Frontend Engineer - Remote Eligible

Frontend Engineer

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.

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.

• Strong understanding of modern web technologies, state management, and build tools (Vite, Webpack).
• Experience building applications in a cloud-native environment, preferably with modern hosting platforms.
• Working knowledge of modern CSS frameworks.
• Comfortable working in a remote-first, asynchronous team environment.

Bonus Skills and Qualifications

• Experience with Material-UI (MUI), Emotion, or similar component libraries.

• Experience with React Hook Form for form handling and validation.
• Prior work in security products, data visualization, or high-availability systems.
• Experience with Playwright for E2E testing.
