A better internet, where privacy is the default, is possible. Building this better internet might seem daunting or even
unthinkable, but at Proton, this is what we do 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, and Proton Drive, give our users full 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, some of the
world’s largest organizations, and people in more than 180 countries have signed up for over 100 million accounts. Our diverse and
dynamic team is made up of more than 400 members representing over 40 different nationalities. While we are based in Geneva,
Switzerland, we have offices in Zurich, Prague, London, Vilnius, Skopje, Taipei, and many more employees working remotely around
the world.
Join one of Europe’s fastest-growing companies to help us solve challenging problems and build new products that will reach
hundreds of millions of people. We want to create more than just one of the world’s most impactful tech companies; we want to
create a new internet that serves the interests of all people. We need you, your voice, your ideas, and your ambition to make it
happen.
About the position
Our Creative & Growth Studio is looking for a talented and eager Web & Visual Designer to join our passionate design team. You

In collaboration with marketing, brand, content, and engineering teams, you will contribute to creating a best-in-class website
experience for http://proton.me and http://protonvpn.com. Our goal is to delight visitors and guide them through Proton's privacy
ecosystem. This is a great opportunity for a designer who is passionate about visual design, eager to learn UX best practices, and
ready to apply their skills to real-world projects that impact millions of users.

What you will do:
- Support the design process: Create concepts, wireframes, and high-fidelity web mockups, adhering to Web UX and UI standards
(accessibility, usability, consistency, responsiveness).
- Execute user-first designs: Create visually appealing and engaging website elements that align with brand guidelines and
conversion-oriented design principles.
- Build prototypes: Develop interactive prototypes to illustrate information architecture, user flows, and interface behaviors
for review and testing.
- Ensure consistency: Apply modern UI patterns and interaction standards to ensure designs look great across desktop, tablet, and
mobile devices.
- Collaborate: Work closely with marketing, content, design, and engineering teams to deliver high-quality user experiences as
part of a larger workflow.
- Contribute to the Design System: Help maintain and expand our component-based Proton Design System by creating and updating
components as directed.
Job requirements
- Experience: 4+ years of experience as a Web or UI Designer. Please include a link to your Portfolio.
- Design Skills: Ability to create web-optimized designs and visuals that respect a given brand/visual identity.
- User-Centered Mindset: A passion for creating intuitive experiences and a willingness to learn about user journeys and
conversion optimization.

presenting your work to the team.
- Language: Excellent communication skills in English.
- Tools: Proficiency in industry-standard design tools, such as Figma and Adobe Creative Suite.
- Bonus Points: Familiarity with using AI tools within your creative process is a bonus. Experience with motion design,
animation, or illustration is an added advantage.
Why join us? You will have the opportunity to contribute to the design of some of the most visited websites in Europe, gaining
exposure to large-scale projects while working in a supportive, innovative environment.
