Job description

A better internet, where privacy is the default, is possible. Building this better internet might seem daunting or even unthinkable, but at Proton, we do this every day.

Proton was founded in 2014 by a group of scientists who met at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). Our first product, Proton Mail, is now the world’s largest encrypted email service. Subsequent Proton products, such as Proton VPN, Proton Calendar, Proton Drive, and Proton Pass, give our users complete control over how and with whom their data is shared.

Today, Proton makes privacy universally accessible. Journalists from outlets like The Guardian and The New York Times, the world’s largest organizations, and people in more than 180 countries have surpassed 100 million Proton accounts. Our diverse and dynamic team comprises over 450 members of over 40 nationalities. While based in Geneva, Switzerland, we have offices in Zurich, Prague, London, Vilnius, Skopje, Taipei, Paris, Barcelona, and many more employees working remotely worldwide.

Join one of Europe’s fastest-growing companies to help us solve challenging problems and build new products that will reach hundreds of millions. We want to create more than just one of the world’s most impactful tech companies; we want to make a new internet that serves the interests of all people.
