Senior Brand Designer

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.

We’re looking for a Brand Designer to join the Halcyon brand team. This is a foundational role—helping to shape our in-house brand and creative language as we scale globally.

You’ll bring strong visual design expertise, a love for storytelling and pop culture, and the ability to translate strategy into engaging brand experiences. At Halcyon, you’ll evolve our visual identity and bring it to life across campaigns, product marketing, events, digital channels, and internal initiatives.

This is a unique opportunity to define how the Halcyon brand shows up in the world—and to grow with the team as we expand globally.
