Permanent role: help a Montréal AI startup secure and evolve its AI agent platform. A role that is both strategic and hands-on. Hybrid in Montréal. Abbeal is hiring an AI security expert for a fast-growing Montréal AI startup. Permanent role, hired directly by the client.

Context

Our client is a fast-growing Montréal AI startup. Its product is already adopted by its customers, and the team is now launching a new project that aims to reshape the legal sector as a whole. Above all, it's a great team: small, highly innovative, with an excellent atmosphere. Things move fast, people talk openly and you work directly with the founders. The role - Support the team as its AI agent platform evolves, with security built in from the design stage.

- Define the platform's security architecture: sensitive customer data, models, agents and the tools they use.
- Address AI-specific risks: prompt injection, data leakage through models, security of agents and their tools.
- Get hands-on: cloud security (GCP, IAM, secrets, encryption), DevSecOps in the CI/CD pipeline,



penetration testing.
- Structure data governance and compliance (Québec's Law 25, customer confidentiality).

What we're looking for - You have solid cybersecurity experience, including recent work on AI or LLM systems.

- You can design a security strategy and also implement it yourself in code and infrastructure.
- You know cloud security well, ideally on GCP.
- You enjoy small, rapid-moving teams and know how to make security practical for developers.
- You are fluent in French and English.
- Certifications (OSCP, CISSP, CCSP…) or SOC 2 experience are a plus. Why join them - A brand-new project with the ambition to transform an entire sector.
- Real influence on the product, without layers of process.
- A close-knit team with a great atmosphere. Details - Permanent role, hired directly by the client
- Fluent French and English
- Ideally already in Canada with a valid work permit
