Abbeal

Abbeal is a tri-geo senior engineering pod founded in Paris in 2015 by Sébastien Lonjon and Vianney Blanquart. The company operates three synchronized hubs in Paris, Montréal (opened 2023), and Tokyo (opened 2021), enabling a 24/7 Adaptive Follow-the-Sun delivery model where engineering teams hand over context daily across CET, EST and JST. No queue, no debt, no waiting for a single timezone to wake up.

Abbeal specializes in four engineering domains: Software (Web and Mobile with React, Vue, Angular, Next.js, Node, Java, Python); Artificial Intelligence and Data (PyTorch, LangChain, Pinecone, RAG that holds under load, agentic workflows); Cloud and Reliability (AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform, observability); and Embedded and Robotics (C++ modern, Rust, ROS 2, Linux embedded, MQTT, CAN bus).

Unlike the classic French IT services firm model, Abbeal refuses time-based billing (Time and Material) by default and commits to measurable deliverables and SLOs. Three engagement models depending on need: Staff Augmentation (embedded senior engineers), Talent Acquisition (top 1% tech hiring with international relocation), and Digital Solutions (end-to-end product delivery with output-based engagement).

Mobbeal, our international mobility program, has relocated 50+ engineers between Paris, Montréal and Tokyo since 2022. Vianney Blanquart, co-founder and COO, has served as Montréal hub General Manager since November 2024.

Clients include BNP Paribas, AXA, Kering, Société Générale, PayPay, Money Forward, Carrefour, Hydro-Québec, Le Monde, EDF, PwC, Decathlon, Cartier, Ticketmaster.
