What we do:
Halcyon is the industry’s first dedicated, adaptive security platform that combines multiple proprietary advanced prevention engines along with AI models focused specifically on stopping ransomware.
Who we are:
Halcyon was formed in 2021 by a team of cyber industry veterans after battling the scourge of ransomware (and advanced threats) for years at some of the largest global security vendors. Comprised of leaders from Cylance (now Blackberry), Accuvant (now Optiv), Fireye and ISS X-Force (now IBM), Halcyon is focused on building products and solutions for mid-market and enterprise customers.
As a remote-native, completely distributed global team, we recognize great talent can exist anywhere. We invite you to apply to a job you’re interested in and we'll work a plan to meet your needs.
Halcyon’s goal is to deliver an anti-ransomware solution that breaks new ground as to what a security product can deliver. To elevate our customer experience, we’re hiring our first dedicated Product UX Designer to own the end‑to‑end design of the Halcyon platform including spanning the console UI, policy‑management workflows, alert triage views, and our upcoming integrations with third party security products.
You’ll partner with Product, Engineering, Threat Response, Quant and Customer Success teams to transform complex security data into clear, intuitive, and visually compelling experiences that help customers stop ransomware in its tracks.
