Senior Product Designer, Proton

• 5+ years designing and shipping consumer (B2C) digital products, with a portfolio demonstrating exceptional visual craft across real products — typography, layout, hierarchy, spacing, color, interaction, and motion (portfolio required with application)
• Proven ability to simplify genuinely complex problems into interfaces that feel obvious in hindsight
• Experience building and evolving design systems — not just consuming them — and understanding how consistency and flexibility work together
• Experience designing motion and micro-interactions as integral parts of production UI, not afterthoughts
• Highly proficient in Figma — moving fluidly from exploration to high-fidelity designs and interactive prototypes
• Ownership beyond your immediate work — you notice quality issues and inconsistencies, and you act on them

Desirable

• Proton's Design team shapes the visual and interaction layer across Mail, Drive, VPN, Pass, and Calendar — products used by millions of people, many of whom rely on them in high-stakes moments
• We work at the intersection of security and simplicity: our products must inspire trust without feeling intimidating, and feel refined without sacrificing clarity
• Designers are embedded within engineering teams and involved from the very beginning — problem framing, planning, implementation, and quality assurance — not brought in at the mockup stage
• The team is organized as a guild: high autonomy, shared standards, and real influence over how design is practiced across Proton
• We hold a high craft bar
• Typography, layout, spacing, color, iconography, motion — the details most companies treat as polish, we treat as the product
• If your best work is the work itself — pixels you're proud to sign — you'll be in good company here
• Own the visual and interaction quality of one or more Proton products — from early concepts through production, until what ships matches the design intent
• Design interfaces that make sophisticated privacy and security features feel intuitive and trustworthy — without oversimplifying what's underneath
• Craft visual systems — typography, hierarchy, spacing, color, iconography — that scale across millions of users
• Design motion, transitions, and micro-interactions that add meaning, not decoration
• Create icons, illustrations, and visual assets that strengthen Proton's visual language and stay consistent across products
• Raise the team's craft bar through your own execution, design critiques, and contributions to the shared design system
• Partner with Product Managers and engineers to shape solutions early, surface constraints, and stay hands-on through implementation
