The team is looking for a senior front-end engineer who enjoys working on client-side architecture, system design, and usability, and who can collaborate closely with product, design, API, and engineering partners to deliver a smooth, secure experience.<\/p>\n<p>Proton describes itself as a mission-driven company focused on making privacy the default online. It was founded by scientists from CERN and has grown from its original secure email product into a broader suite that includes VPN, Calendar, Drive, and Pass. The company emphasizes open-source technology, a global team, a flat structure, and a selective hiring process that values intelligence, learning ability, ambition, adaptability, and strong technical talent.<\/p>\n<h3>What the team is building<\/h3>\n<p>The Standard Notes group is working to turn the platform into a leading secure note-taking, knowledge management, and productivity tool. The work includes improving editor capabilities, making information easier to organize, and refining synchronization across devices. The team is also building advanced features such as encrypted search, tagging, richer note formatting, and integrations, all within a React and TypeScript codebase that operates under end-to-end encryption constraints.<\/p>\n<p>Because encryption changes what is possible on the front end, the role involves solving unusual product and engineering problems. Search, syncing, and related features must function entirely inside a secure encrypted environment, so the engineer in this role will help push the boundaries of privacy-first software while keeping the product simple, usable, and performant.<\/p>\n<h3>What you will do<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Design, build, release, and maintain high-quality user-facing features across the product line, especially those that improve knowledge management, productivity, and information organization.<\/li>\n<li>Convert product requirements and specifications into technical direction, then lead the team through implementation.<\/li>\n<li>Strengthen the development workflow, codebase structure, and tooling so the engineering experience is better for the whole team.<\/li>\n<li>Produce code that is concise, testable, and maintainable, helping preserve and improve overall code quality.<\/li>\n<li>Own the scoping, planning, and delivery of new features, technical improvements, and, depending on seniority, greenfield initiatives.<\/li>\n<li>Help create a team culture built on learning, creativity, ownership, and accountability.<\/li>\n<li>Mentor colleagues and set an example through strong quality practices, thoughtful performance work, and a commitment to engineering excellence.<\/li>\n<li>Work closely with Product, Design, API, and other engineers to make informed decisions and ship features that feel seamless to users.<\/li>\n<li>Contribute to architecture and implementation of features such as encrypted search, tagging, advanced formatting, and integrations.<\/li>\n<li>Support the ongoing evolution of Standard Notes by improving the editor, data organization, and cross-platform synchronization.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Skills and experience needed<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Deep knowledge of JavaScript, including common methodologies and design patterns.<\/li>\n<li>Strong capability with TypeScript or another typed language.<\/li>\n<li>Experience with React, or with at least two similar frameworks, and a track record of building reusable, performant components.<\/li>\n<li>Good understanding of software engineering fundamentals, including SOLID principles, design patterns, and CI\/CD practices.<\/li>\n<li>A product-focused mindset and a strong interest in building excellent user experiences.<\/li>\n<li>Experience working in distributed teams.<\/li>\n<li>Comfort working at a senior level with architecture, system design, usability, and technical leadership.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Nice-to-have experience<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Awareness of common client-side security risks, including OWASP Top 10 issues, and how to mitigate them.<\/li>\n<li>Familiarity with UX, accessibility, internationalization, and localization.<\/li>\n<li>Experience with Grafana or similar monitoring and observability tools.<\/li>\n<li>Experience translating product requirements into architecture and implementation plans.<\/li>\n<li>Experience with Node.js.<\/li>\n<li>High-level understanding of cryptography, including key exchange and the distinction between symmetric and asymmetric encryption.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Tools and technology<\/h3>\n<p>The team works with JavaScript, TypeScript, React, ES6, Playwright, Jest, and Grafana. The Standard Notes codebases are open source, and the posting points candidates to the relevant GitHub organization for more context.<\/p>\n<h3>Working style and location<\/h3>\n<p>The company follows an office-first approach because it believes in-person collaboration is more effective. The role is associated with offices in Geneva, Zurich, Prague, Barcelona, Paris, London, Vilnius, Skopje, and Taipei. Employees can also work from home for up to 30% of the time, while spending the three core days of the week in the office. The posting is marked onsite, and applicants are asked to choose the office location they want to work from, including the country and city.<\/p>\n<p>Flexible hours are available as long as they work with team meetings. The role also expects candidates to be able to work in the chosen location and to confirm whether they have the appropriate work authorization or permit for that place.<\/p>\n<h3>What Proton offers<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>All necessary hardware and software to do the job effectively.<\/li>\n<li>Lunch and snacks provided every day in the office.<\/li>\n<li>Support for commuting and transport expenses, which may come in the form of public transport support, bike allowances, or parking depending on the office.<\/li>\n<li>Stock options so employees share in company ownership.<\/li>\n<li>Flexible working hours that can be adapted around team collaboration.<\/li>\n<li>Learning and development support, including training, conferences, events, and ongoing learning opportunities.<\/li>\n<li>Health insurance coverage.<\/li>\n<li>Retirement savings support.<\/li>\n<li>Vacation and leave policies that are described as generous.<\/li>\n<li>Wellness programs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>About the company and culture<\/h3>\n<p>Proton presents itself as a community-first organization funded by users rather than venture capital. It says it serves more than 100 million user accounts and employs a team of more than 500 people from over 50 countries. The company emphasizes privacy, security, freedom, openness, and a flat structure that avoids unnecessary politics and helps teams move quickly. It also highlights its commitment to diversity, inclusion, and reasonable adjustments during the hiring process.<\/p>\n<p>The organization says it values intelligence, learning potential, and ambition, and that it hires selectively. It encourages candidates who want to do meaningful work and contribute to products that support activists, organizations, and individuals who need secure communication and privacy-preserving tools.<\/p>\n<h3>How to apply<\/h3>\n<p>Applicants are invited to submit their application through the Greenhouse form. The form requests a resume or CV, a cover letter, links to LinkedIn, GitHub, or a portfolio, salary expectations, the earliest date the candidate can start, the office location they want to work from, and confirmation of work eligibility for that location. Candidates are also asked to explain why the role is a good fit for them, what excites them about Proton, and any other information they would like to share.<\/p>\n<p>Proton also includes a candidate privacy notice explaining that application data is stored in Greenhouse, used to assess suitability for the role, and may be retained for future opportunities. Candidates can contact the privacy team with questions or requests related to access, correction, or deletion of their data.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><strong>Degree Requirement:<\/strong> Not Specified<\/p>\n<p><strong>Visa Sponsorship May be<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_promoted":"","_job_location":"London","_application":"https:\/\/job-boards.eu.greenhouse.io\/proton\/jobs\/4899457101","_company_name":"Proton","_company_website":"","_company_tagline":"","_company_twitter":"","_company_video":"","_filled":0,"_featured":0,"_remote_position":0,"_job_salary":"","_job_salary_currency":"GBP","_job_salary_unit":"yearly"},"job-types":[38],"class_list":["post-2407","job_listing","type-job_listing","status-publish","job-type-experienced"],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/coderseditor.com\/itjobs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job-listings\/2407","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/coderseditor.com\/itjobs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job-listings"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/coderseditor.com\/itjobs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/job_listing"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coderseditor.com\/itjobs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/coderseditor.com\/itjobs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2407"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"job_listing_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coderseditor.com\/itjobs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job-types?post=2407"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
