Role

- Portfolio showcasing end‑to‑end product design—research insights → wireframes → shipped UI
- Experience and comfort in both lofi and hifi tools such as Balsamiq, prototyping, and design‑system management
- Confident and comfortable designing for complex workflows: RBAC, dashboards, policy engines, APIs
- Strong grasp of and modern front‑end patterns
- Excellent communication skills—you can defend design decisions with data and user insights while presenting design work with teammates, to partners and stakeholders for review and feedback
- Thrives in a high‑growth startup: self‑directed, decisive, and bias‑to‑action
- Experience with security or observability dashboards (alerts, timelines, MITRE ATT&CK, etc.)
- Familiarity with Material UI, React, etc so working directly with engineers and developers for implementation of designs is seamless
- Knowledge of access‑controlled SaaS (multi‑tenant, enterprise settings)
What the job involves
- 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
- User-centered Design: Plan and conduct user research, persona development, and usability testing to uncover pain points and validate design decisions
- Product & Feature Design: Quickly iterate on user flows, wireframes, workflows, prototypes, and design specifications with Design, Product, and Engineering teams, as well as business stakeholders and executive leadership
- Design System Ownership: Establish and maintain Halcyon’s design system and design library (components, patterns, tokens) in Figma; ensure consistency across web app, docs, and in‑product messaging
- Data Visualization: Translate complex telemetry—alerts, events, etc—into clear charts, tables, and visual cues that accelerate user insight and action
- Cross-functional Collaboration: Work shoulder‑to‑shoulder with PMs, engineers, security analysts, brand and marketing to ship intentional and accessible designs on time
- Continuous Improvement: analyze user behaviour, and iterate quickly in our fast‑paced, startup environment incorporating customer feedback, technical constraints, and usability findings into designs
Our take
As cyber attacks become increasingly complex, especially in the mode of ransomware, companies such as Halcyon are becoming an ever more important weapon in the fight for cybersecurity. Though only formed in 2021, its founders have extensive experience as researchers at cybersecurity unicorn Cylance, amongst other notable companies in the sector.
Halcyon’s product stands out from similar - and abundant - offerings thanks to its melding of multi-proprietary advanced prevention engines and AI models designed specifically to seek out and destroy ransomware threats. It's the flexibility and reactivity of these two multi-tiered facets that have made Halcyon a trusted partner for companies on the Forbes Global 2000 list.
With significant funding behind it, Halcyon will ramp up the development of its platform's features and continue expanding its customer base.
