Frontend Engineer (Accounts) in London

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, 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.

The Account team owns the capabilities across the full user lifecycle - from acquisition and account creation, through protection, recovery, and user management, to retention and end-of-life. Account is one of the key functions that are positioned centrally providing a foundation for all of Proton's products.

Tech Stack and Tools:

• Our web client is React/Typescript
• 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.

Future plans: With the increasing number of Proton product releases, we have ambitions to accelerate this process by unifying the Account experience across all devices, clients, and audiences. In addition, the account team is in the process of crafting scalable IAM solution serving as the backbone of our B2B offerings. The accounts team is growing fast, which creates future opportunities to lead and take ownership of significant areas of the system.

What you will do:

• Develop, deploy, and support high-quality user experiences.
• Scope, plan, and execute new features and technical initiatives.
• Contribute to product specifications, transform them into technical requirements, and oversee successful delivery.
• Write clear, concise, and testable code to maintain and elevate the quality of our codebase.

What we are looking for:

• Strong experience building modern web applications with React.
• Proficiency in TypeScript or another strongly typed language.
• Experience leading the delivery of projects.
• A strong product mindset with a focus on delivering high quality, user centred experiences.
• Experience collaborating effectively within a distributed cross functional team.

Bonus points for:

• Familiarity with identity and access management concepts.
• Experience building and scaling B2B products.
• Knowledge of Rust and WebAssembly.
• Experience writing E2E tests using Playwright or another E2E test framework.
• Awareness of common client-side security risks (e.g. OWASP Top Ten) and practical mitigation strategies.
• Experience with Grafana and Metabase or other observability and monitoring platforms.
• High-level understanding of cryptography fundamentals, such as key exchange and symmetric vs. asymmetric encryption.

What We Offer:

• Office First: Collaboration is easier and more effective in person, which is why we have offices in various locations. You can also enjoy working from home up to 30% of the time.
• Technology: We provide all the devices and software you need to excel in your role.
• Food: Lunch and snacks are provided by Proton every day at our offices.
• Transport: We will always support our employees with transport costs.
• Stock Options: You get stock options when you join us.
• Flexible Working: You can define your own working hours.
• Learning and Development: We are committed to your professional growth.
• Employee Benefits: Comprehensive health insurance plans, competitive retirement savings options, generous vacation and leave policies, and wellness programs.

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 committed to fostering an inclusive environment where all individuals feel valued and empowered.
