Workleap is a Montreal-based tech company, founded in 2006. Workleap Agent, our newest solution built to make every manager more effective, and ShareGate, the world's leading solution for Microsoft 365 migration and governance. More than 15,000 companies worldwide trust us to do exactly that. If you're the kind of person who gets excited by a hard problem and wants to help shape what comes next, there's a place for you here.
Our security tooling generates more noise than a small team can work, and too many findings are ambiguous or wrong. Build the pipeline that runs security operations end to end: integrations that pull alerts and findings out of every source tool, an agentic system that triages, enriches, correlates and drafts the investigation, and a connection into Jira that routes each result to the owning team with evidence and a fix path, so no finding is ever copied by hand.
Define the trust model for those agents, deciding what they close alone, what they recommend and what always goes to a human, backed by evals and secured against prompt injection and permission abuse.
Drive false positives and misrated findings out of our security tooling, so every finding that reaches a person is real and correctly prioritized.
Lead security incident response from triage to postmortem, with agents gathering the evidence, and hold our managed detection partner to a measurable standard.
Make security a partner developers want to work with, delivering findings in their workflow with clear evidence and a fix path.
Over the next 12 months, LeapSec is delivering two strategic bets: putting security inside product squads, with agents carrying vulnerability and detection work, and automating SOC 2 evidence so nobody gathers it by hand. You will own the detection and response side of that work: cleaning up the tooling, building the agents, and proving how much they can be trusted to do alone.
LeapSec covers Security Operations and Compliance across Workleap and ShareGate. You will report to the Director of Infrastructure and Security and work daily with our Staff Application Security Specialist and security tooling team, and as needed with Infrastructure, ITX and product engineering. Our environment is Azure first, with a cloud native SIEM and XDR stack, Zscaler, Cloudflare and a managed detection partner today. 7+ years in security operations, incident response or detection engineering, with recent hands on time in a cloud SaaS setting; Years of working directly with developers, getting fixes shipped without authority and keeping the relationship intact when the answer is no; Built and shipped agent systems for security work that others depend on, such as MCP servers, Claude skills, subagents or custom tools, with evals that decide when the output is trusted; Detection engineering asa discipline: detections as code, a SIEM query language you write fluently, and false positive rates you actually measure; Bonus: experience directing a managed detection partner, threat hunting or forensics, and working proficiency in French.

At Workleap, we build software that sits at the center of how people experience work, every day, at every level.
Priorities shift, decisions get made with the information we have, and we iterate. If you thrive on intensity and ambiguity doesn't slow you down, you'll feel right at home.
We use it to go faster and decide smarter, not to replace judgment.
Here's how it works: a first call with a recruiter, then a virtual interview with the hiring manager.
