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!

Purpose of the role

MSA is a highly multi-disciplinary group started in 2019 to tackle difficult mail delivery, spam, abuse, and account security problems that impact the Proton ecosystem. We built sophisticated systems from scratch that combine human intelligence and machine learning to make tens of millions of realtime or asynchronous decisions each day. As of late 2023, our areas of focus are 1) mail delivery and spam, 2) abuse and account security, 3) site reliability of Proton, and 4) a new product involving blockchains. Over the past few years, our custom systems have reduced spam filter misclassifications by over 60%, blocked millions of abusive bulk signups, protected hundreds of thousands of users from account compromise by attackers, and mitigated hundreds of DDoS attacks. In order to move fast with limited resources, we are organized into autonomous teams responsible for the whole system, with expertise across infrastructure, data storage, backend, web and mobile apps, machine learning, security and operational excellence. In 3 years, we grew from 2 engineers to over 30 engineers and analysts, spread across 3 continents for 24/7 coverage. We are looking for humble, mission-driven, systems-thinking people who want to make a big impact in a startup environment.

  • Awareness of common security issues in client-side development, such as those in the OWASP top ten, and how to mitigate them.
  • Familiarity with UX, accessibility, internationalisation, and localisation concerns and solutions.
  • Experience with Grafana or other monitoring platforms.

What We Offer

На 15.12.2022 година, на ФИНКИ се одржа првиот тренинг за анализа на научни податоци со KNIME. Тренингот е во рамките на активностите на Отворената лабораторија за истражување во облакот.

Во рамките на повикот за финансирање на научно истражувачки лаборатории кој го распиша МОН во 2021 година, ФИНКИ аплицираше и доби 70% финансирање за формирање на Отворена лабораторија за истражување во облакот.

Лабораторијата се состои од неколку целини. Првата целина претставува кластер за пресметување со високи перформанси базирани на графички процесори, кои во изминатиот период стануваат основно средство за процесирање на големи податоци и вештачка интелигенција (Big data, Artificial Intelligence). Втората целина претставува платформа за процесирање во облак која ќе овозможи брз и едноставен пристап до пресметковни ресурси за истражувачите. Третата целина ќе претставува големо складиште на податоци, кое ќе биде интегрирано со претходните две целини, а во кое истражувачите ќе имаат можност за складирање на своите податочни множества. Исто така во рамки на просторот за складирање на податоци, ќе биде воспоставен и репозиториум на отворени податочни множества (open datasets) каде истражувачите ќе можат јавно и отворено да ги публикуваат податочните множества и резултати, со што ќе се зголеми нивната видливост и можност за соработка и имплементација постулатите на отворена наука.

Во рамките на активностите на проектот предвидено е и организирање на обуки за корисниците, по што ќе следи отворен повик за истражувачите за користење на ресурсите на оваа значајна лабораторија.

Првата обука се однесуваше на алатката KNIME (https://www.knime.com/) за анализа на податоци, со визуелен интерфејс, без кодирање, што ја прави оваа платформа соодветна за луѓе од различни области. Беше претставен процесот на креирање на аналитички модели, почнувајќи од едноставни, до по сложени модели на машинско учење. Практично беа прикажани примери за анализа, предвидување, класификација и кластерирање на податоци од различни области, како од медицината, економијата, енергетиката и сл. 

Предавачи беа вонр. проф. д-р Мирослав Мирчев и доц. д-р Александра Дединец од ФИНКИ.

Во следниот период ќе се одржат и други слични настани, ориентирани кон анализа на податоци од специфични домени.
