About Canals

Canals is a fully remote, profitable startup transforming the industrial supply chain ($10T industry) with AI. Our platform seamlessly integrates with the systems distributors already use, automating tedious tasks and reducing failure points in moving physical goods across the globe.

We’re a 70-person team (~45 in engineering), located across North and South America.

The Opportunity

You’ll have the autonomy to shape our security strategy while staying deeply hands-on with the systems that matter most.

What You’ll Do

• Own application security tooling for code, dependencies, and secrets.
• Lead threat modeling, risk assessments, and architecture reviews for new and existing services.
• Validate and triage findings from bug bounty and pentests.Experience integrating security into CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code workflows.
