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 Team

The Inbox Business Unit drives the development of Proton Mail (our flagship product line) and Proton Calendar. We are a cross-functional team of (ballpark figure) 60 engineers, product managers, designers and data analysts. We are committed to constantly push the boundaries of what we can achieve. It’s not always an easy journey, but it’s one that offers the chance to create meaningful impact and drive lasting change.

The Inbox Desktop team is responsible for developing desktop clients of Inbox i.e. Proton Mail Desktop App, Proton Mail Bridge, and the Export tool.

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.
