Job description

Join Proton and build a better internet where privacy is the default. Proton was founded in 2014 by scientists from CERN on a simple truth: privacy is a fundamental human right. Since then, we've built the world's largest encrypted email service (Proton Mail) and expanded into Proton VPN, Proton Drive, Proton Pass, and Proton Calendar - tools used by millions globally to protect their freedom, fight censorship, and keep their data safe. In some situations, Proton has literally helped save lives. We are profitable, independent (no VC control), and selectively hire from the top ~1% of applicants. Our 700+ team members across 50+ countries come from leading organizations and elite academic backgrounds. We move fast, keep hierarchy light, and prioritize impact over optics. If you want to do meaningful work with exceptionally high-caliber people, this is it. Check our open-source projects here .

Purpose of the role

Storage is at the very center of everything we do. Whatever needs to be persisted eventually uses our Storage infrastructure. For this we run our infrastructure predominantly on-premise in multiple data centers. In this role you will join the Storage SRE team that is responsible to automate, scale, enhance and run our Storage infrastructure.

The office locations we hire into for this role are Geneva/Switzerland or Paris/France.
