# Staffing — Canaria

> Compliance operations, handled. Embed our people or outsource the work. Either way, it gets done by operators who've done it before — at crypto companies, not banks.

Hiring compliance talent for crypto is hard because most recruiters don't understand the domain. We do. We've built the programs these people will run, so we know who's good and who's just got the right resume. Canaria places compliance operators into crypto teams in two models: embedded (our people, your team) or outsourced (phone a friend).

## Embedded Staffing — Our people, your team

We source and place compliance operators directly into your team. They sit in your Slack, attend your standups, and report to your compliance lead. We handle the logistics — sourcing, vetting, contracts, payroll. You oversee the results.

**How it works:** You tell us the role and the workload. We place someone from our network who's done the work before. They integrate with your team and operate as if they're in-house. We stay available if you need to scale up, swap out, or adjust scope.

**Projects we staff for:**

- **KYC / Due Diligence** — Customer onboarding reviews, enhanced due diligence, ongoing KYC refresh, and counterparty assessments
- **Transaction Monitoring & Investigations** — Alert review, case investigations, SAR drafting and filing, and escalation workflows
- **Wallet Screening Reviews** — On-chain screening analysis, exposure assessment, and disposition decisions on flagged wallets
- **Alert Triage** — First-line review of sanctions hits, transaction monitoring alerts, and screening flags. Clear the noise, escalate what matters
- **DeFi Protocol Reviews** — Risk assessments on protocols, bridges, and DeFi integrations. Evaluate smart contract risk, governance structure, and counterparty exposure

## Outsourced Staffing — A compliance team on call

Not every company needs a full-time hire. Sometimes you need someone to clear a KYC backlog, handle a spike in alerts, or review a batch of protocols before a launch. We provide compliance operators on your terms — part time, full time, or on demand.

**How it works:** You send us the work. We assign the right people from our team and deliver completed reviews, filed reports, and documented decisions. You get the output without managing the headcount.

**Engagement options:** Part time · Full time · On demand

**Projects we handle:**

- **KYC / Due Diligence** — We run your onboarding queue end-to-end — reviews, risk ratings, EDD, and documentation. You approve, we execute
- **Transaction Monitoring & Investigations** — We review alerts, investigate cases, draft SARs, and manage your filing calendar. Full audit trail delivered back to you
- **Wallet Screening Reviews** — Batch or real-time screening reviews with documented risk rationale. We deliver the analysis, you make the call
- **Alert Triage** — We handle first-line triage on your screening and monitoring alerts. False positives get closed with documentation, real hits get escalated with context
- **DeFi Protocol Reviews** — Send us a list of protocols and we deliver structured risk assessments covering smart contract risk, governance, TVL, and sanctions exposure
