principles: hire exceptional people, give them the environment to do their best work, and ensure we collaborate effectively as a company.
-
Remote-first roles
Many of our opportunities are fully remote within the U.S. or globally. These roles are designed to be location-independent and supported by strong documentation, asynchronous collaboration, and intentional communication.
-
On-site & hybrid roles
Some roles are intended to be based in or regularly present at our NYC office for high-touch collaboration with teammates. For these positions, expectations will be clearly communicated during the hiring process.
-
When we work
Each team determines how to best balance flexibility with meeting business needs. We trust our team to communicate proactively about availability, time zones, and constraints while maintaining necessary overlap with collaborators.
