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!
Proton's Design team shapes the experience for tens of millions of users across Mail, Drive, VPN, Pass, and Calendar. Designers
sit embedded within engineering teams, involved in every stage — ceremonies, scoping, implementation, and testing — not parachuted
in at the mockup phase. The team is structured as a guild: high autonomy, significant ownership, and real influence over how the
design function itself evolves. We work cross-functionally across product, engineering, and marketing, and we care deeply about
visual craft. We're not looking for designers who've drifted toward pure strategy or metrics — this role demands someone who still
loves getting their hands dirty and takes personal pride in what ships. If that's where you do your best work, you'll fit here.

committed to fostering an inclusive environment where all individuals, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual
orientation, physical ability, or socio-economic background, feel valued and empowered. We strive to create equal opportunities,

JOIN PROTON AND BUILD A BETTER INTERNET WHERE PRIVACY IS THE DEFAULT Proton was founded in 2014 by scientists from CERN on a simple truth: privacy is a fundamental human right. Since then, we've built the world's largest encrypted email service (Proton Mail) and expanded into Proton VPN, Proton Drive, Proton Pass, and Proton Calendar — tools used by millions globally to protect their freedom, fight censorship, and keep their data safe. In some situations, Proton has literally helped save lives. We are profitable, independent (no VC control), and selectively hire from the top ~1% of applicants. Our 700+ team members across 50+ countries come from leading organizations and elite academic backgrounds. We move fast, keep hierarchy light, and prioritize impact over optics. If you want to do meaningful work with exceptionally high-caliber people, this is it. Check our open-source projects here. The Role As VP Design, you will own and lead the design function across both Product Design (user experience, interface, service design) and Brand / Marketing Design (visual identity, campaign creative, brand experience). You’ll partner closely with the CEO, VP Marketing and Heads of Product, helping shape strategy, drive design excellence, and ensure that design becomes a core differentiator for Proton. You will build, mentor and scale a high-performing, multi-disciplinary design organisation, embedding design thinking across the company. What you will do • Define and execute the strategic vision for design at Proton, bridging product and brand to deliver a unified and differentiated experience globally. • Lead, develop and grow a world-class design organisation: recruiting designers and researchers structuring teams across product and brand, setting performance metrics, fostering a culture of creativity, craft and user-centricity. • Partner with the CEO, VP Marketing and Heads of Product to ensure design is embedded into strategic roadmaps, product launches, marketing campaigns and brand initiatives. • Oversee the end-to-end design process for all major product lines and brand campaigns: user research, UX/UI, service design, prototyping, testing, visual design, motion, interactive experiences. • Ensure that the Proton brand identity is strong, consistent, scalable and flexible across all touchpoints: digital, mobile, web, marketing, physical, events. • Drive design systems, tools and processes across product & brand to deliver efficiency, quality, consistency and scale. • Advocate for users and privacy-first design principles in everything we build and brand. • Monitor and measure design impact: user experience metrics, brand perception, conversion, retention, campaign effectiveness; iterate and optimise accordingly. • Represent design externally: speak on design at conferences, build Proton’s design reputation, collaborate with creative agencies and partners worldwide. What We’re Looking For • A minimum of 15 + years of experience in design leadership roles (product, brand and/or marketing) at a global technology company or agency. • Proven track record of building, scaling and operating design organisations with cross-functional reach. • Strong experience overseeing both product (UX/UI, service design) and brand/marketing design (visual identity, campaign creative) — not one or the other only. • Demonstrated ability to define and execute design strategy that drives business impact (growth, engagement, retention, brand equity). • Excellent stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work at executive level and influence across product, marketing, engineering and operations. • Deep user-centred design mindset; strong portfolio showing end-to-end work (research → strategy → UX → UI → brand visuals). • Skilled in designing for global audiences, with sensitivity to cultural differences and brand consistency across markets. • Expertise in building and scaling design systems, establishing best practices and operational processes in fast-growing environments. • Excellent leadership and people development skills: mentoring senior designers, creating high-performing teams, promoting a culture of craftsmanship and innovation. • Comfortable working in a dynamic, high-growth company with a mission-driven ethos and a global, diverse team. • Strong communicator with polished presentation and storytelling skills; fluent in English (other languages a plus). WHAT WE OFFER * Work that Matters: Millions of people trust Proton with their privacy. We answer only to our users — not advertisers, not investors with conflicting agendas, not governments. * A Great Team: Diverse, collaborative, and tight-knit, with people from MIT, Harvard, Stanford, Caltech, Cambridge, ETH, and more. * Technology: The right hardware and software to do your best work. * Learning & Development: We invest in your growth. Proton is one of the fastest ways to accelerate your career — real challenges, real ownership, from day one. * Employee Benefits: Strong health coverage, solid retirement options, generous leave, and wellness support. * Stock Options: From day one, you have a real stake in what we're building. When Proton wins, you win. * In-Person Collaboration: Offices across Geneva, Zürich, Barcelona, London, and more. You'll spend most of your time collaborating face-to-face. * Food: Lunch and snacks on us every day in the office. * Transport: We cover public transport, bike allowances, or parking — whichever works for you. * Flexible Working: You own your schedule. Outcomes matter more than clock-in times. OUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION At Proton, we believe diversity drives innovation and strengthens our mission to provide privacy as a default for all. We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where all individuals — regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, physical ability, or socio-economic background — feel valued and empowered.

