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 Big Tech’s invasive practices, and defeat censorship. Our work impacts hundreds of millions of
lives, from activists on the front lines defending freedom to leaders in governments protecting sensitive information. In some
cases, Proton’s services have even been instrumental in saving lives by enabling secure and private communications in high-risk
situations.
Proton is a profitable company that does not rely upon VC funding, supporting over 100 million user accounts with a growing team
of over 500 people from over 50 different countries, from the world's top companies and universities. We value intelligence,
learning potential, and ambition in our hiring process. Adaptability is key as we navigate uncharted territories and redefine how
business is conducted online.
Hiring at Proton is highly selective, with less than 1% of candidates hired. We believe smaller teams of exceptional talent will
always prevail over larger teams with lower talent density. You will have the opportunity work with many of the world's top minds
in their fields, ranging from former international math and science olympiad winners to chess champions.
We have a global mindset and big ambitions but remain a start-up at heart. We value empowerment and flexibility and keep our
structure flat to keep moving fast and avoid unnecessary politics. Tired of blending into the crowd? Join us and do work you can
truly be proud of. Check our open-source projects here!
The Meet Team:
With Meet, your calls remain private. No third parties—advertisers, hackers, spying governments, or even us—can access your calls.
As a Frontend Engineer in the Meet team, you will play a key role in building intuitive, performant, and secure user experiences
for our communication platform.
You will be responsible for developing and maintaining user-facing features, ensuring seamless interactions, responsiveness, and
high-quality UI across devices. Working closely with backend, design, and other teams, you will help deliver features that are
both reliable and user-centric.
You will advocate for clean, maintainable code and strong frontend architecture, while balancing performance, accessibility, and
rapid feature delivery to provide the best experience for our users.
Tech Stack and Tools:
- Our frontend is built with React and Rust
- Our backend API is based on PHP/Symfony
- All our client-code is open-source and GPL3.
- We are migrating our infrastructure to Kubernetes
- Everything runs on premise in Proton's data-centers
- To organize our work we use classic tools such as Jira and Confluence
What you will do:
We believe in small empowered teams that focus on delivering large impact. This requires strong engineers with product engineering
mindset who can collaborate well, take ownership, and do whatever is needed to achieve our ambitious goals. Join a global team to
shape Proton Meet, which was launched in 2026 to provide free encrypted video calls for all.
What we are looking for:
- Extensive experience with React, developing performant and reusable components
- Proficiency with TypeScript or any typed language
- Experience leading large and complex projects as a front engineer
- Bonus for experience using agentic AI
- Bonus for experience in audio/video app, WebRTC and Messaging Layer Security
Even if you don’t meet all the requirements listed above, but feel you could still be a great fit, please still apply.
What We Offer:
- Work that Matters: millions of people trust Proton with their privacy. We answer only to our users — not advertisers, not
investors with conflicting agendas, not governments. The work you do here is real, and the impact is measurable. (read more
about our impact here)
- Technology: you'll get the right hardware and the right software you need to do your best work.
- Learning & Development: we invest in your growth because sharp people make us better. Proton is one of the fastest ways to
accelerate your career because you'll be thrown into real challenges, with real ownership, from day one.
- Employee Benefits: your wellbeing isn't an afterthought. We offer strong health coverage, solid retirement options, generous
leave, and wellness support so you can bring your best self to work every day
- Stock Options: at Proton, we all have the opportunity to be owners of the company. From day one, you have a real stake in what
we're building. When Proton wins, you win.
- In-Person Collaboration: Amazing things happen when passionate, smart, and purposeful people get together in the same room.
With offices across Geneva, Zürich, Barcelona, London and more, you'll spend most of your time collaborating face-to-face with
people who genuinely care about what they're building
- Food: Lunch and snacks are on us every day in our offices so you can focus on the work and not on what's for lunch.
- Transport: getting to the office shouldn't cost you. We cover public transport, bike allowances, or parking, whichever works
for you.
- Flexible Working: you own your schedule. Set hours that work for you and your team — because outcomes matter more than when the
clock says you started.
Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion
At Proton, we believe diversity drives innovation and strengthens our mission to provide privacy as a default for all. We are

promote open dialogue, and support continuous learning to ensure every voice is heard and respected.
If you need any extra support or reasonable adjustments during the hiring process, please let your talent partner know.
