Job Description

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.

The Role
The Vice President, Field Engineering is a front-line leader responsible for managing Halcyon’s Solutions Architects supporting Strategic and Enterprise accounts across the US and Canada. This role combines deep technical leadership in endpoint security and ransomware resilience with proven experience building high-performance teams and scaling technical sales processes.

This leader will directly manage a team of Solutions Architects and will spend ~30% of their time actively supporting key sales opportunities and escalations, while dedicating the majority of their focus to coaching, process improvement, training, and building repeatable excellence in field engineering.

Responsibilities

  • Lead, develop, and retain a high-performing team of Solutions Architects supporting Strategic and Enterprise sales across North America.
  • Ensure technical field support aligns with Halcyon’s growth goals, capacity planning, and customer expectations.
  • Own and drive key Field Engineering metrics including capacity management, POC success rates, and sales engineering collateral maturity.
  • Engage directly on critical technical escalations and high-value opportunities alongside sales teams.
  • Establish and enforce best practices for POCs, demos, and field technical validation.
  • Develop team training plans and professional development programs to ensure skill growth in endpoint security, incident response, and ransomware expertise.
  • Partner with Sales leadership to align team efforts to regional quotas and revenue goals.
  • Foster a culture of collaboration, innovation, and technical excellence within the Field Engineering team.
  • Support hiring and onboarding of new Solutions Architects to scale Halcyon’s market reach.
  • Maintain personal expertise in the latest trends in endpoint security, incident response, and ransomware threats to guide and mentor the team.
  • Travel domestically up to 40% to support team and customer engagements as needed. Candidates should be capable to travel on short notice, given customer necessity.

Required Skills & Qualifications

  • 8+ years in cybersecurity roles, with at least 3 years leading high-performing Solutions Architect or Sales Engineering teams.
  • Proven expertise in Endpoint Security / EDR, Incident Response, and the Ransomware lifecycle.
  • Excellent leadership and coaching abilities; demonstrated success developing talent and fostering strong team culture.
  • Track record of driving process standardization and POC success in a fast-paced technical sales environment.
  • Effective communication skills with the ability to engage customers, sales teams, and executive stakeholders.
  • Comfortable balancing strategic planning with hands-on technical engagement during escalations.
  • Certifications such as CISSP, GIAC, or equivalent are a plus.


Base Salary Range: $220,000–$280,000 plus bonus and generous equity package.

In accordance with applicable state and federal laws, the range provided is Halcyon’s reasonable estimate of the base compensation for this role. The actual amount may differ based on non-discriminatory factors such as experience, knowledge, skills, abilities, and location. Base pay is one part of the total package that is provided to compensate and recognize employees for their work, and this role may be eligible for additional discretionary bonuses/incentives, and equity in the Company.

We understand it takes a diverse team of highly intelligent, passionate, curious, and creative people to develop the exceptional product we are building. Our dynamic team has incredible perspectives to share, just as we know you do, and we take great pride in being an equal opportunity employer.

Safe Remote Job Search Tips

Verify Employer Thoroughly

Research the company's identity thoroughly before applying. Check for a professional website with contacts, active social media, and LinkedIn profiles. Verify details across platforms and look for reviews on Glassdoor or Trustpilot to confirm legitimacy.

Never Pay to Get a Job

Legitimate employers never require payment for applications, training, background checks, or equipment. Always reject upfront payment requests or demands for bank details, even if they claim it's for purchasing necessary work gear on your behalf.

Safeguard Your Personal Information

Protect sensitive data like SSN, bank details, or ID copies. Share this only after accepting a formal, written job offer. Ensure it's submitted via a secure company system or portal, never through insecure channels like standard email attachments.

Scrutinize Communication & Interviews

Watch for communication red flags: poor grammar, generic emails (@gmail), vague details, or undue pressure. Be highly suspicious of interviews held only via text or chat apps; legitimate companies typically use video or phone calls.

Beware of Unrealistic Offers

If an offer's salary or benefits seem unrealistically high for the work involved, be cautious. Research standard pay for similar roles. Offers that appear 'too good to be true' are often scams designed to lure you into providing information or payment.

Insist on a Formal Contract

Always secure and review a formal, written job offer or employment contract before starting work or sharing final personal details. Ensure it clearly defines your role, compensation, key terms, and conditions to avoid misunderstandings or scams.