MOVE CITIES FORWARD WITH US At Cabify, we’re working to make cities better places to live. We believe mobility should be more accessible, efficient and sustainable, helping people move through their day with more freedom and fewer barriers. We connect people and businesses with the transport options they need, while working towards a future where cities depend less on private cars and more on shared, smarter ways of moving. There’s still a long way to go, and design has an important role to play in shaping that future. Want to join us? THE DESIGN TEAM The design team sits within Cabify’s Technology area, alongside Engineering, Product and Data. That means we work closely with the teams shaping, building and measuring our products, and that design has a direct voice in decisions that affect both the user experience and business impact. We’re a team of 20 people spread across different locations in Spain, with most of us based in Madrid. The team is organised into three main groups: Product Design, Design System/Web and Core Design. Across all three, we partner closely with technical teams as well as stakeholders in Growth, Business and Marketing, bringing together product, brand, communications, systems and experience. Our work blends execution, craft and collaboration. We design experiences across the Cabify ecosystem, evolve our design system, maintain consistency across our interfaces and brands, and make sure our solutions are grounded in real user needs, business opportunities and meaningful product problems. We also stay close to emerging technologies and ways of working, continuously testing new tools, processes and practices that can help us design better and move smarter. We also have our own design rituals to share knowledge, raise the bar and keep our design culture strong: monthly Design Meetings, quarterly Design Days, weekly critiques and glues, where we align on solutions, spot shared patterns and stay connected as a team. We see ourselves as a high-standards, down-to-earth and committed team, always looking to learn, share and improve together. Designing at Cabify means having autonomy, but also being part of a community that sees design as a collective practice, closely connected to technology, business and everyday life in cities. THE ROLE As a Product Designer at Cabify, you’ll work within the Technology area, partnering closely with Product, Engineering, Data and Research to design experiences that create real impact for the people who use our products and for the company’s goals. Your work will involve understanding complex problems, spotting opportunities, designing clear solutions and bringing them all the way to implementation together with technical teams. We expect you to combine product thinking, design craft, user empathy and business understanding to build solutions that are simple, useful and well executed. The day-to-day life of a Product Designer at Cabify brings together exploration, definition, design, validation and collaboration. You’ll work with Product Managers, Engineering Managers, Software Engineers, Data Scientists, User Researchers and other designers to turn real needs into experiences that improve mobility in our cities. You’ll also be an active part of the design team, contributing to critiques, glues and Design Meetings, sharing learnings, systematising solutions and helping raise the quality of design across the Cabify ecosystem. Some examples of projects you could work on: * Improve key experiences across Rider, Driver or Business. * Redesign critical flows such as sign-up, support, payments or bookings. * Create solutions for companies, fleets and travel managers. * Identify friction points and turn them into improvement opportunities. * Reduce drop-off, increase conversion and improve satisfaction. * Validate decisions together with Data and Research. * Shape viable and scalable solutions with Engineering. * Evolve patterns, components and criteria in the Design System. * Explore new tools, processes and ways of working. * Share knowledge with the wider design team. WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR If you’re interested, we think you could be a great fit if you have: * Strong alignment with our principles. * Interest in a hybrid working model, with 3 days a week from our Madrid office and 2 days working remotely. On top of that, we offer 6 weeks a year to work fully remotely, split into 3 weeks per semester. * The ability to connect features and initiatives, balancing quick wins with more complete experience redesigns. * A mindset for designing proposals that move our metrics in the right direction. * Interest in understanding technology, because it helps us design simpler and more effective solutions. * Curiosity for new tools, processes and ways of designing, especially around AI-driven workflows and new automation capabilities. At Cabify, we provide the space, tools and resources — including access to models and tokens — so the team can explore, learn and create real impact in their work. * A research mindset that helps you make better-informed decisions. * Strong interaction design skills to help people complete tasks in a simple and intuitive way through well-designed interfaces. * The ability to create visual experiences that are not only useful, but also build emotion and connection with our users, shape perception and influence behaviour, ultimately contributing to the business. * Clear and concise communication skills in both English and Spanish language, with the ability to explain design decisions, connect different perspectives and act as a bridge between technical and non-technical disciplines. * The ability to create proposals, documentation and design deliverables that help teams make better decisions, stay aligned and contribute clearly to the company’s strategy. * And most importantly, a humble attitude, motivation to work with a passionate team, and the ability to receive feedback and think critically about your own work. For sure, you don't need to check all the boxes to be a good match. THE OFFER We’re a company full of happy, motivated people and we never want that to change. Here are some more reasons why it rocks to be part of our family: 💶 Excellent Salary conditions: L4 Senior [50K-74K€] 🌍 Our office is located in Madrid. ⌚ Flexible work environment & hours. 🙌 Regular team events. 🚗 Cabify staff free rides. 🚀 Personal development programs based on our career paths. 📐 Coursera: your own license in Coursera to take as many courses as you wish and continue developing your skills. 🧘♀️ iFeel: Free access to the iFeel platform, so you can take care of your emotional well-being through therapy sessions. 💳 Flexible compensation plan: Restaurant tickets, transport tickets, healthcare and childcare. 🐱 A pet room, so you don’t have to leave your furry friend at home. ☕️ And last but not least...free coffee and fruit!
