As a member of the ProtonVPN Research and Development team, you will work with your team to crack all the various challenges related to censorship, such as censorship of VPN access itself, operated by various regimes across the globe. Your responsibilities will include collaborating with app developers to help solve the various complex challenges related to (but not limited to) the networking stack of Linux, macOS, iOS, Android, and Windows systems, developing innovative solutions to improve the connectivity, stability, performance, scalability, security, and resilience in the most adverse network conditions of ProtonVPN's infrastructure and client software, and extending their functionality.

Requirements: Expert-level knowledge of operating system internals, expertise with network protocols and implementation (UDP and TCP stacks), experience with system programming languages (C/C++, Rust, Go, Python, Lua, etc.), a documented track record of contributions to system-level projects and applications, experience with software development and system design, and understanding of the principles of quality assurance.

Knowledge in the following areas is considered a plus: Expertise in Windows, macOS, or Linux system development, extensive experience working with Linux kernel, Windows drivers, or macOS system extensions development, strong understanding of system programming languages (C/C++, Rust, Go, Python, Lua, etc.), experience with debugging code and code profiling, good understanding of TCP/IP protocol and settings (e.g., congestion algorithms), strong understanding of VPN protocols (particularly OpenVPN and WireGuard), and experience with cryptography concepts (e.g., TLS certificates and public key infrastructure).

Why should you join Proton? Proton is not just a product or service but a community-driven movement united by a shared vision of online freedom. Our services are open source, audited, and supported by community contributions. We give back to our community by maintaining core encryption libraries and by supporting other organizations furthering the same goals as us. Proton is free, open source, neutral, independent, and community first, while remaining financially sustainable.

Our team is diverse, collaborative, and tight-knit with people coming from all walks of life, including many of the world's top academic institutions and organizations, such as MIT, Harvard, Stanford, Caltech, Cambridge, and ETH. We value your opinion and encourage you to speak up and share your ideas and thoughts. At Proton, no problem is someone else's problem. We collectively strive to do the right thing and be the undisputed best in the world at everything we do.

Benefits vary by location and type of contract but expect support on your vacation, parental leave, refreshment if working from the office, learning and development opportunities, equity for shared success, flexible working hours and remote work, company events and team building activities.
