Description du poste

Join Proton and build a better internet where privacy is the default.

At Proton, we believe that privacy is a fundamental human right and the cornerstone of democracy. Since our inception in 2014, founded by a team of scientists from CERN, we have dedicated ourselves to providing free and open-source technology to millions worldwide, ensuring access to privacy, security, and freedom online.

Our journey began with Proton Mail, the largest secure email service globally, and has since expanded to include Proton VPN, Proton Calendar, Proton Drive, and Proton Pass. These tools empower individuals and organizations to take control of their personal data, break away from invasive practices of Big Tech, and combat censorship. Our work impacts hundreds of millions, from activists defending freedom to government leaders protecting sensitive information. In some cases, Proton's services have been instrumental in saving lives by enabling secure and private communications in high-risk situations.

Proton is a profitable company that does not rely on VC funding, supporting over 100 million user accounts with a growing team of over 500 people from more than 50 countries, drawn from top companies and universities worldwide. We value intelligence, learning potential, and ambition in our hiring process. Adaptability is key as we navigate uncharted territories and redefine how online business is conducted.

Hiring at Proton is highly selective, with less than 1% of candidates hired. We believe smaller teams of exceptional talent will always outperform larger, less skilled teams. You will have the opportunity to work with many of the world's top minds, including former international math and science Olympiad winners and chess champions.

We have a global mindset and big ambitions but remain a startup at heart. We value empowerment and flexibility, maintaining a flat structure to stay agile and avoid unnecessary politics. Tired of blending into the crowd? Join us and do work you can truly be proud of, with our open-source projects here!
